Not 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 ☺

Great 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!

The display could be better curated and more interactive. The board game exhibition was the saving grace.

Grown-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
