Full description

The Istanbul Toy Museum spreads across a five-floor building and displays thousands of old-fashioned toys and miniatures dating back around 200 years. Themed rooms give each exhibit its own story, and some showcases carry QR codes explaining the background to particular toys.

Facilities include a museum shop, cafe, toilets and children's workshops, which suits families, though reviewers note there is no elevator. Allow about an hour, and book ahead since booking is recommended.

Reviews

Very good collection of toys, each exhibition has it's story. The museum has a lot of thematic rooms and some showcases have QR codes to explain the interesting story behind some of those toys, I really recommend scanning those. The place also has a cafeteria in the backyard.
