About

Overview

Macy's Herald Square is the flagship store of the Macy's department store chain, located on 34th Street in Manhattan. Known as "The World's Largest Store," it covers an entire city block and is a historic retail landmark.

Highlights

The store features the original wooden escalators, which are still in operation. It is the endpoint of the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and hosts the spectacular Santaland during the holidays and the Flower Show in spring.

Things to Do

Shop for fashion, home goods, and cosmetics across 11 floors (including the mezzanine). Visit the Visitor Center for a 10% off savings pass (for domestic and international tourists). Dine at one of the in-store restaurants.

Best Time to Visit

Weekdays mornings are less crowded. The holiday season (November-December) is magical but very busy. The Flower Show in late March/early April is a colorful visual treat.

Accessibility / Entry

The store is fully accessible with elevators serving all floors. Entrances are located on Broadway, 7th Avenue, 34th Street, and 35th Street. Service animals are welcome.

Facilities

Amenities include multiple restaurants (like Stella 34 Trattoria), restrooms, a coat check, personal shopper services, and a visitor center on the mezzanine level.

Tips

Don't miss the wooden escalators on the upper floors. Download the Macy's app for maps and deals. During the holidays, book a reservation for Santaland well in advance.
