San Diego Toy and Doll Museum

We had a fantastic time with our kids visiting the museum. The L Gauge Lego collection is the finest outside of billund. Some of the wood Legos date back to the start of the company. They have a short film on Lego as well as a rotating exhibit of master builder creations. The doll collection was loved by my wife and daughter, they are very pretty and from all over the world. Very nice people running it and very reasonable at $2 a person for a non profit.

What a wonderful discovery for our ladies group of 12 visiting on March 20, 2016! The volunteer staff was so knowledgeable and helpful in answering questions and also spending time with us introducing several collections of dolls and toys and providing background history. So many wonderful donors have passed on these treasures to the museum so others may enjoy. Adults can delight in memories of playthings from their youth and youngsters can learn about toys from long ago. The 15 minute film on the history of Legos was absolutely wonderful and worthwhile. Admittance fee was only $2.

Because the museum is closing in April and possibly relocating to the Bay Area, do make an effort if you can to visit this museum before they leave. The gift store offers a variety of dolls and toys and new merchandise is on sale for 50% off. Great bargains. I wish this non-profit organization much success if it is able to gain necessary funding to open a new location. It is such a wonderful collection that should be enjoyed by so many others in years and years to come.
