I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid! If that jingle is already ringing in your head, you’re not alone! I definitely remember when it seemed like there was one of those massive toy stores in almost every large town, but eventually, they went away and the company declared bankruptcy. However, the beloved chain – and its giraffe mascot – are making a comeback! There are only a few locations in the Garden State right now, but one massive Toys R Us in New Jersey will take you right back to your childhood. This two-story toy emporium is located in the American Dream mega-mall in East Rutherford, and it has just about anything you could want for a kid you know – or for your inner child! And wait until you see how some lucky kids are getting from floor to floor.

Toys R Us had its grand opening in American Dream last year, and this is a toy store unlike any other.
