They claim to be Europe's biggest toy museum, which may well be true - there are 3 stories of displays, the coloured signs directing you around the museum are (like all signposting in Belgium) more confusing than helpful, but you'll soon find what you're interested in, from dolls to construction sets.

It is easily reached by train. The younger ones will admire all the toys and adults will have a good time too. There is a collection of old toys. You will certainly recognize a lot of your favorite toys from last century.

Unexpected and long forgotten toys bring you back to your youth. And even the kids will like it. They can spend several hours watching and truying out.

This museum is something you can visit, when there's nothing else to do around. They have a big collection of toys, old and new. Fun for the kids because there is a lot to see and some interactive things to do. But nevertheless, the museum gives an old impression.

This museum has a large collection of toys. Some are real treasures and very old. Some a relatively new. All in all the museum leaves a bit of an oldfashioned impression and could use a good cleanup. Don't count on eating/drinking inside.
