The Toy Collector is the result of years of collecting and, in the past two years, of conscious acquisition to ensure as broad a range of toys as possible. It is a display of toys & collectables through the ages designed to trigger memories and nostalgia whether you are 8 or 80!

The toys are not all old and they aren't all in pristine condition since we believe toys are meant to be played with and loved. We have loan collections from around New Zealand, donations from a wide range of people and of our own, fairly substantial collection from around the world as well. The displays are changed regularly so you will always see something new. There is a working model railway and by the end of 2016 there will also be a slot car set to play on.

We have a small shop where we sell second hand toys, models and collectables as well as NZ made lead figures from Regal Soldiers, a wide range of diecast vehicles, Playmobil and a full range of kits and related supplies. We also have an online store and you can buy vouchers for entry in advance online.

Pricing is $25 for a family (2Adults+3Children), $10 Adult, $5 child under 12
