I flew into Austin and had a few hours to waste before checking into my hotel. I’m so happy I found this place. It’s very affordable and so so cool. I forgot how much I enjoyed playing pinball. The toy collection is impressive too, full of nostalgia. I wish something like this was near me
Awesome selection of 80s and 90s figs from TMNT, GI Joe, Pee-Wee, and Street Sharks. You need it odds are it's here.
This place is nostalgia overload. As well, there is a free play arcade! You can also buy drinks for your visit!
This place is awesome and of course they have a vintage gift shop. 5/5

Came out of town and this was one of our stops. It’s a cool, small toy museum but arcade joysticks were not completely functional or had sticky buttons. I wish it had more to it but we were thrilled by seeing some of our childhood toys! .
One of my favorite spots downtown. They not only have a large selection of classic arcade games but they also offer a large selection of local Austin beers and ciders. The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating and enthusiastically answered all my questions about the various toy collections and classic video games they have available to play. Who knew someone actually still owns a functioning Virtual Boy ? Kids will enjoy the classic games and their parents will revert back to their inner 8 year old selves when they relive their fond memories of N64 and endless hours playing with their cherished childhood toys. The new space is more than twice the size of the previous space and has allowed for an ever growing toy collection in display. They also have a large classic toy selection available for purchase. Definitely worth the time if you are in downtown Austin and want to go on a fantastic nostalgia trip and enjoy a beer while doing it !
Super fun time. Brings you back in you lived in the 80s and 90s. A couple things could be cleaner but they have some really cool things. Play unlimited games for $17. I wanted to stay longer but definitely worth checking it out.
My husband and I were visiting Austin for the weekend and walked from our hotel to the Toy Museum. It was $17 per adult. They had a small selection of snacks and beverages, including adult beverages in the lobby that was also a ‘gift shop’.
The games were easy enough to access and play. The entire place was very crowded though and kind of thrown together. Apparently it’s their new location so they did have signs up saying display in progress.
Unless they are able to condense or rearrange the display cases and games, the ‘museum’ part is not easy to view.
They did have lots of really great toys. Hopefully they will put more effort into making them easier to view all of them.

Really cool retro toy museam with arcade games. I'm only rating 4 stars because it's a little cramped, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since there is so much to see. The scavenger hunt fun, so be sure to try that. I had a blast playing the arcade games, too.
