    Our son is almost 2 years old and he loved every room. Great for nostalgic adults, too!

    So much more then we expected. Very friendly staff. So much to see. They even have little plastic step ups for kids to carry around and use to help them see the train displays. Nice touch. Well done.

    Coming here you are going to see lots of toys from your childhood, maybe your parents and kids childhood too! There are toys young kids can play with to keep them busy while you look around the exhibits around the edges of the rooms. The train exhibits have fun set ups to keep kids busy as well, like "can you find the 15 dinosaurs". They now have a cat here, Loo, named after the famous railroad cat, and pinball machines that you can play for free / donation. This place has a very interesting collection: trains, Lego trains, dolls, and miniatures. The earliest toys I saw were from the 50's, but I likely missed some. There is also some history about China and real trains. You could come here and spend hours. My favorite area was the kinex roller coasters set up as a miniature exhibit.

    I hoped for better exhibits but it was still a great time. We'll worth the price of admission. I would have liked to have seen more Marx playsets and space and robot toys. The collection of individual Marx miniatures was very good. I was unaware of the existence of the spicy "American Beauties" series.

    This place is amazing! It is family friendly and has a cat in residence. It's like walking through my childhood. All my old friends are there and then some. They keep changing it to make it fresh.

    What a great way to spend the afternoon. We used a Groupon and it was only 5$ each. There are 10 different rooms to explore with a kids play area in each. There are also too many to count displays everywhere else. Look for Waldo, there are five or dinosaurs in the train room upstairs (I think there were 15). The gift shop is stocked and very well priced. You cannot go wrong with a visit.

    Very cool how they used the school's layout. They had great displays while leaving toys for the little ones to play with. The KNex roller coasters need to be tended to, only one coaster was working. Looking forward to the 2 coasters they are working on :)

    My favorite exhibit item: the stick. Lol! Fun little place to visit.

    This place is awesome! I went to school in this building and hadn't been back since I "graduated". Once inside the door the memories came flooding back of teachers and friends long ago. The toy and train collections are incredible. I got a tour of the collection and the building that I will never forget. Many thanks to the staff for their time and the personalized tour AND to the owner, who saved this building from demolition. This building (and a few others) represent Elm Grove's history and should be preserved. Well worth a visit!

    This place is awesome! I was worried that this museum wouldn't be as much fun as my kids expected, but I ended up having a hard time convincing them to leave!

    The rooms downstairs have cases along the walls with a variety of vintage toys and games (which I found fascinating), and in the middle of each room was something interactive for the kids to do, which they loved! The Lego dump trucks were a favorite. We all loved playing the pinball machines in the main room, and the nickelodeon was neat to watch, too!

    Upstairs is trains and remote controlled cars. I loved how the trains were set up with a variety of buttons to push to make different things move, and the kids loved the dark room with the lighted amusement park rides.

    The staff there were very friendly and helpful. Oh, and brownie points for having chairs in each room so that parents could rest if the kids got really interested in playing with something. I don't think I've ever seen anyplace else offer that, and i definitely appreciated it!

    I would recommend this place to anyone!
