I took my son to FAO Schwarz yesterday - it's a famous toy store in NYC. It was cold and I thought he could have fun playing there for a while. What was I thinking? I couldn't get him to leave! He passed out on the way home because he was so tired. I think the candy room was his favorite part...and I even got him to leave without buying any candy (we did buy some crayons)!
It's a fun place if you're ever in NYC - it's just very overpriced. Remember the piano from the movie Big? My son spent 30 minutes on it. It's a bargain if you want to take it home. Only $250,000.00!. Yes, that comma is in the right place. LOL.
Re: What is your LO's happiest place on earth?
I was thinking about taking ds there this summer. Is there one in Arizona? The only one I know of is in Pennsylvania. I think my son would love the rides if he's old enough for them. I'm just not sure about the characters themselves. Last year we went to a place with Thomas the Train - which he loves. He was terrified of Mr. Toppin Hat! It's a lot of money to have my son terrified of Elmo and Big Bird. But I've heard great things about Sesame Place so I want to go - with- or without my son- LOL!
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
Jill - We went to PA! (My family lives in OH, so it's not as crazy as it seems.)
DD is definitely afraid of the characters - she loves to admire them from afar, but she will *not* touch/interact with them. Even for a kid who is not a huge Sesame fan, it is very fun. The park is about half water rides (unfortunately, it was cold on the day we brought bathing suits, but we did a few). There are no limits on the rides (maybe some of the water rides - we couldn't go on all of them because it was cold/lightning). My DD had a *wonderful* time and we're going to try and go again this year. She rode the biggest coaster 9 times! The lines were very minimal, especially once they opened the water rides (at noon). I'd definitely recommend it! We went for 2 days last time and we'll probably do that again.
