Great collection of different toys in past years. From trains to doll's.

I have visited Leura countless times for the spring festival but this is my first time visiting the toys and railway museum and the collections just blown my mind, when the name said railway museum I was only expecting miniature trains but not an actual train and a train station! Amazing collection of toys from all ages which show great love and care of the collectors, this place will transport you down the memory lanes regardless how old you are. Such a hidden gem of Leura, highly recommended. There is also an amazing lookout - the Olympian Rock - right across the road from the museum, one of the best views of the blue mountains in my opinion.

Set in a beautiful expansive and well kept garden is an amazing building with an impressive collection of new and old toys. Great for kids and adults alike.

Great place, can spend as little or as long as you want. Beautiful gardens and huge range of toys, something for everyone.

I visited here, with my family, 26 February 2016 and was happily reminded of my visit when I removed the business card from my wallet.

What a fantastic place, a superb collection of vintage toys with some modern items to boot. It is brilliantly laid out allowing you to fall back in to your childhood and reminisce about the toys you played with and the ones you never had.

Unlike most museums it allows you to use your own active imagination when recalling your toys rather than labelling each item in a stuffy format, it doesn't force you to follow-the-arrows-read-and-move-along, it allows you to go at your leisure and actually enjoy the items on display. It allows you to interact with your children and tell them about YOUR childhood. It was fantastic, I was showing my children the toys I had and my Mum was showing us the few toys that she had. And we talked about them with passion - not quietly reading a predetermined piece of text that you forgot all three minutes after reading.

I've read some comments about the state of the rooms not being exhibited nicely and items with no information, they must have lived some regimented life with all their toys neatly put away with a name tag on. I never once read any packaging as a child, I just played with the toy - and that's how I felt in the museum, I forgot it was a museum and I was almost back in my toy room as a child. Brilliant.

The entry price was excellent, $15 was that all? It worked out at £7.50 per person when we were there. To give a comparison I went to Stonehenge last week and they charge £15 per person to see some stones that I have no emotional attachment to whatsoever!

We are planning a trip back to Australia soon and I will definitely be back to see this fantastic museum.

Great way to spend a few hours remembering the toys and trains of yester year. Wonderful displays. Entrance fee was reasonable., unisex bathroom., plenty of entertainment for the entire family.

What an amazing place. The building itself is a historic and architecture marvel, filled with millions of dollars of toys collected over decades. A large garden and a railroad memorabilia collection is in the yard. Takes 1-3 hours to complete.

It's a small museum with a beautiful garden. The lady at reception point is really nice and willing to help visitors. I'm also impressed by a variety of toys and artificial small train stations. More importantly, all collection can bring you back to the time when you were young. 😊😊

Definitely not value for money
Being a museum , there should be a description with artifacts but unless you know the characters - you wont know what they are.
Adults did not enjoy it, kids did not enjoy it.
