Lights out at Times Square retail landmark
The Ferris Wheel in the Toys “R” Us’ Times Square flagship has had its last go round.
The 110,000-sq.-ft., four- level megastore shut its doors forever at 6 p.m., Wednesday, December 30, 2015.
Toys “R” Us Times Square opened in fall 2001, complete with a 60-ft.-tall Ferris wheel, a life-sized Barbie dream house, a giant animatronic T-Rex and other attention-getting attractions.
The retailer, which opted not to renew its pricey Times Square lease, is looking for another location in Manhattan.
