The Toy Museum suits anyone who wants to understand Seiffen's woodwork before buying it, and it opens every day of the year from 10:00 to 17:00. The one trade-off is the adult price of €10.70. Children who come with a paying parent or grandparent go in free.
The museum stands on Seiffen's Hauptstraße in the same building as the tourist information, and its entrance opens straight onto the car park. Its floors follow the Erzgebirge's Christmas of light from the turned candle-carrying miners and angels of the 19th century to present-day wooden design. The cash desk and shop are on the first floor, and a lift serves the building. Ground-floor lockers take a €1 coin as a deposit.
Hours hardly change through the year. The doors open 10:00 to 17:00 daily, with 10:00 to 13:00 on 24 and 31 December and 13:00 to 17:00 on New Year's Day. A combined ticket with the Open-Air Museum at Hauptstraße 203 costs €16 for an adult. Guided tours need booking ahead on +49 37362 17019 and cost €85 for a group of up to 30.
Worth knowing
- Take the €16 combined ticket if you'll see the hoop-turning at the Open-Air Museum the same day.
- Students up to the age of 35 and apprentices pay the reduced €7 with proof.
