In Singapore and Malaysia, Toys”R”Us Asia is pushing boundaries with its Toy+Play concept.

The recently renovated flagship store at Mid Valley Megamall now also features the first-ever Kiztopia playground in the country. This Toy+Play concept seamlessly combines shopping and interactive play in one dynamic environment, providing families with new ways to engage with toys.
In Hong Kong, Toys”R”Us strategically partners with K11 Group to tap into the trendsetting power of new generations.
