Does anyone know where there is a two-story Toys R Us? My wife and I seem to recall being in one, but we cannot recall where it might have been. It is really bugging us. (Maybe we’re imaging it?) We were not in NYC nor Las Vegas. Could it have been Orlando? This will drive us insane!

I think the one that used to be in downtown San Francisco was two stories, but it’s been closed for a few years.

There was also one in downtown Chicago (on State Street). It, too, has been closed for a number of years.

There’s a 60 foot Ferris Wheel in the Manhattan Toys R Us, so yeah, there’s a two story one.

The one in Manhattan is actually four stories. And the OP said he wasn’t in New York.

Dallas has at least one that’s 2 stories.

There was a Toys R Us in Langley Park, MD that closed 20 years ago. I had never actually gone into the Toys R Us there, but the 3-story building has been there since the '50s and is not on that big a footprint so I would assume that the Toys R Us occupied at least 2 floors.

Toys R Us offers a two-story Barbie dream house. Perhaps that’s what the OP is remembering.
