    Way Too Much
    So we were excited to take two of our grandkids to this museum. We were walk ins and the shop had some neat toys. We bought a few toys and when we inquired about the tour, I was floored. The price of four with tax was going to be slightly over $150. What? Can families actually afford that. I was shocked and floored and we had to take a pass. The kids were disappointed. We ended up at the Mid America Science Museum where the tickets for the four of us was less than $50. I think the Galaxy Connection needs to reevaluate what they are charging kids. Very disappointed.

    Amazing memories, past and future
    This place is all about memories, and the coolest part is our walk down memory lane is helping to create new positive memories for the local youth through their community work! While walking through the tour we were transported back in time to G.I. Joe, He-man, Star Wars, Barbie, Rainbow Bright, Wonder Woman, and more. All carefully but lovingly displayed in a very approachable way while our tour guide provided us with interesting tidbits of history and information. We never felt hurried and were allowed to share our experiences as well. :) This is an amazing collection and a wonderful way to spend a casual afternoon!

    Super heroes and star wars for all ages.
    We took our 6 year old grandson and his Dad to the Galaxy Connection and they both enjoyed it. If you are a star wars fan , you will especially enjoy this tour. There is plenty for everyone from a Barbie doll room to toys of the 60s . We had a light saber fight and our grandson got to try on helmets from the Mandalorian to Darth Vader. Lots of photo apps. The super hero’s room had full sized figures of Superman, Batman and Robin , and the Flash just to name a few. Plus the opportunity to sit in an x wing fighter and a land speeder. Lots of full sized Star Wars characters including Chewbacca. We all had a great time and the proceeds from the tickets go to support charity. This is one of the best private collections I have seen and my grandson was talking about this for days.

    Hit with Grandson
    My 8 yr old liked the old collectable cards, action figures, beanie babies, and props. He also liked trying the props.

    Fun, but expensive
    This is a hard review to write. We were walk ins because we were traveling from city-to-city and weren't sure if we would have time to do this or not. We enjoyed ourselves. Very nostalgic. Our boys enjoyed themselves. There's also some interesting information that you gain about the Star Wars movies and merchandise. However, the only option that was available was the VIP tour, which gets you a 10% off discount in the gift area and a Polaroid picture of the visit. The price of four with tax was slightly over $150.--Was the money, for me, equal to the experience? No. Even the regular tour, which would cost slightly over $100 is a bit of a stretch.--Have to be fair--Previously, I torched the College Basketball Hall of Fame for it's $70 experience and we spent more time in it, than in Galaxy Connection.--However, with all of that said, if you are one of those who is streaming Obi Wan Kenobi, episode three, multiple times, you will certainly love this.--For me, I'm more curious about the backstory of the owner, who has a pamphlet promoting Christianity . Would have loved to learn more about his life experience within the tour.

    Small museum, big results!
    Great small museum/store! Our Grandkids loved it. Lots of stuff to see and peruse. Fantastic collection of movie items and just general toys from the past. Would not pass it up if you are in the area.

    A Trip Back in Time
    We stopped by during a short spring break trip to Hot Springs. My husband the the kids were in heaven. The 80s room took us back to our childhood with the collectibles, video games, etc. My husband could have spent an hour in the room of He-Man and GI Joe figures alone. The kids loved the Marvel and Star Wars collections, especially the costumes. It’s a fun stop and all proceeds benefit their non-profit that provides charity and outreach activities in the community (like Make-A-Wish).

    The Guide Made it 5 Stars
    I went there in the beginning because my son wanted to go. I didn’t expect much but it was fantastic. Truly a trip down memory lane back to so many Christmases ago when I was a young kid. Vintage toys galore in this place. But what really set this tour apart was the guide. He was knowledgeable even about my era, the 70s and so much more. His passion for the subject came thru at every room. Thank you for a trip down memory lane and for the look of joy on my sons face ! Thank you

    Mother-son trip
    This museum is a must for any Star Wars & Super Hero enthusiast. The owners obviously love what they do, as is clear by the attention to detail. There’s so much to see, it’s almost daunting. Even someone not familiar with this genre will enjoy the huge collection. And seeing that the establishment gives back to the community with their various children charities, it’s really a win-win. Josh and Jacob were a delight and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Really loved the dorky intro video - they must of really had fun putting this all together. The place is easy to find, wasn’t crowded when we were there. Nice stop.

    Must for star wars fans
    Not just star wars, but super heroes as well. Lots of vintage toys, a little bit of cheesiness. Spring for the vip tour as you get to play with the good stuff. Would definitely like to have some of that myself. Some of the stuff is home made but cool just the same.

    Great place Geek Out!!
    Wonderful tour led by a very knowledgeable and polite guide! I saw a lot of stuff from my childhood, including the bonus room that comes with the VIP Tour. Got some awesome pictures with my son holding lightsabers and infinity gauntlets. Definitely worth the trip for anyone interested in Star Wars, comic books, and nostalgic action figures.

My wife found this place online and booked the bio tour as a birthday gift, and it did not disappoint. It was everything and more than what I expected. While we waited for our tour to begin, we passed time in there retro arcade complete with a Nintendo with all the old school games, a few other retro gaming consoles and a few retro arcade games. Our tour guide was especially awesome, as she guided us through the various themed rooms set up. She seemed to have a lot of knowledge on a multitude of items throughout the tour. This place is a must visit for any Star Wars fan or person who grew up in the 80’s. You’ll definitely leave this place with a nostalgic feeling. It’s great for all ages. My group definitely enjoyed ourselves, even my wife who is not into super hero or Star Wars enjoyed herself. 10/10.

I was in Hot Springs for the day and was looking for something to do. Being an old school Star Wars fan, this place caught my eye. I took the VIP tour not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The tour was basically of Star Wars and Marvel memorabilia- everything from original toys to costumes. What made the tour really worth it was the backstories that the tour guide had of the memorabilia and of the movies. The tour guide knew all the Star Wars trivia, including a lot that I didn't know. If you have an interest in Star Wars or Marvel, this place is worth the trip to. I went in thinking I'd be in and out in an hour, and ended up being there most of the day. Well worth checking out.

A must see for Star Wars and Marvel fans! We had such a great time. It really brought me back to my 80s childhood as well. Our daughter (12) thought it was super cool. She loved that she could try on a jedi robe and other Marvel items. Also, the causes that the owner supports with donations and ticket sales is super meaningful. Sign up for the VIP tour. Totally worth it!

This was a highlight of our weekend! If you were born in the 60’s or 70’s don’t miss this. They even have an 80’s living room set up which was like stepping back in time. Lots of familiar toys and games (Superman, Barbie, GIJoe, Star Wars, Atari, etc.). The gentlemen running the tour were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating (we were 10 minutes late due to a snafu with our GPS). I highly recommend this tour!!

Wow! This museum is more than just a tour, it's a journey and experience. Jon's passion and joy of this endeavor is what makes this museum special. The collections are incredible and brought back many fond childhood memories. The best part of the tour was learning about his outreach projects in the community. Bringing hope and joy to others is the best and I was happy to hear that part of my ticket admission goes to support such wonderful blessings. I highly recommend the tour if you are in the area. Thanks Jon for taking the time to share this extraordinary collection. May the good Lord continue to bless you, your family and your community.

We were a family of four generations visiting the Galaxy Connection, and each one of us loved it in a different way. My mother enjoyed the old Superman displays, my daughters loved the old toys (masters of the universe, etc), my grandchildren loved everything Star Wars, and I loved watching all of them (and playing the original Super Mario Brothers game!). Our tour guide, Andrew, was great fun and really knowledgeable. You could tell how much he loved it all. We weren’t expecting such a great experience!

Awesome place! Takes you back in time. So many photo opportunities especially with Star Wars memorabilia. Our tour guide was informative and entertaining. And, Galaxy Connection is associated with many children’s charities which is a plus for the community.

My husband and I went for his birthday. He's a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan, so he enjoyed every bit of his time there. What we loved the most was being able to take pictures holding or wearing some of the smaller props.

It was great!! We loved all the old toys, video games, movies, and all the Star Wars memorabilia!! There was something there for everyone to be awestruck. They have a game room with old Mario, Pac-Man and other video games. We went August 7th and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and time spent here. You won’t be disappointed.
