Overall Rating:
MINT Museum of Toys is located beside Chjimes. My friend and I decided to go there on the day after Youth Day as we wanted to go somewhere interesting and different. We alighted at Cityhall MRT and walked a short distance to the museum.
We had a discount for the tix as we were students. So $7.50 per student. It’s the same price as the ticket for child! So cheap!
Inside the museum, we were fascinated by the amount of toys inside! Plus it’s all old toys, meaning they’re somewhat a kind of antique? Expensive, the toys.
There were 5 levels (including 1st level) open for visitors. Space characters, collectibles, childhood favorites, and characters.
We cam-whored a lot on the 4th level as there was not much people and a comfortable sofa for you to rest on. It was like being at home!
Basically, it was fun and interesting. So, head down to the MINT Museum of Toys now!

Mint (Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys) Museum of Toys @ 26 Seah Street is the world’s first purpose-built museum for toys. Showcasing an extensive collection of vintage toys, including rare and unique one-of-a-kind toys, that spans more than 25 countries over 100 years.
Although I had heard and read of this place but can’t didn’t find time to visit it, maybe also due to the ticket price. Since I was invited for the Yebber party thus I went ahead to attend the party, visit the museum for FREE!
I have a quick tour of the museum because the party had yet started. I paid a visit to level 2 - 4 to check out the many antique and retro toys which includes Popeye, Batman & Robin, Ultraman, Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, Tintin, Flinestone, Snoopy, Inspector Gadget, Dennis, Beatles, Darkies, Matchbox car collectibles and other kampung toys!
Bring back many fond memories!

On Friday, it was an honour to be invited to Yebber’s 1st anniversary event. The event was held in Mint (Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys) – Museum of Toys, across from Raffles Hotel. Showcasing an extensive collection of vintage toys from all over the world, it is regarded as one of the finest in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia. At the basement was Mint Café – Asia’s very first toy-themed café.
I arrived early and did a quick tour of the place before the event started at the 3rd Level and was greeted with toys and characters that I was familiar with – from Popeye to Ultraman, to retro Matchbox car collectibles, Kampung toys and even the Beatles.
All the guests were later treated to a sumptuous buffet dinner consisting of Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Seafood Platter (Calamari, Dory Fillet, & Scallops), Bruschetta (Wild Mushrooms, Tomato Checca & Salmon Cream), and Linguini with Crab Sauce.
Personally, I thought the Wild Mushroom Bruschetta was the best – the toast was crispy and the mushrooms were flavoursome. I bet the salmon cream ones were just as great but unfortunately, I didn’t managed to lay my hands on them before they were cleared out. Oh, the desserts were pretty lovely as well, especially the Strawberry Panna Cotta - the sourish berries was a delightful complement to the sweet pudding.
