My husband and I were looking for something to do on one of our rare days off and we realized we'd never been to Quechee. We're from northern VT so we took the trek down, intending to go to the gorge. I looked up "things to do in Quechee" and the toy museum had amazing reviews, so we had to visit it. OH. MY. GOSH. It was SO AMAZING! The sheer amount of toys is ridiculous, and they're organized beautifully. We spent so much time in the museum (and the connected shops) that we didn't even get to see the gorge! Oh well - it's a great excuse to go back!

I would definitely recommend coming here! There’s a suggested donation of $4 per person, which seems reasonable. When you walk in, there’s some arcade games (bring some quarters when you come here!), and a really detailed model train set up (you can put a quarter in to see them get moving). The rest is toys organized by year or type that I was excited to remember, hadn’t realized I’d forgotten about, or didn’t recognize at all. It was a lot of fun to walk through with my partner and laugh about the games and toys we used to play with. Overall, definitely worth a stop in.

This is our second trip to the Vermont Antique mall but first time noticing their upstairs sign that said toy museum. So we meandered upstairs. We noticed a sign that said donations appreciated. I didn’t want to be cheap and not leave a donation but didn’t want to spend any money so I started to walk back downstairs. There was a sign that said 4 dollars per person. That’s 8 dollars and we’re from Canada so that’s like a fortune haha. But my girlfriends went in anyway. FYI we’re 70s babies. So I walked in too, kinda quietly as I didn’t want to pay. Then we were greeted with the model railroad set. Which proceeded to empty my pockets of all my quarters. It was so awesome and so much fun. I’d always wanted one of these. Then we proceeded to check out the rest of the museum as the railroad had us acting like kids and in total amazement. The rest of the museum was filled with constant “do you remember that”, “oh I had that”. It was so awesome and I was glad to pay our 8 dollars on the way out, where we dropped it in the wishing well. If you’re a kid or kid at heart, or just love memory lane. This is a must see while in the area and worth every penny. Really great exhibit. Make sure to bring lots of quarters, oh and don’t forget to look up.

My roommate and I were just trying to do something fun on Saturday afternoon when we stumbled this toy museum and decided to check it out. What a good decision that was! We saw a lot of our childhood toys and spent more time that we would like to admit. Definitely recommend this place.

Took a Quechee segway tour led by the creator of the Vermont Toy Museum. Highly recommend visiting both.
The Toy Museum brought me back to my childhood and you could even purchase some of the collectibles!!!! Fun for all ages. Loved the model train, too!
Donation based entry, and I would pay to go again!

Very fun nostalgic museum with toys from many decades. Displayed by decade and by type (dolls, board games, lunch boxes, Star Wars, Fast Food toys, Pez dispensers, Cracker Jack and Cereal Box prizes, to name a few). Also a large train garden. I think adults would enjoy this more than young children because of the history but my teenager enjoyed seeing some of her own old favorites on display. Free to enter but they did have a sign requesting $4 donation per person. It was so fun, I was happy to make the donation.

Stopped at antique mall with my mother and girlfriend on way to Stowe, I'm not big on shopping but they enjoyed it, then I heard about the toy museum, so we went upstairs, and oh my god the nostalgia hit like a ton of bricks. I absolutely loved this place, it brought back so many memories of toys I had long forgotten about, brining back a taste of joy that they did in my childhood. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience that child like joy again spotting toys in each case.

7.18.22 What an unexpected surprise we found on a rainy day. This place has a huge collection of old toys griuoed by decade and category. Plus connected is a country store, so you can buy food, VT made maple syrup, wines, jams, etc and it's next door is the country store. The Toy Museum is very clean, ample parking, lots of toys to see from collections of lunch boxes, robots, pez, trains, etc to toys groups by the 60s, 70s, 80s. Fun venue for all ages.

This place deserves more recognition. Was walking around the Quechee mall and almost missed the stairs to the museum in the back. A lot of toys that reminded me of childhood. There were other families around and everyone from grandparents to the kiddos were enjoying themselves. Buy some cheese and maple syrup, but don't miss this place upstairs.

Fabulous walk down memory lane. There were amazing gems around every corner and in every nook and cranny including the ceiling! Such an incredible collection of memorabilia! It was like taking a portal into the past. Such a truly, truly amazing collection!
