Wow, that looks like fun!"Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

More times than I can count, yes. It began as more of one lady's supercollection of old toys from the turn of the century on. Then they revamped it to be more attractive to kids coming and playing in very hands-on play environments. So, there are two sides to it. The bottom level is insanely cool play areas for the kids (and adults), a faux Wegmans grocery store where the little ones can shop with real but scaled-down shopping carts, fake food, but real checkout registers and conveyor belts and scanners. Insanely fun for the kids. Then there's a Sesame Street area that recreates certain aspects of the set of Sesame Street, some cool fixed characters from the show. There's a reading adventureland. There's a classic arcade game area. A Berenstein Bears land. There's a Butterfly garden. And then on the second floor there's a pretty amazing toy collection on display. I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out, but it is an amazing museum for kids and adults.Comment

I've been there, too. I grew up in the Rochester area. It's definitely worth seeing. Great for collectors, kids and both male and female parents. Amazing a mid-sized to small city like Rochester can support it.Comment
