Visitor tip
Don't skip the upstairs museum section - while the ground floor toy store appears small, the main collection is housed on the second level where you'll find the most extensive displays and interactive areas. Plan to spend a few hours exploring both levels.
Visitor tip
Bring children who enjoy hands-on experiences - the museum features interactive play areas including a LEGO play area, Super Nintendo games, and a kids' play section upstairs. However, be aware that some play equipment (like the ball pit) may need maintenance, so inspect before letting young children use it.
Visitor tip
Plan your visit as a multi-generational outing - the museum appeals equally to adults seeking nostalgia from the 70s-90s and to younger collectors exploring toy evolution. Bringing different age groups allows visitors to compare their childhood toys and memories while teaching kids about toy history.

What visitors say
Such a neat little gem here in Houston! The toy museum is such a fun place to visit, especially if you grew up in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. It’s full of nostalgia and brings back so many childhood memories. Nothing super fancy, but…
What a fun place! The nostalgia alone will make this a fun trip for all ages. You can a LOT of toys before you even enter the main museum but do the tour - you'll be amazed what you find upstairs.
It was a very cute experience. It was nice to walk around upstairs and just feel all the nostalgia & play a video game. Now, considering how small the space is, I don't feel like the ticket should be any more than $5 (they were $15),…
