• Cash only at the ticket desk, since the museum takes no credit cards, so bring euros
• A spiral staircase to the ticket room, then an elevator serves the four exhibition floors
• An audio guide to download from the museum website, worth grabbing before you climb the tower

The Munich Toy Museum fills four floors of the Old Town Hall tower on Marienplatz with the private collection of the Ivan Steiger family, spanning four centuries of play. Kids can look at model railways, steam engines, tin toys, teddy bears, dolls and dollhouses, wooden toys, Barbies and a wall of robots. The small tower rooms make it a short visit, and an audio guide can be downloaded in advance.
