I really enjoyed it in here due to the fact that I'm into toys and games and loved seeing ones that I used to own (and some I still do) from the owners amazing collection! I also had a great chat with one of the owners about my Cluedo and Jabba The Hutt collection which made my day! It's not a massive museum but I look forward to future visits to see if anything has been added and expanded. Drop in, take your time looking around and have a nice chat. You won't regret it!
Amazing New Retro Museum in Keswick! What a fantastic little find! This new museum in Keswick is packed with nostalgia — loads of retro and 80s toys, décor, nicnacs, bikes, computers, dolls, and so much more. The space isn’t huge, but it’s absolutely bursting with things to look at. The lady running it was incredibly friendly and informative, and she told us that most of the collection actually comes from her own home, which makes it even more special. It really feels like a personal passion project brought to life. If you love anything vintage or nostalgic, its definatley worth the visit!
Retro Zone I visited this museum on 23rd December and it’s quite fitting that it was just before Christmas, as my visit felt like every Christmas I had as a kid, and so much more. It’s amazing! Hard to put into a small review, this place is just magical, wonderful - simply JOY, it made me feel… ALIVE. Anyone who grew up in the 70s and 80s will find all the toys they had and all those they wanted or had forgotten about. The hosts Linda and Aaron were lovely, great to chat to and so passionate and full of stories about their collection, which was nothing short of incredible. Just so many memories, what a time to have been young. I encourage everyone to travel far and wide to visit this, it has to be seen to be believed!
