Toy & Miniature Museum Stellenbosch

The Toy and Miniature Museum in Stellenbosch is a lovely hidden gem. The displays are detailed and nostalgic, the museum is spotless and well maintained, and the collection is fascinating for all ages. Definitely worth a visit.

nice, small museum. Good for a change in Stellenbosch

beautiful museum, great history! ticket costs 40Rands! I wouldn't recommend it for small children, but it would be interesting for those who are already of school age from 6 years old, but not for younger ones! but that museum is impressive, I had never seen anything like it in Europe!

Very friendly lady greeted us and we shared some childhood stories. Truly enjoyed the constructed doll house scenes from different background, class and nationalities. Large collection of Dinky toy cars... Was amazing to see. This is like travelling back in time moments for the older generations or if you want to show your kids how toys started out.

Nice visit for kids and adults alike. Needs a bit of TLC but still worth the visit at R20pp.

Very interesting and kinda creepy. Heehee. The doll houses are magnificent. Make sure you have a R5 on hand to activate the trainset. Definitely worth it. Loved every minute of it.

The Toy & Miniature Museum Stellenbosch was established in 1984 by Annatjie and Koos Malan and showcases a massive collection of dolls, cars, trains and other toys. The museum is surprisingly large inside and it’s also in part a history of toys. Some of the toys are donations and to be fair, some of the dolls faces do give off a freaky vibe. But it’s a magical place and Mishka was especially helpful not only in explaining the museum, but also guiding a tourist to other museums in the area. If you are a wheelchair, navigating the museum might prove difficult. The highlight is definitely the working train set. You can watch it go for a nominal amount.

The moment you step over the threshold you're back in time. Beautiful display of toys out of another era. From dollhouses, miniatures, amazing collection of dinky cars... Lovely collection of dolls and an impressive train track miniature model. Nice grounds to enjoy a picnic after your visit 🌷
