A family collection of toys and childhood memories / CALLANDER
Hamilton Toy Museum
Look through themed rooms of collected toys, from model vehicles and science-fiction favourites to dolls and bears. The small family-run museum on Main Street rewards curiosity about how people played across generations. It is a display collection rather than a large hands-on play centre, and its seasonal opening should shape your visit.
Before you go
Confirm opening before a special journey, particularly near the end of October or around family-business closures.
