This museum has lots of old kids toys. My brother and I really liked it, but I wish it was bigger so we could have seen more. All in all, it was fun to see what kinds of toys Mexican kids used to play with. More

The toy museum is a unique find--not every city has one, let alone every city in Mexico, and you'll learn a lot about the Mexican culture just by looking at the toys. This is a fabulous collection--everything from corn husk dolls to hobby horses to a miniature train that winds its way around a glass atrium. I've been to this... More

The place is nice, do not think I didn't like it, but be aware that the place is small, with just a few things to watch so if you have a low expectation will be perfect for you More

You will gain a better appreciation of the creative crafts and ingenious toys from all regions of Mexico. Unlike most toys in the U.s. none of the fantastic toys here require batteries. This museum also has a lovely roof top terrace where you can relax and enjoy a birdseye view of San Miguel. More

Although it is small and you can visit it all in less than an hour you will be amazed of the things you will see; when I visited it, they were exhibiting the winners of the First Mexican Toy Contest, it is a beautiful collection; and the best thing is that there are a lot of similar toys on sale...

This is a wonderful museum! You won't be able to stop smiling. The displays, the building, the color, the joy, the fine craftsmanship will bring out the playfulness in you. The gift shop has some delightful things to take home to keep the fun alive. More
