Let's Play @ Yexel's Toy Museum

There'll always be a child in us that's why toys are not only for kids but for grown ups as well. We were surfing the net when we saw a post on Facebook about a cool toy museum in Las Pinas. We checked other websites about this and saw that it was already featured in one of the news channels here in the Philippines. We also found out that it’s very near to our place so we decided to check it out.

How to get there:

Yexel’s Toy Museum is located along Sampaguita St, Pilar Village, Las Pinas City, Philippines.  The village is just 4 blocks away from our place and just 2 blocks away from SM Southmall. We took a jeepney along Alabang-Zapote Road and dropped off at Pilar Village. Landmarks will be a 7 Eleven store and a popular fast food chain Jollibee. From there, ride a tricycle and just tell the driver to take you to Yexel’s toy museum.

The museum showcases almost all toys there is, from Disney characters, Marvel Characters to Anime heroes. You can also see Alvin & the Chipmunks, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy, Star Wars, Doraemon, the list is endless. What’s cool about the attraction is there are the life-size statues like Optimus Prime and Lightning McQueen.

The museum opens from 2pm up to 8pm. Entrance fee is  for 300 pesos and you can stay there as long as you like with unlimited picture taking but no touching of the equipment of course. There are several guys there, including Yexel, the owner himself that will guide you where you will go next because there are some secret walls there.

We also learned that Yexel spent 20 million pesos  to put up this amazing collection. I also had a little chat with him and convinced the former member of the popular dance group “Street Boys” to add a life size Gundam in his museum and I was surprised when he told me that he’s already working on it.

Overall, the 300 peso entrance fee was worth it.  So if you have time, come to the place and bring your family and kids-they’ll surely love it there.
