FAO Schwarz fans rejoice! The iconic toy store will be moving into Rockefeller Center this November. What better way to brighten up your holiday season than spending a few hours acting like a kid in a toy shop?

Because we are such big fans we were devastated when FAO Schwarz closed in July 2015. I grew up going window shopping there every November to help make my Christmas list for Santa. I began taking my son there for story time and to visit their amazing selection of stuffed animals. Over the years we attended a Star Wars themed birthday party there and marched through the store on parade. The day we visited FAO for the last time I hid behind my sunglasses to hide my tears. Its been three long years but we never gave up hope that someday our favorite store would return.

FAO will “Return to Wonder” in November during the holiday season. We don’t have an exact date yet but we will keep you posted. One thing that we can guarantee is that the return to New York City will be BIG, and the Roc Center location will be filled with a ton of happy faces.
