Reviews

This place is nice although I expected to be larger than this . I went to Kyoto railway museum and same ticket price and belated . But Japanese government support them. Here volunteers are enthusiasts run it. So it’s nice for them to spend time . It’s a good trust attraction .

There was some time before we had to catch our train back from Brighton so this was a good way to pass the time. We didn't need more than 20-30mn without rushing.nIt's a good collection of all sorts of toys and models, but it's not the sort of place where there's a lot to read. There's very little to do or play with.nI would say this is quite interesting and fun to see the amount of different toys, trains, models, dolls, Legos all gathered in this one place. But it's the sort of place I would go to once, but not come back to.

If you’re interested in toys, models, legos etc it’s an amazing short visit. We stopped by because my husband adores these stuff, and spent more time than usual but you can easily look around in 20mins. Small but lovely. Staff was lovely and friendly, too.

Wow,what a joy to discover, so much nostalgia from seeing the immaculate toys and models,how did so much survive in such good condition to watching the giant train layouts,every boys dream from a certain time.its a wonderful reminder of a much simpler time. We'll done,5

This place is a paradise for anyone who collects hotwheels, legos, train models etc. they have a few working train models which is really cool. They even have a few 10p drop arcade stuff which are pretty cool to do. You can spend about 45 - 60 minutes in there just checking the different displays. You can buy tickets at the counter but I did feel the price didn’t entirely justify for what was in there. However, the child in me loved the displays and the time spent there. The person in the counter was really nice and did talk us through what was inside and did hand in an activity quest sheet for my kid to do while in there. Overall great experience.
