(April 2024 - Primary School)




Excellent environment and permanent exhibits. Specifically, the Myths to Manga exhibitions were a great chronological set of exhibits ranging from Japanese Woodcuts, contemporary toys, advertising and comics. Students responded positively to the exhibits and engaged with the activities provided. The Holbein exhibition was superb. A good number of original drawings of Tudor's and other nobility. Exquisite examples of drawing. (April 2024 - Secondary School)

The facilities are all good, as are the speakers, however the teddy time line is a little dull and takes up a lot of time. (February 2019 - Primary School)




Friendly staff who go out of there way to assist where they can. Interactive and relevant presentation on History of Toys using a time line. Interactive and interesting dispalys. (October 2018 - Primary School)

The artifacts in the museum were well presented and interesting. The children enjoyed looking at the old toys. We had a talk about teddy bears, and it was sometimes hard to understand the presenters. (March 2018 - Primary School)




Lots of hands on things to explore and do. (January 2018 - Primary School)




(January 2018 - Primary School)




Great collection and good lunch and food/coat storage available. Booking process and simple and efficient. However, Spotlight Talk was almost impossible for the children to hear properly from where it was held, overlong, not very age-appropriate and involved little practical activities for the children to do so was not very educational or enjoyable.
