Anyone staying in a Buffalo hotel should pay a visit to the city's Toy Town Museum, a magical wonderland filled with much-loved toys from over the years.

A paradise for children and a haven in which adults can reconnect with their inner youth, the museum features a number of nostalgic permanent exhibitions, as well as special events and creative shows.

It is open Mondays to Saturdays, between the hours of 10:00 and 16:00 local time, and is free for all those wishing to learn about the history of toys.

Among the highlights are a permanent Fisher-Price Toys exhibit and an open art gallery which contains original artwork from many classic toys in their earliest stages of design and production.

Toy Town Museum also houses a theatre that shows a large selection of toy-related films and a 12-room antique doll house that has been kept in pristine condition.

There is an educational resource library containing a treasure-trove of information for collectors, and a toy train - the Toy Town Express - that travels throughout the entire museum.
