These videos bring back so many memories . Although I was a Children’s Palace kid in the end it was all the same Child World / Children’s Palace. Although the magic of once was can not every captured again I can say that after a better part of a decade of working out a plan to bring Child’s Palace back some how , some way . In 2022 to mark the 30th anniversary of the closing of Children’s Palace my dreams came true . Of course this was not breaking news, it was done quietly. Just a single Children’s Palace pop-up location for the holiday shopping season in Dayton, Ohio. At just over 1,200 square feet we opened on October 11th.We had no castle, no turrets. All we hag was grid wall, a love of nostalgia for Children’s Palace and for toys.
And this past Christmas we were able to go from a single pop-up Children’s Palace to three locations.Again these were not the Children’s Palaces of grand scale. The three stores were about 4,200 square each. I hope with these success of the seasonal stores we can carry on to new , bigger and better things for Children’s Palace in 2024. As the Children’s Palace brand turns 55 a new year will be one to remember.
