Expensive to see absolutely nothing. I visit a lot of museums but Basically walked in and walked out. Could be interesting if your over 40yo. Worth a gold coin only.

Good for about 30mins, two adults and a child and you are paying $17.50 which is a bit steep for what you get. No toliet either which is average as seeing it is targeted at children who are more likely to need to go toilet more often. Would suit kids more 2-3 years old. Over 3s get a bit bored quite quickly.

Neat museum. Would love if they had more of a shop so you could purchase a better range of items

Well worth the visit. Very quaint and old school but our newly 5 year old had a blast for his birthday treat and got a new real toy truck to dirty up.
Anyone with a pinch of nostalgia and any one under 10 will love it.
Old dioramas, a video history, 850° hot furnace and a sand pit, what's not to like?
We got lucky with toymaker Brian being onsite to set up some sand molds and giving us an old fashioned show and tell. Was interesting to set the toys in their part processed state.
Brought back memories. The toys are basic yet so clever and tough.
Thanks to all.

Interesting Museum showing off a lot of the toys made. Videos on display show how the toys were made are interesting too.
Entry fee of $7 per adult was a bit on the expensive side for what you see.

This is a very interesting place for adults and kids. A very good display and interesting presentation including cast toy manufacturing. You can also buy toys of yesteryear, or from your youth!

History of toys in NZ and how some of them are manufactured. Amazing display of different toys.

Nice piece of history a wonderful idea for the time. Sad that it had to end. Took me back, I saw a few familiar toys my friends had.

Kids enjoyed the various interactive activities and learning the history. Great place for a stop on a long journey.

Quite fascinating to see these memories in the flesh.
Shame they don't offer a discount for Super Gold Card holders as many if not most visitors will be older folk

Entry fee worth the price to see a glimpse of NZ history before everything was produced offshore.

This is a Fun Ho museum, so not your usual "I wanna see first Barbie museum"
Exhibition relates to the old New Zealand toy manufacturer and it is a reminder of times when everything was hand made.
Nothing too flashy, but entertaining.

Over priced and quite outdated. But if your into this sort of thing. It's a must. Maybe my parents will appreciate it more.

If parents take themselves and one child, it's $15. Not bad, if the museum was a tad more extensive. It takes but a few minutes to see it all and though interesting, it's a bit light on. My 7 year old was bored in less than 15 minutes and we had seen everything in that time. Glad it's there. We do support it's continuation, but wish it was much more. Cheers,

Kiwi kids brought up in the 70s/80s will remember Fun Ho! Toys. The place will bring back many happy memories.

If your a kiwi kid in the 70's or 80's you'll identify with a lot of the stuff here (myself). For the few dollars it cost to get in, it was cool. A nice history lesson of toy manufacturing in the 70's
