About
Located in a former cinema, the Toy Museum 'Musée du Jouet' welcomes young and old in the heart of Colmar's city-centre. The museum presents a collection of toys from the 19th century to today. Throughout a theme-oriented visit, you'll discover all these toys which marked your childhood. Old teddy-bears to the first Barbie(C) dolls to video games, Playmobil(R), miniatures, robots or little trains, the toys and games exhibited come from all over the world and belong to numerous generations of children. The major museum attraction is a train network which runs over the entire second floor.

    Nice nostalgic visit
    Interesting and above all nostalgic visit. The history of toys and their evolution over the decades is incredible. We think back to the stories of our parents who told us about their old toys and then we can finally realize and see what fun they had with. There is also our nostalgic part of the 80s/90s (I'm 40) and it's a pleasure to rediscover certain toys! My son loved it too despite the fact that most of the toys were “old”. The gaming zone with the retro consoles is of course more appreciated by children than the rest, let's be realistic.

    Nice little museum for a short visit
    We quite liked this little museum. While it is quite small, it is still certainly worth the visit. The exhbition is a bit scattered but shows a lot of toys and games from the past. The addition that you are able to play a number of games yourself on the bottom floor is great.

    Good time
    The staff is friendly. The place is small and on several floors. You can play games such as checkers, chess, powers 4, small horses and more... There are also toy exhibitions from several eras and a mini train course. A good time

You do not need a tour here. It's a small museum with maybe an hour's worth of toys to see. An hour and a half if you're particularly nostalgic.

The two notable things here are a marionette show, which I suspect they do hourly-ish, and a few games on the main floor (original Nintendo, chess, checkers, and some building blocks).

It's not a bad way to spend an hour, but there are other ways you could spend that hour, too.

A rather divided opinion. The concept is interesting, the visit offers the history of the toy and a temporary exhibition evokes the art present in the games. In itself, the whole thing is extremely interesting but not really suitable for children. Nothing fun, no audio guide but the possibility of playing with self-service games, which is much more for our children. So to do despite the somewhat aging aspect of the scenography.

A museum to visit, the staff is nice. It allows us to remember memories or show our old toys to the little ones.
Ideal in case of heatwave 🥵
We can also play a lot of games, Lego…

I was traveling by bicycle across Europe and wanted to see the museum. They would not let me keep the bicycle in the entryway even though it would not have obstructed anything and people could get around it easily. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. The guy did give me a pamphlet for a luggage storage place about half a mile away. I went to the place and it was no longer there. No one answered the phone number on the pamphlet. I was not going to leave my bicycle with everything I am traveling with out on the street in a very public area. I didn’t go back

We read great reviews of this place. We were really disappointed this weekend when we went and it was closed until November. Don't get your children's hearts set on this museum!

An interesting museum. Full of toys remaining from 19 century. Free entrance for kids under the age of 8 and only€5.30 for the rest.

I am giving it a 4 star, as it was not really for me, but that does not mean it was bad. Great for little kids, and big kids if you are into Gold drake(?), Star Wars, Lego collection, Barbie models, stuffed bears and stuff like that. They also have a model train on display, which I have to say is very average. Have seen better ones than that.

This museum was tiny with only a few displays worth seeing. Besides the legos and trains... the rest were boring.

I had high hopes for this place but came out feeling utterly disappointed.

Not worth the money or time unless vintage dolls, barbies, and toys are your thing.

Couldn't help but feel ripped off by the end.

Nice little toy museum. Colmar canbe a bit boring for younger children (3-5yr olds). This is a nice little stop to keep them amused. It is easy walking distance withi the old town. The dolls collection is amazing and the model railway cute. Downstairs are a few tables of toys/lego for the kids to play with. Will take up about 1.5 hrs of your time.

We went here with our five children, aged 2 through 7. I must say, the displays were fine--there were lots of barbies and the highlight was the third floor full of trains. But overall the staff made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. They acted like they were watching our every child's little move and were ready to pounce as soon as we came too close to something, etc. It definitely was not a relaxed environment, which you'd think a museum that deals with kids would be.
