It is nice to visit and remember some of the old toys that we used to play with. However it's not worth of a visit just to see it. There are a lot of more interesting things to do in Sintra

If you've ever received a toy for Christmas then you must see this place. A wonderful collection and fairly well displayed. Easy to find.

If you are into history of toys and you are curious about how the portuguese toys used to be, this a place to go. If you aren't, you will spend precious time that could be use to see other places in Sintra.

I felt this museum was very disappointing. A huge area was given over to Disney toys, hardly of historic interest and there wasn't much of real interest. The display cabinets were really overcrowded so difficult to see if anything was interesting.

how can one person have such a passion for a hobby I do not understand, but I am so glad that he did. It is like a tour of human civilization.... I am so sorry for today's kids....they missed all of this

It only took us 5 minutes to have a look at these so uninteresting toys! Our two girls hated the museum.

It´s a great collection.. not the greatest. But it came at a good time after a terrible waffle experience just to the right of the same museum. Give yourself time to read the descriptions in the handed out pamphlets - that will give you more perspective on this place. My son had his problems to begin with.. since almost all... More

There is little of evefrything for every memory and preference: from all types of dolls, to 1:43 replicas of famous cars, to lead and plastic soldiers, to HO scale electric trains. You name it, you'l find it. Three floors full of memories, inside what was for many years the the Sintra Volunteer Fire Department/Brigade station
