Sarasota Toy Museum / Moosehead Toys and Comics

★★★★★

“Found this hidden gem today while driving up Beneva Road and stopped in. All I can say that this was the highlight of the weekend and an amazing surprise. The toy museum is definitely worth the entrance fee. I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood of the 70s and 80s. I loved seeing the vintage toys arranged from the various decades. Just everywhere you look from the lunch box collection, train locomotive, vintage Halloween costumes, Matchbox cars, vintage robots, Star Wars display, etc. What an impressive collection especially when I was told that 80% of the museum is from one man’s collection. WOW!”

“Amazing and unforgettable experience during our weekend getaway in Sarasota! Even four days later, I'm still thinking about it. The smell of the wood in the oldest exhibits brought such a nostalgic feeling. Seeing toys from every decade made me realize how much imagination and creativity children once developed through play — something that's slowly being replaced by social media and electronics. I will definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends, and I can't wait to visit again the next time we're back in Sarasota.”

“Made a trip here while on vacation in Bradenton as we have a couple toy nerds in the family. Was an awesome experience. There is a toy store with loads of vintage and newer toys,.comics, etc for sale and then you step through a vintage turn style - after buying a ticket - and walk around an epic vintage toy museum, categorized by decade as well as toy theme/item. Was really well done. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend about an hour looking at awesome toys.”

“Super cool toy museum and retail store. You could spend hours in here just looking at vintage toys and the railroad is hands down one of the coolest things I've seen. Will definitely be back, there's just too many cool things to see!”
