Sad Experience - Not the FAO Schwarz of Old
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/11/2006 Posted by reggiebomb33

I haven't been to FAO Schwarz since they remodled it. Let me assure you that this isn't the famous FAO Schwarz that everyone loved. Now, sadly, it's more like a Wal-Mart. Gone are all the very creative theme rooms for the Star Wars and Barbie toys. They have been replaced by sterile white walls. They took out the giant robot elevator. After FAO Schwarz went bankrupt and then remodled, they clearly cut back expenses on all the things that made it magical. I highly recommend you don't waste your time. It pains me to say it, but go to Toys R Us in times square. You'll be better off.

Pros: toys, giant stuffed animals

Cons: no creativity, sterile, like Wal-Mart
