In fact, it is so great that it might make you feel like a child again – so do try to visit it even if you are in NYC without kids. And visit it even if you don’t want to buy anything from there – it is worth the visit.

Toys R Us Times Square is the world’s largest Toys R Us – it is 110,000 square feet! With so many attractions within the store, it feels more like a tourist spot than a toy store!
