Car Rental New York and FAO Schwarz

FAO Schwarz began enthralling children with fine-crafted toys beginning in 1862. Founder, Frederick August Otto Schwarz, a Westphalian goldsmith's son, started importing toys from Europe and sold them through his Baltimore-based fancy-good shop. In 1870, the Schwarz Toy Bazaar was opened on Broadway in lower Manhattan. Throughout the years, the chain of stores developed and many more began opening up all throughout the United States including Las Vegas in 1997. This is a must-see during your trip in your car rental New York!

More than a Toy Store

Once you park your car rental New York, you will be amazed at how much there is to see and do here. This is not just a toy store- it's an experience. As you walk in to FAO Schwarz, the famous three-story clock tower greets you by singing "Welcome to Our World of Toys." There is an extravaganza of toys laid out on two floors. At the Fifth Avenue entrance, Bobby the Toy Soldier will greet you. Bring along your camera in your car rental New York as you are welcome to pose with these larger than life toys!

The Opening Ceremony invites car rental New York travellers to participate in a "magical experience". You can perform on the Dance-On-Piano, like Tom Hanks did in the movie Big. There is also story time, toy demonstrations, a Motion Simulator, fantasy characters, and treats.

As you make your way down to the lower level there is a Rec Room with tons of fun equipment. Staff members will show you how to use the skateboards, scooters, go-karts, and so much more.

For girls, there is an entire Barbie department all in pink, and an extraordinary doll collection. The Collectables section has rare figurines, chess sets, jewellery, and much more.

Don't miss out on the large selection of books that the Book Monster holds with a special section just for Dr. Seuss! You can go home with enough reading in your car rental New York to last a while.

Accessorize & Decorate

Not only can you pick up great toys to accessorize any child's bedroom, but you can also find great kid-friendly furniture! You'll find fine country wooden furniture, rocking chairs, meadow beanbags or swing chairs for your child. You can even find playhouses for them.

Grab A Treat

With so much excitement to be had, take some time out and grab a sweet treat at the candy store where you can choose from premium ice creams, pastries, milkshakes, floats, and candy!

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit the store in on weekdays in the morning or early afternoon. If you must go on a weekend, the earlier in the day, the less crowded. If you would like, a personal shopper is a free and you don't need an appointment. If you are from out of town, and would like to save some room in your car rental New York, you can have your purchases sent home or to your hotel.
