The Chicago Toy & Game Fair is the only toy and game fair open to the public. Every Fall we invite the public to join us for at least two whole days of previewing and playing the latest hottest product releases in the toy & game industry. They come to be dazzled and enchanted. They come to learn and explore. They come to mingle and participate in a community event. Most of all they come to have fun!
