Cute Museum stuffed chock full of toys from times gone by. They really maximise their use of space, there are toys stacked up to the ceiling! There are so many different displays, which are packed to the last of their capacity. A myriad of all kind of toys, including a few working model trains. The museum is on the small side, but definitely worth a visit. There's a few interactive displays as well, social distancing is handled well, and staff are very knowledgeable and eager to help out.

It was a trip through the history of toys and games, complete with creepy dolls freaky puppets,and practical toys that I wish were still in production.

It is a very traditional museum with a lot of the historical items displaying in it. However, I don’t have time to pay a visit and therefore just have a look at the Sales Counter....., still I find it is very interesting to view the items there. Let’s share some of the photos for you to have a glance.

One of Brighton's finest attractions, it is my toddlers favourite place, packed with a huge offering of toys from days gone by, the quality of what is on offer is only shadowed by the awesome staff who are always on hand to tell you about the many treasures. Well worth a visit.

Great idea with wonderful exhibits. Small, but if you love toys, especially trains, then this is the place for you. Tourist info point. Enthusiastic and very dedicated staff. Easy access. Childhood favourites relived.

What can I say? Coming from London I was expecting the museum to be free but once I paid the entrance fees, you can understand the amount of work that's been put to collect all these toys over the years. You are given a list of characters to hunt for which makes it very exciting. Will definitely visit again next time.

Great little museum. Highlight of our trip to Brighton and a fantastic way to spend an hour. Also happy to report we found all the Lego minifigs and am still wearing the sticker with prize.
