American Girl Place

111 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago

609 Fifth Avenue at 49th Street, New York

Number for AG Place

There are currently three American Girl Places located in: Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles (opening Spring 2006). All have American Girl merchandise, a cafe, and a theatre. I have been to the Chicago AG Place a handful of times, and the New York AG Place twice. I'll try to list all the differences that I remember. I apologize for not having any New York pictures, but it was very crowded when I went and taking pictures wasn't a possibility.

There are three floors to AG Place Chicago. On the lower level, you'll find the AG historical collection and theater. The AG mini's section used to be down there until it was retired. Kaya, Josefina, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Kit, and Molly's entire collections are displayed behind glass. Felicity is back by popular demand and has a new window!

To purchase an item, you take the ticket located underneath the item and bring it up to the register, and then they go in the back room and get it for you.

There are also life-size windows assigned to each character where you can look inside and see what a scene in their life would have looked like. These scenes change depending on what season it is.

These are pictures from Josefina's window. The first picture is her weaving loom from the spring. The second picture is from summer and features a ladder (thanks to Joy for this picture). The third picture is the Christmas display and features her table (thanks to Siobhan for this picture). The fourth picture is from the fall and features her writing desk (thanks to Joy for this picture).

Near the theatre entrance, there is a display of illustrations and paintings from the American Girls Collection book series.
