A few months ago, the Austin Toy Museum opened in East Austin, showcasing collector’s items and vintage toys. Most of the items on view at the museum are from the 1980s, but a number of the featured toys date all the way back to the early 1900s. The museum prides itself on being a very interactive and hands-on museum—the space even has arcade games that visitors can play. Stop by to play vintage Ms. Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and more.
Admission to the museum is extremely affordable; tickets purchased online are only $8 for adults, $5 for senior citizens and military, and $3 for children. Anyone who is looking to get rid of old toys can make a donation to the Austin Toy Museum—the museum is always looking for donations to help make it one of the biggest toy museums in the country. The museum is an easy spot to visit for residents of Lamar Union since it’s just over two miles away.
