Take a trip back to childhood and rediscover some of your favourite toys in our popular exhibition.
Bikes, bath toys, computer games, Lego and beautiful handmade dolls are among the toys on show from the last 150 years – pick out your favourites and share your stories with family and friends.
Play together in our exciting Castle-inspired play area, watch our 100-year-old carousel turn round, or head off on the children’s Teddy Trail around the exhibition.
