Definitely worth visiting! Nice place with variety of exquisite collections, including dolls house, board games, mechanical toys and others. There are historical descriptions of their toy collections, which age more than 100 years. Really interesting and fascinating!

This was a fascinating museum to visit with my friend, where we entered past a large policeman doll and were welcomed by a very friendly staff member for a price of only £3.50! Downstairs has many interesting toys on show, including houses, mini railways and amusement areas, the latter of which featured a replica fairground that was activatable via a token that the staff member gave us. The fairground was amusing and finding our way upstairs was easy via the signs, accompanied by frames along the way that displayed numerous toys. In the area, we enjoyed looking at the board games, film memorabilia, toy animals and bears - the last one really felt nostalgic since I remembered seeing these as a little kid here!

Loved it! We didn't have children with us, but could still appreciate this lovingly created museum for the nostalgia & memories it brought back. The dolls' houses are amazing - some old & rare. This is privately run - thank goodness for people like this who share their passions. Not a rip-off entry fee, either.

Haven’t been in about a decade since I was a kid, but if nothings changed it should still make for a nice day out. The staff were friendly and accommodating plus there’s alot to see. Must admit its probably best (obviously) for quite young kids. From what I remember there’s also some interactive displays which kept me occupied for far too long as a child.

What a fascinating place! While it's small, there's a lot packed into the three rooms, and the information given about the toys is presented in a really interesting way. You're also given a quiz sheet to fill in as you go round (different ones depending on whether you're a little or big kid!) which adds to the fun. The top floor isn't wheelchair accessible because of the nature of the building, but entrance is free to wheelchair users. A real hidden gem, and well worth a visit.
