A Toy Museum with Children’s Play Area
Located at the Banqiao 435 Art Zone, this fascinating little museum includes displays of traditional Taiwanese toys and popular worldwide toys from the 1950s to modern day. The toys that are part of the museum displays are primarily behind glass display cases, or out of reach, so parents don’t have to worry too much about kids destroying antique toys. The rest of the toys are there for kids to play with, and there’s plenty to amuse kids (and parents).
The museum’s play area has a train table, skill puzzles and chess boards, kitchen play sets, dollhouses, rocking horses, rideable push toys, and a variety of other learning toys. The toys are all setup on top of old children’s desks, and the museum makes a good spot for children to play and parents to reminisce about some of their childhood toys. Outside the museum there’s space for chalk drawing, hula-hooping, stilt walking, playing with bubbles, and there’s a big field and playground for more play.
