Absolute sensory overload. Spent over 3 hours to see it all. I know I missed some. Remembered old favorite toys and marveled at the craftsmanship of the doll houses and miniature.

This museum is great! Its recently renovated. They have the largest collection of miniatures. Theres so much nostalgia in here, really everyone will enjoy it. They have rotating exhibits, as well. Parking is ample, and its located on the UMKC campus, which is beautiful, as well. There is accessible parking, entrance, elevators and bathrooms in here. Theres a small gift shop which makes it a great place to pop in to, to get a unique gift for just about anyone.

Been here twice with the babies and never disappointed. Only a five dollar fee for each.

Visited the toy museum and was surprised of all the small doll house toys which was an amazing collection. Felt they could have done a better job collecting more toys. I only saw one Lionel train. But the setup and interactive fact based knowledge and insight was very informative.

We loved this museum. Our only complaint was that some of the audio didnt work, but the museum was awesome. We would recommend it to anyone .

Super friendly staff and amazing displays! We spent an hour and didnt get to the toys. Well definitely be back!

This was one of the biggest and best surprises Ive had in a long time. This museum is incredible. The minatures were simply mind blowing. The staff was super nice as well. I highly recommend this museum if youre in the area!

Such a fun museum in KC! So many neat things to see and is very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our time here.

An incredible collection! Could spend a whole day easily. The minitures were astounding. Great visit.

Really nice little place (ha ha). It truly is amazing the dedication and skill that goes into that stuff. The toys were like an added bonus. Not too many toys I grew up with but cool. Would recommend if you were in town

This is a unique and fun stop in Kansas City. Get ready to be taken back to your childhood in the upstairs toy galleries. Youll see all the popular toys from each year/decade, SO fun to reminisce! The museum is beautiful and all the exhibits are thoughtfully and creatively curated. My kids loved it as well as my husband and I. This is a great family activity in Kansas City!

Ive been twice now and loved both experiences! Both times I went for school-related reasons but this last time I was able to look around and not be lead by a guide. The guide was amazing but being able to look at what I wanted was very nice. The exhibits are fun and interesting and if you stick around to read and watch everything you really get more from the visit.Ive included some random pictures I took on my phone while were were there. I needed to take notes on my experience in the Toys From the Attic exhibit specifically for my course, but my favorite exhibits are the dollhouse one and the miniatures section on the first floor.

I couldve spent even longer than 4 hours here, which I would not have thought before visiting. Their miniature displays and the variety and precision are unbelievable. Also at least four good sized rooms of dollhouses from numerous decades, and an equivalent space of toys from throughout history, but the miniatures stole the show for me. Would definitely visit again!

Absolutely incredible. Took my children, and we all loved it. We loved the miniature portion the best, as we love to make small things, but the old toys were really cool too. Its an awesome place and a must go for KC.

Truly a place that people of ALL AGES could enjoy! No matter the generation, all would enjoy and have nostalgic memories of childhood. I had a great time visiting that museum. The staff was very helpful if I had any questions. The downstairs of the museum is more miniatures, while the upstairs is more toys.

Staff are clearly passionate. Nice collection. 2 hours worth of great exhibits. A complete treasure!

I loved it! The miniatures were exquisite! So enthralling and made you want to be a part of each display as they looked so real. The assortment of toys was great to look at as well. I loved the doll collection & I hope to go back soon. We went to KC for a concert and just happened upon this museum and this was the highlight of the trip! Wish I had More Time to look at the miniatures.

Fun to see toys from when I was a kid. There are toys our parents might have had too. Simple was better.

Very fascinating and impressive. Fun weekend activity if you enjoy miniatures.

Such many beautiful stuff! I had a lot of similar toys!

Beautiful museum with great miniatures and a wide selection of toys. Definitely a a great place for families or even a date!

Even with virus restrictions, great place to take the family. Give more time to it! They close over lunch hour(cleaning) Do first floor before and second floor after, make a leisure full day!

I really enjoyed this museum. The miniature artworks, replicas of actual paintings, furniture etc was amazing . Definitely a place to check out more than once

Dec 2017 museum is small but if you really take the time to check each display and the details of each miniature if it’s like full size, the equivalent size of this museum could be biggest in the world! Very nice and unique museum. They have a display so small for the naked eye yet you can read The Lords Prayer - Our father...

Could have been better, some kid set off the fire alarm so my time was cut short but it was still pretty cool

Awesome very cool. No too crowded! Saw some amazing things! Fun for adults and children!

Absolutely adorable and free for umkc students. Lots of fun activities available too.

Amazing museum, the miniatures they have are extraordinary, all of the toys and doll houses are amazing too.

Amazing museum. The details in the dollhouses and miniatures are absolutely insane. Forget what youve ever pictured when you think of dollhouses. These are incredible works of art.

Why have we missed this place for three years in KCMO, it’s great! Very friendly staff and memory jogging exhibits are the highlight of this museum. Parking is free and it’s a nice visit for 60 or 90 minutes.

Be sure to visit this. For 2-3 hours it could take you to a wonderland, irrespective of your age. The displays are really classic pieces of extraordinary and meticulous design and miniature craftsmanship. Each piece would evoke a wow from you and proves that its not a childs play!

A true gem! First floor fascinating miniatures....Second floor the Story of TOYS! If you are a bit older, youre sure to recognize some thing from your childhood.....and bring back a flood of memories!

We spent the most time looking over the toys. We would have spent more time with the miniture but ran out of time.

Great place to see art and look a little into your childhood or the past. Great place to relax and bring kids.

Great interactive experience. Unfortunately they have reduced the number of doll exhibits, I guess in an effort to be more family/kid friendly. That it is....but I miss the beautiful vignettes they used to do with dolls from the 1800s

Very educational and a fun collection. The minatures show an insane level of and offer a window into little worlds. The toy collection has something for every generation. Its a fun way to show grandkids what you played with as a child and learn about the history of toys going back before world war one and then wrapping up in present day.

This museum is so much fun! First off, its 5 bucks, and I so really, why not. But its totally worth it! Within the first few minutes, I was already amazed at the things on display there. Its not just doll houses I assure you! The miniatures are fascinating, I kept having to remind myself that all these things Im looking at are handmade! Then getting into the toy section, its was so much fun to reminisce seeing all the history displayed. This place is definitely on my list to visit again.

Teally neat! Fun little scavenger hunt. Great for a few hours of entertainment

Always updating the exhibits, its fresh every time I go. My favorite museum to go to in the winter.

How can any body describe the DETAILS!TBT people the place is amazing!!

Incredible little secret of KCMO!!! ️ Who knew this place existed or was so awesome?!!? Totally worth the visit!! Will be back. Loves the miniatures and the fun walk down memory lane with all the toys!!!

I took my 8 year and 5 year old granddaughters and my oldest daughter. We all enjoyed it. Course the kids move too fast through the exhibits. I do wish there was more stools or way that kids could climb up to the highest parts and see through all the little windows.

Really neat displays of miniatures. My kids loved the tiny miniature rubber animals for purchase in the gift shop. Best for children age 5 and older.

I find miniatures and toys extremely interesting.This Museum really made my day.Below I have posted photos . Items displayed within this museum.

It was a great place to stop while in town visiting. The miniature dolls, furniture, houses etc were absolutely gorgeous and intricate. So much to look at and take in. The toy area was great and brought a lot of nostalgia to the childhoods of all ages. Incredible collection and very diverse.

This place is so much more amazing as an adult, but even as a kid I loved it. There is a great balance between showmanship and education. Its good for multiple trips, because it seems like theres always something you dont remember from the last time.

Saw a lot of toys I grew up with.Very interesting and fun

Awesome position! Expected to visit again with my friends in the future!

Great exhibits from all across American history

Love this place! My four and two year old both had a great time super reasonable pricing, especially considering what a gem it is.

Relived my childhood and my childrens childhood. The miniature scenes are awesome!

This is a must-see Museum in KC! Greatly enjoyed visiting today and seeing the amazing Miniatures throughout. Staff were very kind and friendly also welcoming.

Wonderful place. So many toys from my childhood. It is like they were in my closet from when I was a kid.

Beautiful handmade art .I love this place

Welcome to one of Kansas City attraction treasures. The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures is a great museum for families to spend part of a day. Its sized just right to see everything if you are hurried for time but is also big enough to slowly enjoy all the details.

So much fun for adults and kids. Make sure you pick up a scavenger hunt booklet at the front desk.

Such interesting and amazing items. A whole different world of items in miniature as well as toys that bring back fond memories. Recommended. Will visit again.

Keep up the Good work!! My grandson and I had a Blast here!! Great Experience Thank You All For Everything You All Do

Absolutely adorable place. Much more miniatures than I expected. My mother and I walked around in absolute awe the whole time. We werent so much interested in the toys and games area upstairs, but if you like tiny things youll LOVE this place. There are tiny plates, clothes, pieces of furniture, dollhouses, etc. Anything small you could think of! The detail on every piece of art is astounding too. Definitely worth a visit!

I’ve always loved miniatures. All of the intricacies and artisanal skill are absolutely magnificent in every piece. I love anything anatomy due to the field I work in, this is by far my favorite piece. Kudos to Loyd McCaffery “Articulation” 1993.

The real treat is the miniatures part of this museum. There are so many things that just make you say “Wow” and “Amazing.”This place is definitely worth a few hours of your time.

Enjoyed it. Amazed by the art work.

This place is amazing. Even if your not overly enthused about miniatures you still need to see this. The artistry and craftsmanship exhibited here is nothing short of exceptional. At the miniscule cost of entry this museum provides a look at not only awe inspiring constructions but also brings back memories of childhood no matter your age. There toy collection is probably one of the most laid out and amazing collections Ive ever seen displayed.Everything, including the staff, was thoughtful and welcoming.I have the feeling my wife and I will make our way back many times to enjoy this hidden gem in Kansas City.

This is a must visit. Really fascinating museum with a lot of amazing content.

Its great if youre into this kind of thing, if not, youll be bored. Its a small museum, and you can be in and out in an hour.The dollhouses and miniatures were cool, and there were even a few from local Kansas Citians. You can interact with some artifacts, which adds to the museum a lot.

Such an amazing place, with so much to see!

Beautiful amazing love it

Loved it,exhibits on the small side...

A great way to spend an afternoon! Fun, affordable, good place to bring your kids.

Intricate miniature collection. Top notch collection of doll houses, more extensive than any I have seen. Very knowledgable docents who took the time to chat after the tour. A gem of midwest.

Such an amazing museum, so much to see. I would have liked to have seen miniatures for sale in the gift shop (but you saved me lots of money by not having them!). Amazing miniatures, lots of hands on opportunities, informative videos. The toy museum brought back many fond memories of childhood. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great museum thats a hidden gem. Doesnt get as much attention as it deserves.

Went in to kill an hour, stayed for 3 hours! Be warned, this is not for the super young, but 9 years old or older would be fine. Too much fun!

YOU HAVE TO GO AND SEE IT IN PERSON AND SEE HOW DETAILED AND SMALL IT IS, LOOKING JUST LIKE THE REAL SIZED ONES. IT IS CHEAP TO TAKE UR FAMILY TO AND UPSTAIRS THEY HAVE OLD TOYS VERY VERY COOL. TERRY G. IF U R IN SEDALIA MO STOP IN GOODYS STEAKBURGERS

We had alot of fun here our vacation was awesome we will be going back again. The place was amazing

This place is fantastic!! the whole first floor is filled with the most amazing miniatures. the most detailed dollhouse sized furniture, clothing, tools, plates... you could imagine. the craftsmanship and details are phenomenal. truly blown away. then the entire upstairs is a walk through the decades display of toys dating back to the 1700s!! very nicely done and inexpensive. your heart will smile with nostalgia.

Very beautiful museum, very nice and helpful people.

We had a great time, time went quickly. My husband enjoyed it, especially the toys of our history (80s and 90s).

The miniatures section is impressive and truly stunning, but all the detail can be a lot to process. The toy section is very interesting and offers nostalgia for people of all ages.

One of the coolest places in kc

This was an unexpected joy. Went on a whim. It was amazing!!

Fun place to visit with the family. It brings back a lot of memories from childhood, and its fun to remember the fun that was had with the different toys. I didnt see any See N Says, maybe I missed them but good time.

What a fun place, especially viewing my old toys on display!

We really enjoyed this... time flew by.. great memories...

I was hesitant to go at first, but Im very glad I did. The toy section is interesting, but the miniatures section is stunning. The level and amount of craftsmanship is just incredibly. If you have ever worked with your hands, you will appreciate the details in the items.

Home to the world’s largest collection of fine-scale miniatures and an impressive size collection of toys ranging from antiques to more modern times items. I loved everything I’ve seen on a display and it brought back so many memories! This place is a must for all ages!

Great place to take your kids! All of you will enjoy.

This museum is simply fun and amazing!If you love to see the awesome details of miniatures and have the love of toys... this is a must see.

Well curated pieces filled with timeless minatures and vintage toys! definitely a great place to bring the kids and or older relatives!

Such a great place to take the family. The kids loved learning and seeing all the interesting toys and miniatures. I was even in awe.

This place is a great little spot hidden in KC. Their main exhibit changes often so there is always something new to see. The museum is “small” and I would say is more for older children and adults who enjoy vintage toys and thinking about their childhood. I would definitely recommend going and experiencing the museum.

The renovation categorizes the museum,which is good, but the toy store was reduced. I often bought the RARE Christmas presents here, which are no longer available.

Fun and playful content for all ages. I saw grandparents with their young grandchildren; college students; and groups of teens. They have a way to grow though. Some areas were dark without apparent reason. Some of the art work was not documented as to artist or medium. Two particular works were placed by what appeared to be the buildings fans so when the fans kicked on it was scary and unexpected to us viewers and it disrupted the mood of the room. The store was nice and the flow from room to room was smooth. Very interesting.

Best collection of miniatures I have ever seen. The attention to detail and the variety of scales made it truly amazing. I also enjoyed the toys through the ages display. Kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt. Great place to visit and enjoyed by all who came from ages 6-63.

Welp its a toy museum. I took my boys assuming it would keep their attention for awhile but a majority is doll houses and dolls. Most kids I assume would not appreciate museums and turned out to be a kid torture chamber. Kids look at all these toys but u cant touch or play with any. Definitely geared towards adults. An hour there is plenty of time to see it. For what its worth some of those doll houses are true works of art

This place is awesome! Make sure you have plenty of time to explore the museum because it can take some time.

Absolutely love this place! Great for adults and kids alike!

Fun place to visit

Hi there, I took my mom, my daughter and myself to The National Toy museum after myself, my mom and I went to the National Toy Museum.My daughter really, really enjoyed going to the museum. I didnt take any photos of the museum when I was in there last Tuesday afternoon after we all ate our lunch... My daughter would like to give the museum a 5 out of 5 stars on the scale of 1 to 5 stars.But I give the museum a 4 out of 5 stars. If youre looking for a really cool museum to visit when youre visiting Kansas City, please consider going to The National Toy Museum in Kansas City by the Plaza library on Oak Street in Kansas City, MO.Sincerely,Joel Snyder

This is a toy museum, but it has a heavy dollhouse collection.In fact, more a doolhouse museum with toys..However, i highly recommend it. I really enjoyed it.
