All the toys from my childhood were there.. Nostalgic!
Charming museum with a big heart, set in a tiny historical building in the centre of Tartu. It's got so much emotion and a lot to explore whether you are a kid or an adult - one of my favourite temporary exhibitions has a sand lot* with toys and a hidden secret cave for the tiniest visitors while there's a timeline of Estonians' favourite toys from the last 100 years for the slightly more grown-up guests. It's also charmingly low-tech somehow - with less screens and more physical exhibits. When planning a visit, take into account that the goal of the museum is to raise tomorrow's museum-loving audience, so it's more about keeping the kids entertained than displaying full-blown scientific research into local toy history. *local context needed: a sandlot is something a kid really starts to miss in Estonia, when in February the ground has been frozen for months with very little chance of building a sand castle. So, Tartu Toy Museum to the rescue!
Thank's for greatful memorys of childnes
Kids like this place a lot. Many things that reminded me my childhood.
Playroom for kids was great!
it's overplayed in reviews.
yes, it's cool with the kids, but a bit boring for adults only. of course there is some nostalgia and so on. but generally we have not so bright fillings as others (according to their reviews)
p.s.
a lot of very old toys/dols if some body interesting of history or Asian culture
Perfect for kids and their playroom is amazing for celebrating childrens birthdays.
Nice place to go to with children. Pretty toddlerproof :)
Amazing place for children and (more important) for adults alike. :) A must see in Tartu.
Отличный музей! Очень понравилось нам, взрослым, и ребенку 4 лет. Запаситесь временем. В музее есть игровая комната, где можно поиграть с игрушками, порисовать, покачаться на различных детских качалках и поиграть в театр. Там же есть мастерская для деток. Можно поиграть в настольные игры. В музее представлены игрушки разных народов, времен (от старинных до современных). Провели там несколько часов. Ребенок в восторге. Рекомендую!
Definitely a must go place when travelling with children
Super
Kids will love it.
Nice museum.
