FAO Schwarz
FAO Schwarz has come to Dublin!
The famous New York toy store opened in the basement of Arnotts this morning.
The new location marks the second European store for the Schwarz franchise, the other being at Selfridges in London, which opened on 22nd October this year.
FAO Schwarz takes up 6,000 square feet at the Henry Street department store.
It boasts all the favourite elements of the flagship location including the much-loved music clock tower and the walk-on piano!
The shop is packed with popular brands including Lego, Playmobil and Bunnies by the Bay.
And there are plenty of memorable experiences to be had at the Discovery section, the Baby Doll Adoption Centre and the Build Your Own Race Car station.
For those with a sweet tooth the FAO Schweetz shop is serving up cups of pick-and-mix.
There are also giant gummy bears, jelly toy soldiers, chocolate clock face coins and chocolate keyboards.
