Very worthwhile -- you can so easily get lost in the miniature-ville of your choosing and forget all your cares. More

I've visited the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures twice now, and I'm still not sure what audience it's meant to attract. Surely adult dollhouse enthusiasts must comprise a small percentage of the population? Yet kids are not particularly welcome here, and non-hobbyist adults will be bored by the sameness of it. The historical and non-Western dollhouses are the most... More

Don't pass this museum by thinking it is just for little girls. The exquisite detail you'll find inside on the miniatures is for everyone. Perfect thing to do on a hot summer day. No flash photography allowed. More

The quality and workmanship involved in making these miniatures is amazing. The adults in our party could have stayed longer, but the kids (aged 7 and 4) were bored after about half an hour. More

This is not your ordinary museum! This miniature time machine museum is filled with unbelievable art. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it sooner. We planned on it being about an hour or so visit. To my surprise, we ran out of time. Allow yourself about 2-3 hours. It is FABULOUS! Amazing and such a gem to see and experience.... More

Totally unique and very extensive collection of antique dollhouses and other miniature devices. Kids in particular will love it. I think it's a must see. More

This place is just amazing. Our grandson came out to visit and we decided to visit this museum. One of my friends had recommended it to me. We couldn't agree more. My grandson is 7 and he loved it. However, I believe the adults find it even more fascinating. The details, carvings, designs on the doll houses are simply elaborate.... More

Loved the ceiling cupola with night sky and stars that kept changing from dark to sunrise, then sunset; and all of the miniature displays. More
