iBestTravel is offering one lucky family the chance to spend the night at FAO Schwarz in New York City. This Christmas, the doors to the world’s most famous toy store will open especially for them, where they will enjoy a festive sleepover like no other, and iBestTravel will cover the cost of an FAO Schwarz shopping spree.
Ever since Tom Hanks danced across the illuminated keyboard in the movie Big, and Macaulay Culkin arrived in a limousine in Home Alone 2, children around the globe have been captivated by FAO Schwarz, the iconic toy wonderland that also serves as a top New York City attraction. Consequently, now one fortunate family will have the opportunity to spend the night in FAO Schwarz with iBestTravel during the holiday season.
The festive family experience includes a guided tour of the store led by an FAO Schwarz toy soldier, allowing guests to engage with various games, puzzles, and toys throughout the night. Moreover, children will have the opportunity to build a plush toy or customize their own race car in the ‘pit crew’ area, creating an exciting racing competition down the aisles. What’s more, guests will feel like kids in a candy store with a holiday shopping spree at FAO Schwarz funded by iBestTravel.
Later, the entire family will participate in an immersive science experiment led by FAO Schwarz’s in-house professor. Following this, they can emulate Tom Hanks’ iconic dance on the “Big piano” and relax by the fireplace in the festive living room, enjoying breathtaking views of the Rockefeller Christmas tree right outside their window. They will savor a traditional Christmas meal in the dining room, and at night, they will cozy up in the bedroom, featuring bunk beds with slides for the kids and a sleigh bed for the adults.
The FAO Schwarz experience is open exclusively to New Yorkers due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Reservations open on December 15 at 12 noon EST here. The cost of this extraordinary experience is $25. The date for the sleepover will be announced shortly.
