Toy Museum
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings are best, especially early when the Prague Castle complex is quieter. Winter months and late afternoons have fewer tour groups, making displays easier to browse.
Budget tips
Admission is bought at Prague Castle ticket offices; children often free and students and seniors get reduced rates, so bring ID. Combine the museum with a Prague Castle circuit ticket to save money, and check the official site for current prices or occasional free-entry days.

About
Faits rapides: Over 10,000 toys from tin soldiers to delicate porcelain dolls fill dimmed rooms that smell faintly of old paper and oil, and many exhibits still spring to life when you press a button. You'll find handmade wooden figures next to bright twentieth-century plastic characters, and audio stations loop vintage radio jingles that make you grin.
Points forts: A hidden attic displays a 1:12 scale dollhouse with miniature wallpaper and readable tiny books, visitors crouch to study china plates no bigger than a fingernail. One local story names a retired toymaker, Josef, who donated 500 carved figures, and volunteers still wind a central clockwork automaton with exactly three turns of a brass key so the gears sing on the hour.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes because the museum sits within Prague Castle and involves cobbled approaches and stairs.
- Use non-flash photography; best photo spots include the vintage doll displays and the model train sections.
- Arrive at opening or late afternoon to avoid large tour groups that flood mid-day.
- Ask staff about rotating exhibits and interactive displays, children will enjoy hands-on areas.
