North Holland · History

Amsterdam Toy Museum is a private play event

A house near the Dam is converted for small booked groups into a guided experience among densely packed toys.

Plan your visit ↗

A collection up to the ceiling

Look at category, period and material rather than just quantity. Ask which pieces are toys for play, collector’s items or reproductions, and how fragile examples are protected.

Playing is part of the tour

The visit is organised as a play event, so touching and demonstrating are only possible as instructed. Not every visible object is automatically available to play with.

A private home with no walk-ins

The space holds about six to eight people and needs time for setting up and tidying away. Price and duration vary per request; an online listing is not a confirmed booking.

Before you go

No open hours: only a private or group tour confirmed in advance. Ask in writing about duration, price, group size and accessibility.
