We’re pretty familiar with large things here in Missouri. After all, Missouri’s home to a whole lot of the world’s largest things – from a toilet paper roll to a goose. You probably won’t be surprised to learn, then, that we can always visit the World’s Largest Toy Museum in Missouri, which boasts a collection of more than one million toys.
Step into a time capsule when you stroll through the front door of The World's Largest Toy Museum in Branson, a blast from the past that just might make you feel like a kid again.
Chances are you'll see many of your favorite childhood toys - like Mickey and Minnie Mouse - in the collections that feature toys that date back to the 19th century.
That's just the start of the fun, though. In addition to the Toy Museum, explore the World of Checkers Museum, the National BB Gun Museum, and the Stearnsy Bear Museum.
The kiddos are pretty much guaranteed a good time, too, especially with interactive activities, including playing with Lincoln Logs and racing cars on a Hot Wheels track.
