Toy Fair New York, the trade only show for the toy and play industry run by The Toy Association, holds its 121st edition at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from Saturday 20 to Tuesday 23 February 2027. The organiser calls it the largest toy show in the Western Hemisphere, and its wrap up of the 2026 show reported more than 720 exhibiting companies, all of the top 25 US toy retailers and participants from 97 countries. Buyers, licensors, inventors and press spend four long days in halls on Manhattan's far West Side, so the base you choose shapes every morning. Hudson Yards is closest to the halls, Hell's Kitchen and the rest of Midtown West are within walking distance, and hotels around Times Square are one stop away on the 7 train. This page shows live New York hotel rates for the fair dates, which you can change if you arrive for the Toy of the Year Awards on Friday 19 February or stay on after the show.

How do you get to Toy Fair New York?
From JFK Airport
- AirTrain JFK runs from the terminals to Jamaica station, where you change to the Long Island Rail Road or the subway; the AirTrain fare is US$8.75 each way

- From Grand Central the 7 train runs direct to 34 St-Hudson Yards, the closest station to the Javits
- Taxis, ride apps and shared Uber Shuttle routes to Midtown also leave from JFK; journey times by road depend heavily on traffic
From Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA)

How do you get around during Toy Fair New York?
Getting to the Javits Center daily
- The 7 train's 34 St-Hudson Yards station is the closest stop, and the Javits Center describes it as just a 5 minute walk from the halls
- From Times Square it is one stop west on the 7 train; the venue calls the subway the fastest and most reliable option during major events
- MTA buses serving the Javits area include the M34 and M34-SBS, M42, M50, M12 and M11
- Main entrances are on 11th Avenue between 35th and 39th Streets; Toy Fair says the Javits has no parking of its own, so leave the car at the hotel
Around New York
- Tap in on subways and buses with a contactless card, phone or OMNY card, so there is no ticket to buy
- The Javits Center says it is easily walkable from hotels in Hudson Yards and Midtown Manhattan, which includes Hell's Kitchen
- NY Waterway ferries from New Jersey stop near Midtown West, and the venue says the halls are a short walk or bus ride from the terminal
- The Toy of the Year Awards on Friday 19 February 2027 are at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers, so Chelsea or Hudson Yards suits anyone going to both
