I'm looking for airports with great toy stores - both for taking my kids when they travel with me, but mostly for picking up presents for them when I'm on business travel alone.

Some of my personal favorites are:

1. Mind Works - at various airports, but my kids liked the one at CLT.
2. Field Museum store - Outside the big dinosaur skeleton in the UA terminal at ORD. It's small, but lots of good items to buy.
3. Smithsonian store - At IAD and DCA. You can't beat the astronaut ice cream!
4. Disney store - In Orlando .. how can anywhere else compete?

Any others?

TPE - Hello Kitty Store
IAH - NASA store (term E and C)
DET - though I can't remember the name - will check the next time I'm there
EWR had a great science store I found some great stuff at - will get the name next time I'm there (it may have been Mind Works)

I'll be on the lookout to add to this post - great OP!

Hong Kong is one of the best airports I've ever been in for shopping. The Disney store there has the cheapest Disney merchandie I've seen apart from at HK Disney!


CVG also had some great kids shops if I remember correctly.

Hong Kong is a shopping mall with a landing strip on top.

I second this. I recently purchased a number of items for my 3 & 1 year old boys at CVG. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the store.

Good call... It's called Creative Kidstuff.

While no HKG for shopping prowess, NRT has a nice Hakuhinkan Toy Park (http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/guide/rest_shop/shop/floor_list/shop_page/t1_2_14_hakuh.html) location with neat gifts for all ages. Good for picking up (Hot Wheel-sized) Tomica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomica) models of Toyota Prius and other "everyday" cars!
