About Museo de Historia del Juguete
Comment by Bravissima about Museo de Historia del Juguete:
The Museum of Toy History, located at La Rbla. 50, CP 17220, San Feliu de Guíxols, is a charming place that instantly transports you back to childhood. Despite its size, the collection is exceptionally well-maintained and organized, featuring toys from 1880 to 1980. Customer service is commendable; the staff is very friendly and provides a guided introduction that helps visitors better understand the exhibit. The experience is perfect for the whole family, allowing for nostalgic memories and an enjoyable educational tour.
The museum also boasts a beautiful modernist building that is a draw in itself. It includes a scare tunnel that adds a fun twist to the visit. Although there is an admission fee, the value for money is excellent given the variety of toys on display. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an entertaining and heartwarming experience.

an adorable museum in San Feliu. it was previously in a beautiful but unsuitable small private hotel. today, there is more collection. the museum is small, but it has very nice pieces, mainly Spanish. the reception is excellent and very kind, but 100% Catalan ;) a must-visit.

Fantastic experience:
Very beautiful exhibitions of toys from the 19th to the 20th century and the hosts are extremely kind.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
Collection of toys of all kinds that spans from 1880 to 1980, approximately. At the beginning, the responsible person gives you a brief introduction to indicate the periods and the predominant materials that the toys are made of; it is very informative. Recommended for all kinds of audiences; the adults evoke other times and the children discover that we also enjoyed without the current gadgets. It is located on a ground floor and first floor, not very big but very crowded. It has restrooms, an elevator, and a souvenir shop. It is not free.
Translated from Catalan
Positive experience:
It's a pity, the museum is no longer like before...
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
We were there in July 2024. The museum is small but it is made with care and attention to detail. The two people who served us, in charge of the museum, treated us wonderfully and allowed us to return the next day to finish the visit because we arrived a little before they closed. Great location in the historic center. The only downside is finding parking in St. Feliu de Guíxols but that doesn’t depend on the museum. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A very nice experience for the whole family. We saw the evolution of toys from the oldest to the most modern. I highly recommend it... also, the last room is very interesting! A place where we really had a great time!! Much better than I expected!!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very interesting!! But the entrance is a bit high, €6 per person and no discounts for large families. The visit is very heartwarming, taking you back to childhood memories. I miss explanatory panels of the eras; they give you a small brochure upon entry, but with such tiny print that it's hard to read. The building is also a luxury to visit, a modernist mansion with impressive floors and ceilings. I recommend it.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
We went on Sunday, they open at 11:00, the museum is an old house from the village with 3 floors that still retains its charm, with its ceilings and chimneys in its rooms. The museum itself is small because you can see it in 1 hour, but honestly it is very nice to visit, they have all kinds of antique toys, also on the second floor there is a horror cabin that enhances the experience. To park in the area, it is better to do it on the promenade because inside the village it is impossible. After the visit, on the right corner of the museum, there is a very good ice cream parlor, and if not, there are many restaurants around.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A collection of toys from the last 100 years very well preserved and that in some cases brought us back to very nostalgic memories of when we were kids.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Great welcome, which also speaks French. The museum is very nice in a typical building, the children, ages 5 and 8, loved it. A nice surprise at the end with the horror maze. At 6 euros per adult, it is a very good value for money. Count on half an hour for the visit.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
A highly recommended visit. Impressive modernist building. And the toys take you back to childhood. Very good treatment, they guide you at the entrance and explain how to do the visit so you don't miss any details. In 1 hour you have made the visit, but it depends if you are detail-oriented or not. It is adapted for people who, like me, need elevators, since the building has 2 floors to visit. The building is very beautiful, it is already a visit in itself.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Very friendly welcome. The children really enjoyed it. A visit to do with grandparents to share anecdotes and memories about old toys. The setting in which the toys are displayed is very pleasant to explore. A beautiful building. I recommend it!

It is underappreciated. Spectacular museum to travel through time and live memories. Fun experiences involving the children. Toys from the 1800s and 1900s to the present day. The historic building is full of charm. Two floors of the museum. Lastly, a haunted passage that is both terrifying and fun....lots of laughter and screams hahahaha Highly recommended to visit. Prices: adults €6 and children €5 Located in the city center pedestrian area.

Beautiful museum, perfect location on a pedestrian street very close to the historic center. The attention was perfect and there was a prior explanation before the visit. Modest price according to age and situation. Located in a Modernist building that is accessible. History that lives within historical toys. Their evolution throughout history. The last floor was a surprise we didn't expect. Perfect place and a must-visit.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Small museum of ancient toys. We were welcomed by the owner of the place, who speaks very good French. The museum is a bit small, but there is always room for more for the pleasure of the eyes. The museum is located on 3 levels, in a very well-decorated house. The entrance is not excessive, it costs 7 € per person from the age of 12. I recommend it.
Translated from French
There are 2,200 to 2,300 pieces on display. And there were more than 8,000 in the reserve.

Historic museum with a wide collection of classic toys. Charming building. Price 6€ adults
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
We had a great time with the kids, especially solving the labyrinth of the Egyptian tomb on the second floor. For adults, the museum experience is a look back into the world of toys; you will surely recognize some of your toys from the past. Depending on your age, you will appreciate a different selection of toys, but everyone is represented. A very friendly gentleman attended to us, who got along very well with the little ones, encouraging them to visit the museum by immersing them in intriguing situations.

Fantastic experience:
An authentic gem! The collection of a passionate person who has gathered years of research in a delightful little palace, organized over three floors by era and themes. It mainly consists of toys from the Iberian area, but they are very well preserved and at times serve as historical memorabilia as well as cultural artifacts. The palace itself is in the Art Nouveau style, a specifically Catalan style. Delightful!

Exceptional collection of predominantly vintage toys, with special dedication to mechanical tin toys. Cardboard and wooden toys, some in their original boxes, and an exhaustive collection of trains and dolls. Interesting and fun is the tunnel of terror area with pieces recovered from the Montjuïc amusement park. I miss more material from the '60s and '70s, but in general, both the location and the collection are highly recommended.

In addition to giving us a thorough explanation of all the toy collections, the owner also provided us with all kinds of information and details about the buildings where the museum is located.
