    Very rude person work there, if you want to shoot photos, you have to pay 25 pln and you will have right to shoot ONLY 10 PHOTOS!!!. You can finish entire visit in three minutes

    The museum itself is cool, but they charge 25 zloty to take pictures, and even then you can only take 10 pictures. I get that they want to keep people from seeing it on the internet, but as an artist I found that really frustrating (I wish I could take pictures to use as references later). They could at least let you take as many pictures as you like for the 8 zloty entrance PLUS the 25 zloty picture fee.

    Crowded and orderly displays of old and very old toys, in a rather small space

    Huge collection of toys original and with boxes, saw some of the toys I had as child and that was so Cool. Small but packed with toys, railway toys, pedal cars etc. No Photo allowed inside.

    Small toy gallery but worth the visit for 8/6 zloty. Found some really nice poster to buy for the home as well.

    A lot of items to see, hudge collection covering most of toys had been avalible during comunism time, so may be somehow unusual for people from the other side of the wall. You can also buy some of the old school toys. For unknown reason you can’t take pictures and you’re warn of CCTV which is Not a pleasent welcome. Worth to see I think.

    Small but nice museum. To bad we couldn’t take pictures. Would be nice to show my father all the old toys he might have played with.

    Great little museum with lovely old toys, nicely displayed. What a shame to have such an odd restriction to have to pay 25 pln to take photos and then only be allowed to take 10! As the museum does NOT appear on listings of places to see in Gdansk, it seems short sighted not to allow normal photography. Nowadays photos on Instagram would give them instant free publicity getting many more interested customers. In London now, practically all galleries allow photos as they realise it gets more people interested.

    Small but well planned out and decorated. No photos allowed.

    Store and exhibition concentrate on old Polish toys. It's worth a visit but they charge extra for an ability to take photos which is bizarre.

  • 3/5 Alexander A. 7 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Nice museum but it is not allowed to take photos which is weird and disappointing.

  • 5/5 A V A. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice experience! I very happy I visited it! Any toy lover will appreciate it

  • 3/5 Adam G. 9 months ago on Google
    Brilliant collection (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐), completely ridiculous idea to ban taking photographs (zero stars for that).

  • 5/5 julie k. 10 months ago on Google
    An interesting range of toys from various times - definitely worth a visit

  • 4/5 Daiva T. 1 year ago on Google
    No photos allowed in museum... Small museum with a load of old toys. Fun for parents to tell which toys they played in childhood ☺️

  • 3/5 Patryk P. 4 years ago on Google
    Many old and beautiful toys, all behind glass or unreachable.

  • 3/5 Sherif M. 5 years ago on Google
    I didn't see the internal museum but seems too small and didn't attract me from outside. But the toys they have outside to buy are nice, yet, but expensive.

  • 4/5 Lesley M. 5 years ago on Google
    Tiny museum, but the displays are packed with old toys. There is a photography restriction, probably sensibly, as the area is so small and some of the older plastics are very likely to be light sensitive.

  • 5/5 Olga B. 4 years ago on Google
    My childhood memories came alive. It's nice to show and share with children my memories.

  • 5/5 Wiktoria J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place. Event though it's a small space they have thousands of old polish toys.
