    The children inside were having a great day playing with toys that were new to them. Some of the features of the original building are kept in view, and the toys are grouped together in different rooms on different floors. It's very well thought out, exciting and memorable.👍🕵️

    Great museum and it's way bigger inside than that it looks from the outside. The whole structure is very interesting, architecture wise.

    This is a great place to visit with kids or even adults who want a bit of childhood nostalgia. It is a smallish museum that covers a few different floors over two adjoining buildings so you go up one side then down the other. Lots of toys to look at and a few you can play with. It was a quick visit for me using the Dutch museumkaart.

    I'm not sure the kids will enjoy the visit as much as you believe they will... if there's inclement weather this is the ticket. If there's shine there's better things for your time. But yes I enjoyed it.

    A nice place to bring the kids on a rainy day. Lots of toys to see and play with. Several floors of exhibits take you through different generations of toys, from doll houses to optical illusions. Several hours of fun.

    (Translated by Google) Was a nice museum unfortunately they had no playmobile our daughter of 13 was very sorry because said has played with so much with playmobiel. But it was nice to see the toys that I played with as a small child there. You are approximately 1 hour inside. With small children longer because they can really play with lego or wooden blocks and also thought colors. (Original) Was een leuke museum helaas hadden ze geen playmobiel onze dochter van 13 vond erg jammer omdat zei juist met zoveel met playmobiel heeft gespeeld. Maar wel leuk de speelgoed waar ik als klein kind mee gespeeld was daar te zien. Je bent ongeveer 1 uurtje binnen. Met kleine kinderen langer omdat ze daar ook echt kunnen spelen met lego of houtenblokken en dacht ook kleuren.

    One of the best toy museums with historical background and objects as well. The materials were properly displayed and maintained ... for us (milennial parents) are somewhat memorable and have the feeling of "back to the past". Our favorite spot is the machinery room while our 5yo daughter is everything 😬.

  • 4/5 Roberto E. 5 years ago on Google
    The tour can last for one hour, after that you can stay playing in the atic where they have many Legos and Kaplan. We were lucky to have a brief presentation of different old toys given by a very kind woman.

  • 4/5 Harry 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It would be a real shame if this unique museum did not continue to exist in its current setting. Nice to go with the kids afterwards (Original) Het zou echt zonde zijn als dit unieke museum niet in zijn huidige setting blijft bestaan. Leuk om met de kids nasr toe te gaan

  • 5/5 Ilja C. 1 year ago on Google
    Greatly modernized exhibits, super interactieve and lots to see and do. Many new memories for young kids and old memories for older (adult) kids.

  • 4/5 Herma van W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fun, educational and cheap outing with children. They had a great time 4 years ago and now again. (Original) Leuk, leerzaam en goedkoop uitje met kinderen. Ze vermaakten zich 4 jaar geleden prima en nu weer.

  • 3/5 Pannekoek S. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be more fun for adults and boring for kids, now mostly interactive and focused on kids. Busy on the weekends.

  • 5/5 Nainunis Aulia I. 1 year ago on Google
    Big toy museum both for kids and adults.

  • 5/5 Iwein F. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a perfect compact museum for kids. The surrounding area is nice too. Sometimes there's free play with traditional toys on the market square 50m away

  • 5/5 Belit R. 2 years ago on Google
    Kids have the most fun but it's a nice place to visit.

  • 5/5 Mijndert D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful collection of toys (Original) Prachtige verzameling speelgoed

  • 4/5 Wayne C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun museum with good nostalgia value Lots of steep steps to negotiate. For English speakers there's an English audio guide but all the interesting boards are in Dutch so Google Translate is your friend.

  • 5/5 Hanaell 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! I highly recommend going with children, because it is impossible to enter there without children! Especially the room with the mechanical toys! And Lego! And "soap bubbles"!

  • 5/5 Dylan H. 1 year ago on Google
    We needed to burn a couple hours and this was THE perfect dot for it kiddos! Friendly staff too!

  • 5/5 Laura H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute little and well take care museum. I'll say it's for young and old, toys from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. But still very interactive for kids. You can take an audio for free but all the information is on the boards. There's lego, Kapla, wooden blocks to make your own creations, a little train of wood for the youngest ones. Museum subscriptores can get it with their Museum card and kid's under 3 are free charge. The only little thing we missed was a little coffee corner or restaurant since at the end you can get some one but you need to sit on top of the heather's next to the entrance to enjoy it. And for people with knees or back issues need to take into consideration there's no elevator, so they'll need to take the stairs (4 floors in total). We did have a great day to remember.

  • 4/5 Taya W. 8 months ago on Google
    We have been to this museum one year ago and now, unfortunately nothing has changed at all. So it's a place for one visit only. Other than that it is fun and interesting for kids and adults.

  • 5/5 Ihab S. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful toy museum that introduces our kids to how we spent our time as kids.

  • 4/5 Gwenn E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice, small museum. Good combination of exhibits, interactive setups for kids and information displays. Well organised route through the historic building. No shop, really. An enjoyable experience.

  • 4/5 Ironhide 1. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place that's bigger then expected. As they rely on donations, it's not really a timeline of toys through the years, but still interesting. And fun to be reminded of the toys you had as a kid :)

  • 4/5 Luis Barros F. 10 months ago on Google
    Really nice place to bring back some memories or bring the kids to a fun place with a lot of history

  • 5/5 Erwin C. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice museum. Specially for children but also for the adults. Good collection toys and games. Very nice and old building too.

  • 5/5 Eran M. 6 months ago on Google
    A very fun experience for children & adults.

  • 4/5 Ido I. 5 months ago on Google
    Very nice for about two hours with kids. My 4yo enjoyed it a lot. Better ventilation is needed in some areas, it's an old building and in some rooms with other people it felt stuffy.

  • 4/5 Ihab S. 5 months ago on Google
    I love the toy museum I keep bringing my children. Personally I think they should be some volunteers too bring it more to life. Why not a Muppet show, a class of building blocks. There is a lot of space for improvement.

  • 5/5 Tycho S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Fun for old and young. Experience some nostalgia by seeing and using toys/games from your younger years.

  • 4/5 Jonas R. 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) A nice museum with games from the past. Also hands on, you can try things out. Nice treasure hunt for children. A.o. Dollhouses, spinner scopes, car rides and other things. You can play board games yourself. There is a large set-up of model trains. (Original) Een leuk museum met spellen van vroeger. Ook hands on, kunt dingen uitproberen. Leuke speurtocht voor kinderen.

  • 4/5 Paul V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice, cozy museum.

(Original) Leuk, gezellig museum. Voor de kinderen (en speelgrage volwassenen) is er speelgoed uit verschillende jaren om mee te spelen en voor volwassenen is er genoeg sentimenteels te zien om je 1 à 2 uur te vermaken.

  • 3/5 Marcel K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small museum where toys from old and new times are exhibited. There were beautiful dollhouses. There were also viewing boxes. Unfortunately, they were set too low and not always well lit. This museum cannot be viewed by wheelchair or walker users (Original) Een klein museum waar speelgoed van oude en nieuwe tijd word tentoongesteld. Er waren mooie poppenhuizen. Er waren ook kijkdozen. Helaas waren die te laag opgesteld en niet altijd goed verlicht. Dit museum is niet te bekijken voor rolstoel of rollator gebruikers

  • 5/5 Mieke Z. 4 years ago on Google

My 3 year old daughter enjoyed it and we were sweet all afternoon. Highly recommended! (Original) Ik was verbaasd dat we het museum voor ons zelf hadden. Prachtig museum met heel veel speelgoed voor de kinderen ook om mee te spelen. In elke ruimte was wel iets. Mn 3 jarige dochter heeft genoten en we waren de hele middag zoet. Echte aanrader!

  • 4/5 Stefan G. 4 years ago on Google

For the kids they have also made the tour interactive. (Original) Leuk speelgoed van vroeger en nu je ziet er een mooie evolutie van de tol tot PlayStation. Er staan ook mooie poppenhuizen. Wel eens de moeite waard. Voor de kids hebben ze de toer ook interactief gemaakt.

    Too bad the collection is rarely updated. But it is a nice little museum. Especially the section on early imagery and films is worth the visit.

  • 4/5 Kees van der M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small but nice and uncluttered museum. Don't forget to take a good look inside the building itself. The attic in particular is worth the effort. (Original) Klein maar leuk en overzichtelijk museum. Vergeet niet om ook het pand zelf van binnen goed te bekijken. Met name de zolder is de moeite waard.

  • 4/5 Thea B. 4 years ago on Google
