The National Toy Museum Of Canada — Attraction in Victoria

Oh. My god.

Okay so, it's not very big. It's a single room. And it's on the top floor of a used toys shop. But man, I can't believe what I saw here.

So much gold. SO much. It's really like stepping back in time. Old toys of all types, but primarily for boys. So that's kind of a bummer, but I mean cmon, girls had Barbie and Easy Bake Oven. (Oh, there's an impressive Jem and the Holograms display, even flashes lights and all!).

But none of that beats the el grandè. The best piece of the whole display. Probably the reason to go. The Star Trek stand in the back shows not only a piece of the starry background from the Next Generation TV show, but Roddenberry's original 1964 pitch. It's a TRIP, yo! My absolute FAVORITE part!!

Even if you don't go upstairs (admission fee is "donate a couple bucks"), the toy shop down below may as well be part of the museum, too. Just the part you can purchase toys from. No matter what, if this is part of your childhood, I can't recommend a visit to this...

A wonderful store and museum with a vast selection of toys from different franchises amd epocs, including star wars, gi-joe, transformers, he man, lego, star Trek, lord of the rings, the Hobbit, hot wheels. Additionally, they have some arcade games. The staff is really friendly and the prices are quite reasonable. A toy collector could spend here hours enjoying this...

Wow the toy museum is amazing! Kids and grownup kids will all like this place. Seeing all the vintage toys is like being transported back in time to 70's and 80's. So much to see had to go...
