The Battle of Hoth
Every time I went to WizWorld, this organization brought a diorama to advertise their existence. So Somara and I finally checked the place out. It’s located downtown and on the East side of the interstate in a modest-sized building.
Overall it was a fantastic trip down memory lane. The place has extensive collections of the heavy hitters: Kenner’s Star Wars line, Hasbro’s GI Joe from the Eighties, Mattel’s He-Man and the rather recent Simpsons action figures. There’s also video games over the years, starting from the Magnavox system which was just a series of overlays you put on the TV. Many toys are arranged into dioramas but some are just on display to check out.
As for kids going? They may be bored while their parents gush on about what mom and dad had or haven’t seen in decades. The scavenger hunt may keep the children entertained but I think they’ll be frustrated over the lack of things they can touch/play with. Still, I highly recommend the place. If you’re into toys like I am, it can take over an hour to look over their collections. The museum also takes donations which are tax deductible. Somara and I are glad we can find a new home for old toys we’d like to clear out in reducing our clutter.
Tickets are cheaper if you buy them online.
