🏆 Family Action Verdict
The shophouse setting creates an intimate, home-gallery feel that keeps visits from feeling overwhelming. Adults find themselves absorbed by nostalgia while children are drawn to the interactive elements and hands-on play areas. Workshops like kite-making and kampong games add a participatory layer that makes repeat visits worthwhile.

“The museum is spread in a small 5-storey shophouse type of building opposite the iconic Raffles Hotel. It feels more like a private home-turned gallery. Well curated collections of toys that travel back in time. There is some play area where the family and play some games. Depending on your interest, it could make a quick 1 hour visit, or spread into a lazy and slow afternoon.”

“I enjoyed my time at the museum :) It was interesting to see a variety of traditional toys, some of which were part of my childhood growing up. I also attended the vday kite making workshop with my partner. The staff were all very friendly, shoutout to Anna for the warm welcome and hospitality :-)”

“We always enjoy visiting MINT with the kids - there’s always something new to discover, especially the unique vintage toy collections and their stories. We recently joined the Valentine’s Day kite-making activity and had such a lovely time together!”
