Toy Museum

The Toy and Miniature Museum in Stellenbosch is a world of enchantment that invites visitors to take a whimsical journey through the corridors of childhood nostalgia. The museum houses a diverse collection of 1:12 scale miniatures, room boxes, antique dolls, dinky cars, and cuddly toys. One of its most extraordinary exhibits is a lifelike 1:12 scale miniature of South Africa's famous Blue Train, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in Africa. The miniature train embarks on a breathtaking journey, starting from a tiny Stellenbosch and winding its way through the Cape Winelands, past mountains, and into the Karoo, before returning home. The museum also features intricate and detailed exhibits, including a matchbox-sized 1920s kitchen and a stunning replica of the Uitkyk Wine Estate farmhouse. With over 2,000 miniature cars, some of which are valuable dinky toys from the 1930s, this museum is a treasure trove of wonder that is sure to delight both children and adults
