FAO Schwarz Celebrates 160 Years of Toys

FAO Schwarz is celebrating 160 years of toy store magic and you are invited to join in on the fun!

The iconic curator of larger-than-life experiences and toys for kids and kids-at-heart is hosting a free, family-friendly event in the heart of mid town Manhattan for all to enjoy.  Head on over to the FAO Schwarz flagship store on Saturday October 8th for all the magic.

If you grew up going to FAO or are as big of a toy fan as I am this is one event not to miss.  I attended a celebration at the store in July and these folks know how to throw a party! There will be entertainment, one-day only experiences, limited edition products, food, and more inside the store and on the plaza at Rockefeller Center.
