We took our five children (ages 3,5,8,10, and 12) to the Toy Museum because it sounded like a fun place for children. I mean, it is about TOYS and when you think about toys, you think about children because that is who they are made for. Immediately upon entering, we were told three times not to touch anything. Then, there... More

This is on a very limited and tiny selection of dolls and toys. Kids may like it, but it falls short for history of what a museum should be. More

Hard to believe they say 45,000 toys here, not good for kids are you are not supposed to touch anything. Displays lack thought and inspiration, more like things thrown here and there. However, they are categorized some what like all star trek together but not all space toys, etc Interesting as it was included in our package, but would not... More

This is the most boring place I have ever visited. The woman at the door was rude and the toys are not as interesting as one might think. My family is big on museums/old items and we thought this would be nice, but it wasn't. More

It's a one-room museum (not sure if this is the right word). This was not a highlight of our visit to Natural Bridge. The toys were not what I'd consider museum quality. It just seemed to be thrown onto the shelves which were crammed with too much stuff and it was not very appealing to me. More

If you like toys and nostalgia, you'lll love this place. They display lots of toys in thier original packaging. You'll see lots of dolls throughout the ages inculding colonial ones. Star wars figures, cars, trucks, a small multigauge train layout (still being worked on) are all there. Toy soldiers in battle scenes, circus all set up. It's all there, and... More

Since it is free with pass admission tickets, we visited. It has a lot of toys that will bring back some memories, but it has more of a very clean thrift store feel. It's not worth a fee, but fine for a quick walk through if you buy the pass. More

If you want to see tons of toys we used to play with (Ms. Beasley, Chatty Cathy, lots of army toy soldier sets, G.I. Joe, etc.) then you will appreciate this museum. Everything is casually arranged on open shelves, so watch the kids! Still, admission is included in the bundle ticket price, so why complain that it is not the... More

I was really excited about this, but from the door I knew that it wasn't worth the time or money. It was shelves of toys that were old dirty and not even positioned in a "museum" fashion. The glass shelves are dirty, your not allowed to touch anything but I don't understand why. Its not worth your time. You would... More
