New York Toy Stores: Toys R Us in Times Square

This flagship Toys R Us store is in Times Square, that little snippet of NYC that gets 26M visitors every year.

This giant store of the giant chain takes the notion of "toy store as fun place" into a whole a new zone, with on-site "attractions" such as: a 60-foot tall indoor ferris wheel; a 34-foot animatronic Jurassic Park T-Rex (above) ; Barbie's Dollhouse that spans two floors; life-size Candyland board game, filled with candy of course; special events and performances (bubble artists, preschool bands...)

Personal shoppers are complimentary, in the store or by phone.

About's Guide for NYC for Visitors has tips for visiting Times Square.
