My kids truly like there. They took the wheelride around 10PM on Friday's night. The hours for the store is long. Opening early and closing late at midnight or so.

Took our children into ToysRUs b/c we heard it was a great store to look around and that they have an indoor ferris wheel. Should have know better! The cost to ride was $5/person AND only four could go on it... There were five of us so my children went with their dad. OVerall the store was neat to see... More

The store is absolutely massive! Its amazing, you get your picture taken as well. They have a huge ferris wheel in there too, which we went on just for a bit of fun!

The indoor ride is nice, but overall it is not much different than your standard toy store. If you are pushing a stroller it can be very difficult to get any where within the store.

The Ferris Wheel was an extra bonus for my husband and son! Very organized store! Didn't like the fuzzy characters outside waiting to take pictures with the kids and then shoving a TIP bag in your face.

Went to the story on a brisk Saturday morning. The store is great and all most too much for the little ones to process, this is not a bad thing, we could see their heads spinning from all the stuff, sounds and bright lights. The Ferris wheel is fun $5 per ticket for all ages. Great birds eye view of... More

Visiting Toys R Us was something we had to do with young kids. With the three story Ferris wheel in the center of the store it fits right in with Times Square. We did not ride the Ferris wheel as the line stretched around it, which was probably an hour or more wait. I really like the layout, how they... More

This is the best Toys R Us store around. There is a huge Farris wheel in the center which is inexpensive and lines move quickly. Kids get a kick out of the experience. The lego department has many neat and well built models like The Big Apple, the Empire State Building, and Captain Jack. The huge Barbie house inside is... More

The kids loved the ferris wheel and all the toys inside! But the annoying characters standing outside the store were an extreme distraction. They were dressed up as Mickey, Minnie, Sponge Bob, Hello Kitty - practically any cartoon character known to man was out there. And all of them were there for one reason. Panhandling. These were the perfect "tourist... More
