Take your time. Linger. Indulge a little. We spent hours in this store and left with our wallets a little lighter but our spirits that much brighter. My daughter had her face painted. We toured every nook and cranny of the place, and of course scored a few bags of candy from FAO Schweetz. This place is a kid's wonderland.... More

Im a big kid at heart and this was just heaven! There are so many cuddley toys and they are all good prices! There is everything you could think of here! Then you go upstairs to the giant keyboard from the movie Big! Sadly they were only letting kids have a go but if you have $250,000 free they sell... More

If you have never been to a FAO you need to go..lots of constriction around the store when I went but still fun...if they dont have it you dont need it personally I liked the Muppet Factory..definately brings out the kid in us all:)

Doesnt matter how old you are you have to go here! The best toys, the best variety of toys and the best for big kids too. We went in December 2012 amongst all the christmas hustle and bustle and it was the best atmosphere around. Something here for everybody. Was a little dissappointment that the famous piano was overuled by... More

If you have kids, this is a great store to visit along with toys r us and Disney. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. It had all the classics.
