The Strong Museum also known as the National Museum of Play really is a glorified kids play zone. After driving quite a ways from Buffalo we were eagerly anticipating checking it out. I was really excited to check out cool toys I used to play with as a kid and show them to my kids but when we got to the ticket booth we were informed that there wasn't anything like that there. There were just some play zones for smaller kids and seats for parents to sit and zone out. It was also pretty pricy to get in and I wasn't prepared to shell out the big bucks to be sorely disappointed.
The biggest let down though was the Toy Hall of Fame. This was truly one of the highlights we were looking forward to on the trip. Unfortunately it's going through a major reconstruction and it's closed indefinitely. This is one of those times I'd wish I'd done a little more research....Ugh.
There was a cute carousel and a little diner but neither elicited very much excitement. And before you even ask, there was no gift shop. Wow...what a missed opportunity. My loss is your gain. Consider yourself warned.....
