Traveler reviews
Jay Boersma
★★★★★2 months agoThis was a wonderful experience. (My wife says it "is better than the Louvre"!) I'm so happy that Mr Favand had both the foresight and wherewithal to preserve all of these amazing attractions from fairgrounds and carnivals of years past. The fact that they still exist is impressive but that they actually still function and you can interact with them is incredible. Highly recommended for both adults and children.
Sarah Louise
★★★★★2 months agoDo yourself a favour and visit this charming, interactive, quirky and beautiful museum. It was quite a process getting tickets for the English tour (I had to keep checking the website over many weeks) but absolutely worth it. Our guide Libert was just incredible - a real star who brought the museum to life. Thank you!
