I expected a bit more after the re-opening. It's good for families with small children as different play areas occupy most of the exhibition space. There are not so many toys and only general details are provided about each category. If you are looking for a more museum-like experience I suggest going to the Suomenlinna toy museum instead. However, this one will likely keep the children more occupied while you check out the toys. It takes around 30-45 minutes to see it all so paying only for an hour of parking is more than enough.

Nice and interesting. Very good selection of exhibits, both for children and the accompanying adults who can reminisce about their childhood toys. One thing I would like to comment on though is that large chunk of the exhibition has Finnish only descriptions which is a pity for the foreigners like us.

Compact and very well curated toy museum for kids and adults alike. Kids would enjoy all the activity rooms where they can play with the actual toys, while all the toys in the past are thoughtfully organised and displayed. Friendly staff at the counter. Kudos to the museum team!

The museum is tiny. It feels like an exhibition more than a stand alone museum. There are toys on display but tbh my kid wasn't interested in the displays at all, just the play areas. There was a small wooden train, a play shop and kitchen, a fairy tale forest and a room with some balls.

We were done playing in 30 minutes and my 5 year old didn't even ask to stay longer.

A visit costs €12 for an adult (children free) so not cheap for what it is.

I would not recommend this place unless you live in Tapiola and have a museum card. To be honest we went to the nearby shopping mall after and the play area there is the same size and free, and the kids enjoyed it easily as much.

Alternatively the Helsinki City museum has a decent children's village that is a...

Disappointing and underwhelming. This small museum is called the Museum of Play yet it was not particularly interactive for our 4 children. There are some old toys on display behind glass, and when we went one display about Hollywood pop stars (?!) and a display on Japanese cosplay and Lolitas (not what I would expect to see in a museum for small children). There are a few dress up clothes and a few wooden toys and kitchen toys the kids can touch, but we were not impressed. At 12€ per adult the pricing is a bit outrageous for such a small museum. If you are looking for a rainy day activity, even the IKEA kids' play area would be better. Note - you have to leave your pram/stroller...
