Toy Museum

The toy museum was fun. It had four floors of interactive exhibits and antiques. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of toys over time. As an avid D&D player, I especially enjoyed the tin soldiers. It closes early though (5 PM). I would recommend arriving at 2 PM or earlier to see everything- especially if you have little ones.

Loved it! I went there because my son wanted to, but I had a great time myself :) A lot of beautiful exibits, I loved the old toy houses, they were incredible. Be prepared for at least an hour, or more if you want to read all the stories (which are also interesting). Really great time, not only for children.

Good location, very easy to find! Very friendly personnel, lots of interesting toys from different times on display. Very amusing and educational, a definite must for visitors to Nürnberg 😊👍

A museum where you can have a good time and especially if you have children, it will attract their attention. You don't need to buy a ticket in advance, it is usually comfortable. There is an area on the top floor where children can play. We think it is a museum that should be visited in Nuremberg. The train collection in particular should not be missed.

it might be the cutest place i’ve ever visited. it’s totally a must when you come to nürnberg. it also has a few interactive parts. perfectly designed and takes hours to complete.

Just sn Amazing Museum. Lots of vintage toys. It's the kind of museum that just brings a smile to your face....

Surprising fun! Enjoyed walking through each floor and marveling at the level of detail in some of the older toys. This is a good place for kids and adults. Top floor has a play area and there's an attached cafe as well.

Beautiful museum, but very rude worker who had zero customer service skills and acted very entitled! I hope that management will hold her accountable so that she doesn’t negatively taint any more people’s experiences, as well as the wonderful toy exhibits displayed. The face of a company matters, and this woman’s bad attitude unfortunately left a very poor impression for this museum. 👎🏼

This is an interesting little museum if you are into toys and the history of toys making. Seeing how well preserved all these toys are us pretty incredible. The museums are cheap around Nuremberg and if you add on the 3€ you can go to many in a day. The kids play area was great, lots of wooden toy options and the outside area to play was also awesome. The only downside is it isn't super interesting or interactive for kids

What a delightful museum, with extensive displays of childhood treasures from Germany, all of Europe and around the world - as well as across centuries. Well displayed, and you don't have to have a kid with you to have a great time - just let your inner child explore and admire the history, craftsmanship, skill and imagination that went into creating so many moments of joy. I admired the "Omaha Nebraska" train layout, the "toys over the decades" hallway, and the special exhibit on racially themed dolls and toys. Nurnberg is full of museums that will excite your intellect, and all are worthwhile - but this one will bring a smile to your heart, and memories of long forgotten friends, both human and imaginary, that await rediscovery. I've added a lot of pictures from the many galleries, but particularly liked a quote in the display near the gift shop on the main floor - "Playing keeps us optimistic! Our hope that everything will be all right makes us dare to try again after every failure. With the desire to play we create new opportunities for ourselves every day and save our world from pessimists and cynics" (Brian Sutton-Smith). I didn't expect to be inspired by my visit, but how can one not be inspired and reminded of that time in life when the future was bright, exciting and full of promise - I am glad this museum helps us capture a bit of that again.

A nice little museum depicting the long history of toy manufacturing in Nuremberg. The museum is organized on 4 floors and showcases a wide variety of tin toys, dolls and trains. I found the top floor most interesting and was fascinated by some of the toys from the time around WWII like the nazi dolls and propaganda board games. You can see trains and dolls and many interesting items in about an hour. We paid 6€ entry and 1€ for optional audio guide in English. Unfortunately most of the item tags and signs are only in German but even for a non-German speaker it was an interesting diversion. We were there at opening time-10 am-on a Tuesday and the place was pretty quiet. Worth a visit.

The Toy Museum in Nürnberg is somewhat off the beaten path, but I really wanted to stop by out of curiosity during our trip to Germany. There are items on display that span the last 300 years and range from paper theaters to miniaturized doll houses to toy railroads to electronic gaming consoles. It's a thoughtfully curated museum that also highlights the influence of child development, current events, and the toy industry on toy trends over time. We did really enjoyed our time here!

I wasn't over enthusiastic to visit toys museum. But after visiting I must say I'm amazed. Long history of toys manufacturing and toys exhibiting. In particular I found amazing the little house representations with all the perfect little details. Some toys were 300 years old!

Entrance is EUR 6 for adult. Kids under 15 years old are free. Coffee shop is rip off. No WiFi.

A toy museum, mainly aimed at the older crowd. A lot of antique toys, very well kept and historical. For the kiddies, they have a play room that a parent can keep guard as the others and probably grandparents view the exhibits. Its 5 Euro to get in and well... it should be free. No gift shop but they do have an elevator and lockers. It was my first toy museum, I guess they aren't my thing.

This museum is fun for any age. I went there with my husband and two year old daughter - each of us found this entertaining.

It s a lot smaller than you think. But there s some really cool stuff in there like the most detailed tin soldiers n toys in match stick boxes. Worth a visit if you like toys. You also get admission to a few other museums for the same day.

Lots of stuff to see for old-timers. Okay kids play area, better if you speak German.
