In my mind I thought its a proper 'museum' unfortunately it is like a warehouse! We were all the way from KL, bring along my nieces and nephews to see all the toys, superheroes characters. I think the place should be proper, the arrangement of the toys are too pack, crowded, there were no flows, the interior is totally out,... More

The first time I visited the Toy Museum, it was quite accessible but the hall space was rather small for all the exhibits. The second time there, the museum has changed to a rather secluded location further than Batu Ferringhi, though the premise is now much more spacious and organized. I chatted up with the owner, and learnt that he... More

The only reason why I'm not rating this place as "terrible" is that my kids had fun here. Fun in the sense that they took lots of photos of the toys. To me, it appears that this place is someone showing off his hobby of toy collecting. The toys are poorly displayed in bad quality plastic covered show cases. The... More

Went there last Sunday 18/2/2013. The road towards the so called "Toy Museum" is very bad. The toys are okay but the maintenance is very poor... The shelves are very bad...the front panel covered by perspex and producing irritating noise when we accidentally bump when trying to pose for photo. The person in charge keep staring and warn us not... More

It was not as I expected. Not comfortable. The lighting is bad. The smell is bad (from the ongoing renovation?? or the toilet??) The ventilation is bad. Gets pretty stuffy especially at the horror toys section. The space is cramped. The toys are not arranged well and dusty. The shelves are lousy. You bump into it, everything falls off. The... More

The toys are FUN, but everything else was dismal. The place was too cramped to handle any kind of traffic, the lighting was on the top shelf only, the toys and shelves were coated in dust. No labels, explanations on what you were seeing was offered.

Not worth the trouble, because you pay to go into a toy shop...there is no commentary on any of the displays.
