Reviews of The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures (Museum)

Cirilo Foot

I was pleasantly surprised on my visit to the miniatures museum. You get a free audio setup that attaches to your cell phone. There are many exhibits that coordinate with the audio feed. There are so many rooms of miniatures, with so many different themes, sizes, etc. The detail is quite amazing. It is a fun hour or two exploring. If you are in Tucson it is worth a visit.

Sonia Cowen

Happy 10th anniversary, Mini Time Museum! I love the exhibits! How do they make all those little things?!? Lots of young ones enjoying all the activities. Good family fun! Don't miss this amazing place!

Dian Delgado Pederson

Iots to see and I was a nice environment

Tim McHugh

Very nice and different kind of museum. My wife loves it. Doesn't take long to go through all the exhibits. One visit was enough for me.

Tom Parsoneault

Excellent museum of miniature things. Views into rooms throughout history, most are about 1/12 scale. Some fully complete houses. These are all handcrafted and very realistic looking. I haven't seen anything quite like it before. Nice facility, free parking. Takes about 2 hours to see.

Andreina Pierro

I have enjoyed and collected miniatures since I was a little girl, so when somebody told me about a miniature museum I was delighted to check it out. It is amazing! The entire setup is fantastic as well as exceedingly educational. A great place to visit for both young and old alike. Well worth the money! To make the most of it I would plan on spending at least two to three hours there minimum, there's so much to see and you don't want to feel rushed. It's great because they let you take pictures too.

Yolanda Smith

Way cooler than what I thought it was going to be!

laura cantu

Great for all ages. They usually have new exhibits I usually check the website to see if there are any. They have student and teacher discounts.

Sabrina Saunders

Great way to stay out of this Tucson heat and still keep the kids entertained. Small place but still managed to spend 3 hours there. The staff in the back are super nice, Maria let my 4 boys take a look and feel for all the miniature things she makes. Also very informative of all the displays. While one of the other staff with such a great imagination took the kids on a seeking adventure which keep them searching. We sealed it off with arts and crafts totally free, they make tool box and tools out of household items. Very neat place we will be visiting again.

Starla Pinster

Such a wonder and delight!

Longuseless U

It is a nice little place with so much to look at. We had a good time wandering.

N Robinson

The idea is very hard to describe, but it is 100% worth the visit. You just have to check it out for yourself. Man and women will both enjoy it. Children too

Chaz Humphrey

This is a RARE TREAT for the ENTIRE family. It's like being in another world. Exhibitions are always changing.

Barb DiMarco

Wow. The detail is amazing and the window boxes take you right back in time. My grandkids love it but I had to return just to be able to take time studying the images.

G.G. vlogs

It was so wonderful, if you haven't been there before I'd suggest this place to whoever loves living the experience of a mini world of creation+imagination being put together.

cara laney

Fun for all ages. Very impressive collection.

Haylli Stanley

Only been here once many years ago but I SOOO enjoyed it. I love mini things I should be going again soon

William Kennett

Even a grown man can enjoy it. Loved it

Linda Mackin

A must see anytime you're in Tucson. So many little things! You can't see it all in one visit and they have changing special exhibits too. Very nice and well run. There is a wheelchair available if there is anyone in your party with mobility issues.

Jennifer Tobin

Good place to go a couple times to see everything.

Judie Pokakaa

I love this museum! It is beautiful. I got a membership because you can't see it all in one day and notice the details in every house and room box. There is a Christmas village in the floor. The kids that were there notice so much more detail than I did.

Denny Crafton

One of my friends took me here so I can speak knowledgeably This will amuse and ente tfd tain the child within

Sam V

Cool experience. A bit overpriced. Fun for family, if a bit boring

Toni Smith

Nice! The kids loved it and there was something here for everyone.

Travis Spence

Interesting and fun place to spend a few hours.

Rita Georges

Adorable place! The kids loved and my husband and I did too. It is a small place but if you take your time looking at each display it could take you up to 2 hours. It took us about 45 minutes with the kids because they wanted to move fast from one display to the next as they were excited about them all!

Nancy De Young

Very nice place to visit. Allow about 1 hour to really explore the houses. We loved the doll house that we could play with.

Cami Ward

Fun place to explore, many detailed models and vignettes of magical, historical, and fantasy themes. Good place for kids (but maybe not the very young, no hands-on exploration here) bring a stool so your kiddos can see the displays. #MilitaryDiscounts #museumsoftucson #tucsonhiddentreasure

Barbara Fredricks

You'd think it's for kids but I went there with another adult and it was fascinating. I wish here were places to rest along the way. We spent two+ hours of stand up and bend over to look closely time with no place to rest and enjoy time.

Julie Euber

We had our wedding and reception at the museum and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. All of our guests fell in love with the place, and its charming and enchanted look made our special day feel even more magical. Emily was amazing to work with. She was thoughtful about our budget and worked hard to find solutions to any problems we came across or could potentially encounter. No matter the event - I highly recommend this museum. You won't be disappointed!

Amy Swann

Friendly staff! Thank you for honoring teachers with free admission. A wide variety of displays. Some displays need better lighting and I would have enjoyed some modern minitures. Overall a fantastic rainy day place to visit.

Anthony McCormack

This is a great place...once. There are so many fascinating and unique models to choose from to look at. Some are absolutely exquisite. Some are abysmal. Regardless, I believe it's worth a visit. I took wife and kiddos and we spent a couple of hours looking around and checking all the models out. I think they have done a pretty good job of laying things out and providing a lot of variety. Time periods are covered well so I feel there is something that will appeal to everyone. We went on Thursday so the price was right. It was $24 for all of us and we are 4.

Brock McCaman

This place is wonderful. We enjoyed it so much we became members.

pia van der schoor

Love the magical aspects and seing kids faces light up

Lashel Sophia

This place is always a curious delight, but this past weekend (3 September 2019) was their 10th anniversary! At the front desk I was surprised to find out that it was free, and then as we walked around the museum, there were live fairies floating around and live music and interesting arts and crafts... an already magnetically enchanting place was in full magical bloom!

Tina LeBouthillier

I would have given this museum a 5 because of the awesome displays they had, but the lighting was so dim that we could barely see the detail in many cases, let alone read the descriptions. Some displays were not lighted at all. It is worth going to see, but if we could actually see the miniatures it would help a lot!

Josh W

Very cool! Lots of amazing intricate pieces from all over the world

Rev Dean Jones

Incredible, remarkable miniatures, 1 even from. 1855. They are all in great condition. You can get lost in all of the incredible displays !

Olivia Sutton

I found this museum by happy accident.From the unusual front door to the magical explanation of the miniature world, to the placement of stools for smaller visitors,I as brought into an amazing world.Every turn around the corner was filled with wonderful delights.I saw there was a classroom with on going classes and enjoyed the gift shop and the women who worked the front desk.Put this on your list ,a great afternoon to stay coolant enjoy the mini displays,

Taylor Riley

Super fun for a couple hours. There is a kind of scavenger hunt for a fairy to keep children occupied if needed.

Julie Arteaga

So intricate, beautiful.

Larry Duffield

Very entertaining and well done, easily worth several hours of your time.

Rachel Nicholson

Loved all the detailed minuratures! Friendly people and amazing art! Must see for all ages!

Anthony Polanco

It was really cool nice and air condition.

Gay Menditto

More to see here than I imagined. An amazing collection...Great display!

AV Whitby

It's a great place to bring all lovers of small artwork. The intricacy of the pieces is impressive.

Dan Kruszewski

A fun family adventure. There is so much to see and explore here. We had a great time.

lila lila

My daughter and I just love this place. Both the miniatures and the automata exhibits are wonderful.

Holly Hotty

Rated 5 stars as of now ONLY BECAUSE i sooooo want to go here!!! Along with My mom and daughter the 3 of us just love any and everything miniature. I hope to one day visit this amazing place with them. My daughter even has her own little mini village she has spent many hours creating herself( ideas are hers but the making of her village has included over a dozen of our family friends over the last 5 years!)

Nicholas Urman

There is a wide variety of stuff to see here. I was most excited for the fantasy room, because I love that kind of stuff, but I was mostly disappointed that most of those displays were collections of mass-manufactured childrens' toys. There were a few imaginative artistic dioramas in the fantasy section, but not many. The rest of the museum is filled with all different types of miniatures, most depicting different styles of architecture or interior decoration. The style and quality varies widely, but even someone who generally does not have an interest in this sort of thing could probably find enough stuff to keep them interested for an hour or so.

Monice Kaczorowski

This place is awe inspiring - We added it to the list of Tucson treasures for our visiting guests

Grace C.

I am glad I went, It was a good experience. I liked the chocolatiers, the witches at the cauldron, and some of the antique displays were fun, and I really liked the temporary display of mechanical crank objects, absolutely delightful.

Summer Paige

Lots to see! Engaging games for little ones that may would have rushed through and missed so much. My littles loved the fairy door too.

Leah Spencer

So fun! I wasn't sure what to expect but it ended up being really interesting. Many of the dollhouses have characters doing hilarious things so you really have to look at what's going on to enjoy it. There is also 100 year old miniatures (mostly from German manufacturers) which I thought were fascinating. I got there with an hour and half left before they closed, but I could have stayed much longer. They currently have an exhibit with carved pencil tips which were also super impressive. Definitely go!

Arya Mace

Very fun place to visit. Kid friendly as well. They offer student and teacher discounts so have your IDs with you. It takes a bit of time to walk through and look at everything so plan on being there a while.

piggylovesdragon

Fun place! How it all comes together is beyond me.

Dawn Degara

We where four hours me my son had Awesome time smile so much

Patricia Hanley

Enthralling displays of the art of miniatures. Helpful staff.

Flynn Carey

I found this place on Atlas Obscura. It has a ton of dollhouses, miniatures, and a lot of history. It is very well curated with a lot of descriptions and background information on each of the displays.

Nicole Petrokas

This place us GREAT! We took the kids and it was their favorite part of the trip. My 7 year old had a blast finding all of the hidden fairies and my 12 year old loved the detail. Takes about an hour and a half with kids. Well worth the trip and a great value. Even adults would enjoy it, the detail work is amazing.

Nora Murry

We went there on my birthday. I was expecting something for kids only but it was great and fun!! I recommend having at least 2 hours to spend here. It's an amazing and magical place!

Kristin Gilman

Lovely little museum. Takes about 2 hours or more to go through if you like to study the little rooms and houses.

Candy Gustafson

Wonderful display of miniatures, very artful. A walk through time, that is well worth the cost of admission.

Suekay Perry

Best place to visit. No regrets. I recommend this place to visit. It so beautiful and blows your mind. My grandchildren and I enjoyed every minute.

SmartSysta Knows

So cute! Pros: This little place is so big, and offers a lot to explore. I was in a trance the entire time. The docents were correct when they said you have to come back several times. It was exciting and overwhelming all at the same time, but in a good way of course. I am already planning my next visit. Cons: The guess seating around the exhibits are limited, and this made it a little tough for those of us with disabilities and physical challenges. Overall, a wonderful museum to visit nonetheless.

Carly Golding

We thoroughly enjoyed this museum; such a unique and fun way to spend an afternoon. We spent about 2 hours there, rushing a bit on the last half because we had somewhere to be. Absolutely recommend.

Sean

Great mini museum. So much intricate work has been put in to make all these pieces. Audio tours are available through your phone, make sure you bring your headphones. The museum is very clean and well organized. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Dan Inman

Amazing what they can do with miniature things. Such patience

E Simm

I was surprised at how quickly I became entranced with the miniatures, since it wasn't my idea to visit. Not only are you surrounded by teeny works of art, but the staff can provide you with magnifying glasses and flashlights to see things more easily. The displays themselves are creative.

Elizabeth Hicks

The Mini Time Machine Museum is the only one of its kind that this reviewer knows of. We visit Tucson regularly to visit family members, and were delighted to be able to pay a second visit to this museum of amazing miniatures. With an extensive collection of more than 400 doll houses, or more accurately, this exquisite collection of one-of-a-kind miniature works of art, it is essential to allow at least 1–2 hours when visiting the Mini Time Machine. Many new items have been added since our first visit over 10 years ago. The collection includes vintage houses dating back to the 1700's, real miniature silver tea sets, houses representing historic time periods, locations around the country and around the world. Well worth a visit when in Tucson.

Derek Kauanoe

This is a must-see attraction in Tucson Arizona. It is unlike any Museum you have ever been to before. I've gone two times in less than 4 months, and I wish I got a membership. I have never seen such amazing detail on miniature models like …

Torrin Dufforsmith

This is an impressive collection of miniatures and dollhouses! I've never seen this much tiny stuff under one roof. While some of it is sort of forgettable (I can see the full range of Department 56 Christmas village pieces at a store), others are unbelievable -- tiny works of art rendered in stunning detail. I would say plan on no more than about two hours -- that's enough time to see most if not all of it, and honestly, after two hours of looking at ornate dollhouses and tiny artifacts, you'll reach a saturation point where your eyes start crossing and uncrossing and your brains start leaking out your ears. But in the meantime, it is an amazing experience!!

A L H

This place is amazing! I was sceptical at first, thinking it wouldn't keep the interest of a child, but I was wrong. The offer a scavenger hunt for the kids to do, and it was exciting to see the joy each time we found the fairy. My only complaint is that some displays are too high for a child. I might recommend a step base along the displays so kids cam fully experience every display.

Azdimondkat Azdiamondkat

This museum is not like any other it is amazing and very well planned out scenes from another time (not modern time) but still very nicely detailed and displayed in separate rooms. The museum is clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. …

Bala Ganesan

Awesome connection of miniature sets. I highly recommend a visit to this place.

Melissa Jahnke

Fantastic... we used the private room and it was great, they were so kind and set up everything for us including speakers for sound.. feels like your in another world..

Anna Harrison Griessel

A wonderful museum. A hidden gem in Tucson

David Jackson

It was fun. Had a scavenger hunt to find stuff. Will definitely go again when up I the area again.

Taifa Cook

Great time spent

Reannon Barajas

Always a fun adventure

Javier Robles

Great plece for kids and adults.

Bill Stanton

Very cool place. Much better than expected. The 'enchanted' area is really cool for kids. Definitely more kid friendly than expected. Only knock, if you are going to build a huge tree with fairy windows in it, in a kid friendly area, why put a sign on it telling kids not to climb on it?

CS DeWildt

Had a lot of fun here today. Was impressed by the facility, staff, and exhibits. My one suggestion would be to put in some footstools or small stairs in front of the higher exhibits for short kids. It was great though. Will visit again.

Karen Kosies

Always a fun place to take the granddaughter.

pecosriver 2

Very nice. Wanted more. Allow at least 1 hr..

Lindsay

Very well done displays of doll houses and other miniature figurines and scenes. The level of atristy is very impressive. Good for older kids and doll house lovers. We spent about an hour there so the $9 admission each was a little high. Overall, a fun place to check out on a hot afternoon in Tucson.

Mary Nelson

My grown sons and daughter in law all went as well as me. It was fascinating. So many more exhibits than I expected. The stories behind the pieces were really interesting. I would definitely recommend it. I will go again.

stephen goetting

Excellent museum. Incredible detail work

Debbie hamm

This museum is amazing and not to be missed. If you are facinated by teeny tiny realistic anything you could spend 4 or five hours here. More if you read all of the displayed descriptions. Worthy stop for some indoor fun.

Elías Fierro

Tiny tiny little tiny things everywhere! The detail and quality is amazing. Much if it actually details history and development of the ages because people have been building miniatures for hundreds of years.

David Barefield

This is a phenomenal museum. I have never seen so many miniature houses and villages. Every room brings a smile to your face and a sense of wonder at the scene before you. It is fun to watch the children's faces as they view the exhibits. You'll want to return to see the details you missed on the first visit.

Crystal Firestone

This place is interesting, at the start of the tour I was very disappointed, but it vastly improved by the end. You start with a video, which for some reason is done at an adult standing height, when children would find the video enchanting. Weird too, because the video seems geared toward children. The first room, the enchanted tree one, has some nice exhibits, but majority just seem like someone's collection of like baby dragons for example, nothing handcrafted. As you move through the rest of the rooms though, there is some truly impressive workmanship in almost all of the remaining exhibits.

Amber Christen

I took my staff and clients with special needs it was very neat and nice and cool inside staff was very nice also

Steve Thomas

I visited with my nephew and his daughter, who is eleven, and we all had a great time. We started with the special carved pencil lead exhibit (early 2018), which was simply amazing, and then did the tour with a docent. I would recommend the tour, and then go back to any places that you want to explore in more depth. A truly magical place for children, even for the grown up ones.

Donna Smith

What a fascinating place especially for hobbyists. Much more than i ever expected

Leticia Freitag

So many different displays!

Kailyn Harwick

Was a pretty cool place we went with cultural passes from the library, but I wouldn't have played to go in.

Sara Hall

Great place to visit with the family especially younger children. See incredible works of art that create the magical miniatures of many different themes and atmosphere to open your imagination. They also have rotating exhibits to see other incredibly detailed works of miniature art.

Amy Rasmussen

I was there for a wedding. Fun and unique venue.

Leah Cox

We attended a child's birthday party here. It was well planned and they had fun activities for the children to do. They also had a museum scavenger hunt which so there children really enjoyed. It was a great trip overall. The reason I'm rating low is that was all ruined within three last minute of being there. Upon leaving my son noticed a fairy at the entryway. Myself and another family couldn't see it, so he proceeded to point to where he saw the fairy. At which point, the shop clerk clapped aggressively about six times at him, as if he were done sort of animal. When I inquired to the clapping, thinking no one would actually reprimand a child that way, she said loudly, no touching! That is no way to treat a child. She could have just as easily said, please don't touch, but instead she acted more immature than any of the children there, and was disrespectful. I will never go back. Please train your personnel in how to treat children in an appropriate and respectful manner.

Craftsmanship and artistry at its finest! Whatever your age, prepare yourself to be amazed.

AccessibleTravel.Online

Excellent accessibility and such a gem to visit! Would love to go back. Very friendly staff. If you love all these tiny works of art, created in wood, cotton, even silver, you must go see miniature museums. It is a world of wonder.

Meg Garcia

To many pictures to share but very interesting and cool to see.

Karthik S

Great place. Must visit. Pay attention to the to details.

Dana Gilmore

Amazing works of miniature art! So many details from many artists. Incredible silver smithing into miniature housewares. Amazingly accurate historical details from different eras (as far as I can tell). Miniature costumes, figurines, architecture, and so much more! Something for everyone!

Jennifer Fontaine

I love little tiny it was very installation

Yolanda Odom

What a sweet surprise this was! They were having a Dalton Ghetti (and 2 other artists I can't remember the names of, sorry) exhibit which was absolutely amazing! Thankfully they provided magnifying glasses so you could actually see the sculptures but there were some that I could not see even with them! The rest of the museum was also amazing. Is this the largest collection of this kind in the world? Rooms and rooms and rooms of miniature houses and figures and models of all kinds. Fascinating and fun. Don't go if you don't like screaming children.

David Aldrich

This place is amazing. The time it took to create these. The detail is incredible.

American Girl

If you love miniatures this is an absolute must. I could have spend 2 weeks in this museum. The variety of doll houses is huge. This visit was very inspirational.

Rae

Very cool place! Good for all ages and fascinating.

darth shellious

Loved coming here for the anniversary!

Amy Ostrander

This place is great for all ages...kids like the fairy hunt and whimsy, and adults can appreciate the antiquity and craftsmanship of the dollhouses and miniatures from all over the world. It's a great destination in the summer heat.

Dani S

So much to see and such a cute place! We had a nice time.

John Anderson

This is like a time machine. So many displays covering so many topics and eras. We spent a lot of time looking at the most beautiful homes, stores, places in minute detail.

Jackie Rodriguez

A place where you leave your cares at the door!

Jeremy Nagle

A wonderful experience. The guided tour was great & full of fun information. The attention to detail is unbelievable. There are little worlds inside of even smaller worlds. A great place to spend a few hours. I'm definitely coming back.

Wendy Costello

I can’t get over how beautiful these displays are. The detail is absolutely incredible! What a beautiful collection! I only wish I had more time today since I had a plane to catch. I hope to return to Tucson soon, I will definitely be visiting the museum again!

Jennie Lopez

Amazing minatures on display. Nice laid back atmosphere and reasonably priced. Will def be back

Ms. Freeman

This was an impressive museum. Patience and attention to detail, of time period, size ratios, and recreation of a scene. It really was amazing to see what one can do with their hands.

Jim Coursey

If it's a time machine it feels like it goes back about 20-30 years for most of the displays. Nice for kids and others who are into dollhouses, of limited interest otherwise. The Automata display (mechanical doll houses) was cool but there was so little of it. Most of the museum feels like it came straight from a Walmart.

Sky Highwind

Amazing place! Worth going!

Charles Stigger

Quite a fun and interesting experience. The detail of some of these miniatures is phenomenal. Loved the parabolic ceiling planetarium room. Left with a lot of ideas. This type of place would definitely be fun in Vegas

Rena Betts

So many displays and so much fun

Callum Robbins

Quaint little place! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are eager to make your experience more fulfilling in any way they can. I learned that there's a whole culture of miniatures that has existed for hundreds of years. I had no idea! They also have a great holiday display for Halloween and Christmas. Will visit again!

Robert Neal-westfall

Took my wife for her first time here she love it the enchanted realm she like the dragons and fairies

Ramon Perez

I definitely recommend this. Beautiful exhibits. We stayed for about two hours.

Cinda Courson

My grandchildren never tire of this place. They see new things and use their imagination each and every time we visit.

Benjamin Wishall

Go on Thursdays because it is half off and then doesn't feel like a waste of money. If your a die hard dollhouse making fan then this would be a must see. If your like me and just want to see something different or new then you'll find some parts of this place interesting but most pretty boring. As I said earlier go on Thursday spend 7 bucks, see this place, then mark it off of your list and move onto the next thing.

Zacchaeus Nifong

It's not often that I give a 2-star review, especially for a museum, but I felt so inclined for this one. When I visited here with my family, I approached the young woman at the front desk and asked her about the place, etc. I had normal questions about the place. The woman didn't have much to say and referred me to the hand-out trifold brochure every chance she got. Well, I don't want to sit and read the trifold brochure; I've got three kids. She didn't mention that there's stools you can borrow for kids to use. (Again, I had to "discover" this fact buried in the brochure.) And she also didn't discuss the price with me, but simply said, "It's $35 total." I asked her if I could have a small pencil (you know the type they give you at putt-putt golf that's 2.5 inches long and barely writes), which was sitting in a box directly next to the counter top. She replied, you can BORROW one. At that point I understand that she's the irritated librarian that you feared when you were in grade-school. She's been working in a sound-insulated environment too long and she should walk outside and realize that the world is LOUD. I get it, it's a museum. But if they're giving scavenger hunt maps to kids in hopes of attracting new business then they should consider hiring an employee that is more kid-friendly and understands that parents sometimes need to hear it verbally because they've got toddlers spinning them in circles. I'm not the "cater-to-me-parent" either. I don't expect hand-outs for being a dad (or mom), but I would recommend coming here and knowing that YOU'RE KN YOUR OWN AS SOON AS YOU WALK IN. And to be clear, I'll probably go back here someday, but I want the owners to know that they should pay closer attention to their staff. (Still a cool place to visit.

Joshua Moore

Awesome place took mother for 65th bday been wanting to go for years pleasantly surprised on the size of the place. Never even made it all the way thru the first time so much to see. Will def return again.

Angie Papple Johnston

Great little place that's worth the price of admission. Even if you're not really into miniatures or dollhouses, you'll most likely enjoy yourself here. We spent about an hour enjoying the displays. The Christmas stuff is great!

Tiffany Lachuta

The museum was a wonderful stop on our trip from Canada. I love miniatures and was delighted by the beautiful museum, friendly staff, and elaborate displays of craftsmanship. The Halloween manor created by founder of the museum was the highlight for me. Bring a camera and take a flashlight from the from front desk to get the most out of your visit. Also the price of admission was very, very reasonable compared to museums in Canada. We'll visit again!

John Algeo

This museum is different from others that I have experienced! As I walked through its many rooms I was transported to other places, many resembling scenes from history or classic books. There were soldiers from the US Revolution fighting famous battles, Astronauts on the moon and much more! I Highly recommend a visit! John

William Weiss

Amazing displays. You could spend a day or more truly exploring these unique pieces of fine art. A jewel in the desert.

ardean jangrus

It was my first time...I'm 70 and was totally enthralled with it...so worth the price

Karen Reckmo

I love this museum it seemed so one of a kind and unique. My 5 year old grand daughter also loved it and found all the hidden faeries. The gift shop has unique items to offer.

Elvira Matthews

Another wonderful exhibition. The patience to unique details creating such beautiful art. Really enjoyed the museum.

Ebony Brooks

Perfect place for everything. A date. Family time. Time alone. So much to see!

Betty Williams

Great, it's so cool seeing all the different miniatures and the staff are really nice.

Steven Dupee

The kids loved this place! Fantastic way to escape the heat and get lost in all kinds of little worlds. The girls especially liked the enchanted room.

Gay Dybwad

Fantastic look back at the popular art of miniatures! The Christmas miracle matures are displayed wonderfully. Easy street access and ample parking. Concentrates on older miniatures, so no movie miniatures or other modern constructions of the small. Since the museum is large, it would be nice to have a cafe or food court to eat and rest awhile.

Olivia Washington

Really fascinating little museum (pun intended!). Easy to get distracted by all the amazing craftsmanship but definitely read the descriptions too!

Dane Rasmussen

Great place to deffinetly go with children or elders. I'd atleast recommend this place to go once if you're visiting. If you're traveling with any small child, they'll hand over a step stool for them to stand on and look through all the different exhibits.

Sariah Franklin

It was a funny, fantastic experience. There where many eye catching exhibits but my favorite was the pocket dragons

Paul Wallace III

Went here with my daughters pre-K class. It is a very interesting museum and it kept their attention. Its size is deceiving from the outside, it is a good size place. You could spend hours in here looking at all the intricate miniatures. Will definitely go back as we ran out of time.

Valerie Maden

A little hidden treasure in Tucson to discover!

Alycia Perk

So much fun! My 1.5 yr old loved the Christmas room! All the others had a blast finding the fairies! Will go again!

molly turley

Beautiful enchanting and just totally epic.

Noodle Doodle

Incredible place. Hours changed for Sunday they open at 10am now instead of noon. Worth the price and time.

Dandre Allison

Definitely can take more than 3 hours to complete this museum. A lot of different types of miniatures here

Melisa

Fun, lovely, definitely worth looking at. There is so much to see. I really didn't know the art was taken so seriously. My favorite are the rooms in the unique containers. Be careful though. The houses seem to be infested with fairies!

Sue Grolton

Squeeee! I was so excited to tour this museum. Some of the displays are 100 years old! They had some amazing displays. But.... I was expecting them to be smaller still. Tee hee hee

Cathi Wallis

Our nine year old great-niece was visiting from out of town, and we thought this was something she would enjoy doing. The adults were "going along for the ride", so to speak. We were all very pleasantly surprised! The museum isn't a tacky, dusty attic-like venue, but a very upscale and well maintained gallery. Our niece loved it, and we adults (including the men) found it very enjoyable and worth the price of admission. The displays are amazing works of art and fun to look at. There are plenty of benches scattered about to sit on when the elders need a break, and although we went in the cool month of February, would imagine it would be a nice escape from all the many outdoor attractions in the heat of summer.

Not my type of thing. Liked the small furniture art.

This place is a delight. You could easily lose yourself in the details for hours.

I visited this museum thanks to the Blue Star Program. Thank you for participating in this program to expose our active duty members to the arts. Some of our military need culture, and this initiative is a great way to provide an assist. Okay. I was not a fan, but that does not indicate it was bad. These miniatures are an amazing display of human creativity. The displays were well placed and the flow through the museum was smooth. It was amazing to see so many different miniaturized depictions of life. Of course I don't think I would go back, but if you desire to see miniaturized versions of things, this place is for you.

This place is like visiting something frozen in time. Amazing craftsmanship and friendly staff.
