Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum 144 Kruger Street, Wheeling, WV 26003

"this is such an awesome place with so much nostalgia. i did not expect there to be so much to see! from the largest peanuts collection in the world, to the intricate train sets, and all the toys for the kids to play with, this place is a gem and we will definitely be back when we have more time! also despite being such an old building it is handicap accessible which is a huge plus. you just have to ask for the elevator and they’ll get you where you need to go. great owners, super knowledgeable and really loves his history. and i love that it’s affordable! we came home with many toys from the gift shop because we could actually afford to do so. loved everything about this place."

"Great museum with a diverse selection of historic items. There are model trains here of various scales, the Marx Toys section, puzzles, board games, knex, and more. Many of the displays are interactive for the younger crowd. Lots of Marx Toys which was fun to see especially the huge Big Loo robot. If you are a Peanuts fan there's a whole level dedicated to that collection. Very friendly curator too. The museum skews to a younger demographic but I feel older adults would actually enjoy this place most. The museum is in a repurposed historic school building with beautiful tin ceilings and moulding. Lots of the original details of the building remain down to the art deco era restrooms. For those musically inclined, I found about 5 different antique pianos sprinkled about the place. Fun to play each of them while appreciating the workmanship and "old timey" tuning they've all developed. If I was a local I'd go multiple times. As an out of towner, its an easy recommendation for anyone going through the Pittsburgh -> Wheeling area."

"The first and best toy museum so far I've ever see I love seeing all the toys from different eras, including a few from my own childhood.I also love the free pinball machines. Playing those games was awesome. My favorite room so far was the doll room, the miniature room, and of course the game room . I also, the kinetic room was good. I also like their little mascot named Loo, a cat that lives there. That's why I rate it five stars it's like walking back in your childhood in that museum great place to visit"

"This place is so awesome. So many toys that I had as a kid. Plus all the interaction, free pinball .I smiled the whole time there. Great staff , they where so easy to talk to , truly wonderful people. I found some rare Batman pieces in their gift shop."

"Visiting the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum is a fun and nostalgic experience. The old-school toy and train museum is literally located inside a former school, giving it a very quaint ambiance. This place had several rooms full of old dolls, action figures, toy vehicles, pin ball machines, Christmas villages, legos, antique artifacts, and so much more. Each room had a different theme and can bring back so many nostalgic memories for people of all ages. The most impressive part was the massive model train sets that went through different themed villages. There was even a model amusement park with train roller coasters. The staff there is also very friendly and willing to answer all questions. It was a very fun experience and one I would highly recommend for people of all ages."
