Don’t think that this is a museum just for children! You will so be mistaken because adults enjoy it as much as children…

I took my mum there on her visit to Edinburgh and she was absolutely enchanted by all the toys that she remembered from her childhood!!!

It is a really interactive place for children, in every room they have a couple of games to play with, whether it is a theatre for puppets or a child size doll to dress and undress however they like.
In the upper floor children can sit down around a table and paint or simply look throught the huge window and wave at the double-decker tour buses! There is always something for everyone!!!

Boys will find the trains and cars amazing, while girls will be delighted to find themselves in a room full only of dolls!

Curiously enough, this museum was created by a man who hated children but hated the idea of letting the Victorian dolls leave the country more…

Only annoying thing is that photographs cannot be taken unless you fill in a document stating that you will not take pictures to the children visiting the museum. But the friendly staff will be helful and nice enough to make you feel at home and like a child on Xmas day…

Wheelchair access since there is an elevator and toilet include space to change the little ones’ nappies.

If these weren’t enough, the shop that they have at the very entrance will keep the parents staring at the toys they use to play with more than children checking the animal-shaped-raincoats and wellies!
