This museum is truly one of a kind! With an eclectic mixture of history and puzzles, there is something for everyone to enjoy (unless you hate the feeling of ringing that sweet brass bell when you solve one of the many puzzles held within this place!) Upon entering the store, you can be a little overwhelmed with the smorgasbord of trinkets, books, yo-yo's, and a huge variety of puzzles, but don't let that fool you, its a great place! There truly is something for everyone to discover and be entertained with. There is an older review complaining about there being too many rules, but if you know anything about puzzles and just antiques in general, you know the precautions that are needed to keep these genuine pieces in good working order! Yes, there are rules, but every rule has a story and they are there to make sure the puzzles (mostly the owner's and her mother's personal pieces) are kept well-maintained and usable for years to come! For only $10, you get almost 90 minutes to try as many puzzles as your heart desires or just tinker with 1 puzzle the entire time, the choice is yours. You also get to make 2 puzzles to take home and solve, which is included in your admission! The gift shop, which has almost everything a puzzle geek could ever desire, is available after you're finished in the museum. Overall, this is a great little spot that I am glad I discovered! We'll be back to try to ring more bells soon,...
Read moreVisited on 9/3/2025, the entire time the lady running the shop would not let the kids play with toys in the shop. Demanding a “buy first” before playing with the toys out on display labeled “play with me”. After agreeing to purchase something just to get out of there the owner interrogated me about the card details. She made me spell my whole name out and said something to the effect of “I can’t check your ID so I guess that’s good enough”. Implying to me that the card wasn’t mine over a $6 dollar purchase. Being interrogated for a $6 dollar purchase didn’t feel right and the entire time the owner made me and my kids uncomfortable. I cancelled the transaction halfway through thankfully but will definitely not be returning. Not worth the trip for any reason for any group. It’s a 1-room toy...
Read moreMy family and I went here on New Years Eve to try our hand at some puzzles, and were pleasantly surprised by the challenge and fun each station had to offer. For a little more than an hour and a half, you get to try and finish as many puzzles as you can, or just have fun trying all of them even without succeeding. If you like puzzles at all, it's a great experience, and the gift shop is a surprisingly neat place to see more puzzles, yo-yos, tops, and games.
For any Professor Layton fans (the Nintendo DS puzzle series), this place is FANTASTIC to try some of the digital puzzles in person, as much of the inspiration from the series comes from the puzzles showcased here. Solving them with my hands instead of a stylus was much more engrossing than I would have thought, definitely...
