Toys“R”Us is finally making its much-awaited comeback: the chain will return to New York City as an in-store shop at Macy's Herald Square on Friday, October 14. 

Lest you think the new destination to be more of a stand inside the world-renowned flagship department store than a full-fledged operation, think again: the Toys”R”Us is taking over 14,000 square feet of the seventh floor, "offering playful and colorful fixtures, as well as hands-on demonstration tables for customers to interact with various must-have toys," reads an official press release.

The experience will also include an interactive play space for kids and a life-size "Geoffrey in a Taxi" photo op.
