Toy Museum

We went to toy museum with our 3y old son, who totally enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot myself. We spent around 2.5h in total. There are 3 levels with all kind of toys. The last level is full of some games that was most fun. Price for adults is reasonable. while the boy didn’t have to pay. Totally worth both money and time.

This museum is great. All kinds of toys make people go back to childhood. Although there are so many toys, there is actually no shop to sell them. I have to say that it protects parents' wallets very well. The children's play area on the third floor is also very good. I will come again.

Great museum with a lot to see, definitely worth the price, especially with the student discount. It features some interesting exhibitions on toys through the ages, with some focus on the local history of toy production as well as the history of the museum itself. There's also a small part on racist toys which I found insightful and which could have been larger. The top floor has an interactive bit where you can play some games. They are a bit dated and primarily for kids, but the magnetic "air hockey" is cool for all ages :)

Even though we’re adults, we enjoyed this museum like kids! There are toys of all kinds, from different historical periods. The museum is large, spread over three floors. On the top floor, there’s an area where you can actually play. We had so much fun! We didn’t pay for a ticket — it was donation-based.

The toy museum pleasantly surprised us with its large collection of both old and more recent toys. The exhibits are beautiful and thoughtfully displayed. It’s also suitable for younger children, thanks to interactive zones where they can engage with the displays. At the end of the tour, there’s a playroom with various board games for kids. A great idea for a family outing – perfect even on a rainy day!

We took our 15 month old here (basically just to kill some time) and the museum portion was definitely out of his age range, but the top floor had a good size playroom that he enjoyed for a couple hours. The train display was neat

A lot of German toys. I love those kitchen ones. Not expensive ticket. Free toilet.

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.

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.
