   A great collection of trains, lego, models, Meccano, and other “pre-digital” toys. Lots to see, read, and explore. The highlight is definitely the info. attached to many of the display cases plus the model railways, featuring local landmarks like the Long Man of Wilmington. They have a scale model of the Hastings East Cliff Funicular too. A few buttons for little people to press on the way round.

   If you’re interested in toys, models, legos etc it’s an amazing short visit. We stopped by because my husband adores these stuff, and spent more time than usual but you can easily look around in 20mins. Small but lovely. Staff was lovely and friendly, too.

   There was some time before we had to catch our train back from Brighton so this was a good way to pass the time. We didn't need more than 20-30mn without rushing. It's a good collection of all sorts of toys and models, but it's not the sort of place where there's a lot to read. There's very little to do or play with. I would say this is quite interesting and fun to see the amount of different toys, trains, models, dolls, Legos all gathered in this one place. But it's the sort of place I would go to once, but not come back to.

   This place is nice although I expected to be larger than this . I went to Kyoto railway museum and same ticket price and belated . But Japanese government support them. Here volunteers are enthusiasts run it. So it’s nice for them to spend time . It’s a good trust attraction .

   One of the best recommended places in Brighton. This can be enjoyed both by kids and adults. We spent nearly 3 hours and enjoyed a lot. The staff was very friendly. It cost GBP 15 for 2 adults and 1 child. They have a range of toys that are dating back to the 1800s. Would definitely recommend this.

   I was lucky to enjoy a great event there with drinks and food. Bite Sussex!!! But besides that I never thought I would enjoy the museum that much. Not really a model train person or that interest in toys. But to be honest it's definitely worth a visit I loved it. And since it's located under the station (get out main entrance take a right and you see a road go down there you'll find it.) It's easy to find/visit on arrival in Brighton. I say it's definitely worth a visit.

   Absolute treasure trove of toys and models from over the years. If you like model trains then it is a must visit. Very child friendly and interactive - staff are great and little spot the Lego man quiz for kids to do around the museum. We spent just over an hour at the museum, but you could spend longer.

   This is like stepping back in time on a toy journey. My little boy loves running around this place and so did we adults. A vast selection of vintage Lego, trains, dolls, Disney characters etc. Quite small but so much in it. A little treasure under the arches of the train station. The gentleman behind the counter was so helpful and impressed my little boy with his Ninjago knowledge. They had a Lego hunt on whilst we were there which went down a storm. This place doesn't take you long to go round but definitely worth a visit on your way into/from town to the train station.

   My son and I loved this toy museum! We've been wanting to go for quite some time and we were amazed at the amount of items on display. Some incredible old and rare model trains and toys. We enjoyed getting the trains going by pushing the various buttons. The lady who runs the place was so full of enthusiasm and she made it that much .ore enjoyable. Highly recommended!
