MINT Toy Museum

I read about the toy museum since a long time back but had never visited it. Last weekend, I suddenly was reminded and realised that it is not too far from Marina Square where Lil Isaac was having his gym class. We had about an hour to burn before Daddy Lim picked us up after picking Lil Shauna.

We took a long walk from Marina Square to Seah Street. The museum took up a 5-level shop space in one of the buildings. I googled map but walked past it and one big round several buildings without realising. Luckily the little boy didn't complain too much. We paid $36 for a family package of 2 adults and 2 children. Oh gosh, I felt like a tourist. Lil Isaac and I proceeded to tour the museum while waiting for Daddy Lim and jiejie to join us.

The museum was fairly empty. There were 5 levels and we started from the top. The 5th level was contributed to outer space and there were many tin spaceship and robot toys. The toys are all inside full wall shelves with glass door. It isn't very children friendly; they couldn't see beyond the 3rd shelf. However, Lil Isaac was fairly entertained and was amazed at how old and expensive the toys are. I guessed most of the toys are collectors' items. We saw many that cost several KUSD. The most expensive is this mickey mouse that doesn't look too mickey mouse and cost 35 KUSD!

Lil Isaac took time to look at the display.

The 4th level was for Characters, 3rd for Childhood Favorite and 2nd for Collectibles. These are my favorite. So super cool!

Daddy Lim and Lil Shauna finally joined us when we were finishing the tour. We went back to the 5th floor and started walking the museum all over again.

Lil Shauna happily posed with the big robot.

The scaredy cat boy finally posed BESIDE the robot after summoning all his courage.  Haha.

Daddy Lim and Lil Shauna took about 20 mins to walk the museum. Lil Isaac and I took more close to an hour. It isn't exactly a very kids' friendly place. It would have been great if there are toys for the kids to hands-on.
