Natalie ParchmentMarch 1, 2013Great place to visit for a bit of nostalgia, there's lots of toys from different eras, you probably remember playing with as a kid. Lots of interactive things to do. A great day out and for free!
Nuray ÇangaNovember 13, 2019Free admission, high variety activities for under-5. Just book online in advance. Especially interesting playing areas at 2. floor such sandpit are perfect for younger kids
Leiliane ValadaresMay 5, 2017Free entrance, a good toy collection! Great for children, since they have activities for them.
Jah RahmanFebruary 20, 2020Good museum to spend time with the kids going over the history of toys. Has an old sense about it but good activities found within.
PamelaMay 4, 2015Quite a kitschy but a nice walk down memory lane. Try not to go on public holidays - kids galore (as one would expect!). Nice sit down café on ground floor.
- Erica P.March 31, 2016Go back to your childhood here! The doll houses are the best part! Oh, and you can see old board games!
Evening StandardMay 14, 2012Grown-ups can enjoy reminiscing over old Action Men and Sylvanian families, or admire the historic objects such as a wooden paddle doll dating back to 1,300 BC. Read more
Jessica AnsaldiOctober 27, 2016The display could be better curated and more interactive. The board game exhibition was the saving grace.
Derryck BAugust 30, 2014Free Wifi but didn't connect well for me. Great selection of kids toys from through the ages.
Yiota PapMarch 5, 2017Not sure what made me feel older: seeing objects and games from my childhood as exhibits or seeing Harry Potter games as exhibits??? Nevertheless it's a great museum ☺
Andres SchondubeJuly 25, 2016Museum intended for kids, tho there's interesting things to see, if you're around check it out.
Bianca NgAugust 21, 2016Blast from the past! Fun for children and adults. It was interesting to see the evolution of toys.
Tim EganApril 29, 2015Can easily do this one in an afternoon. Some activities for the kids, lots of memories for the grownups.
Arman KushniyanAugust 15, 2014Wonderful experience for both parents and children alive. A blast from the past.
James GoochMarch 19, 2017Very interesting collection and had a much needed lesson in how to lose board games with grace.
LoulabelleOctober 4, 2014Lovely free museum. Cafe is expensive. Jacqueline Wilson exhibition is great!
