Traveler reviews
Raihanah Hannah
★★★★★3 months agoGreat experience. My kids love it. They have interactive area too. The play area at the most top and outdoor playground are my kid's favorite. They spend hours playing there and absolutely asking to repeat again. The location is inside the Oldtown, so you can continue visit other places as well.

★★★★★6 months agoA must-visit if you have children! While many museums are 'look but don't touch,' the top floor here is a paradise for kids to actually play. We spent over two hours exploring the history of toys before letting the little ones run wild in the 'Kids on Top' area. Very reasonably priced for families!
