Doll Museum is a good peaceful place to take your kids on a weekend for 1 hour outing. The dolls are really amazing and tells Lot about the culture of the native country.
However the museum needs to light up the place put in some life. Make it kids friendly and engaging. They can start with more lights in the premises.

This is an amazing place for both kids and adults, in there they have a lot of dolls from different different countries made at different time, you can see the absolute art of doll making and it has been maintained equally by the museum. The ticket price for Adult is 40 Rs which you can easily buy from the counter. Nearest metro station is ITO which is just outside the gate of doll museum, don't check Google the information is not updated there it shows Mandi house. Overall it's a great place to visit.

A fanstatic place for a unique and family hangout. Lots of beautiful dolls, maintained in an excellent manner. Tickets are not expensive (but only cash payment is available).

If u r coming from metro, ito gate no. 4 is the nearest one.

Must visit place, highly recommended. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I don't know how to write this: but doll house stored dolls from all the major continents with their national and indigenous costumes that will give you a glimpse of the beauty of clothes and accessories.
However, you might not find some particular countries and tribes in India. I will say that Doll house need to update to other major tribe in India. Overall, I had a very pleasant ☺️ visit and garnered ideas and thought on fashions and wonder of diversity.

Very interesting place. You can get an idea about the dolls culture from different countries. I was very happy to see Ukraine’s traditional doll Motanka among the exhibits. Motanka dolls are one of the oldest symbols of the Ukrainian culture.

Visited international dolls museum with family today.. Both my daughters liked it.. There are thousands of dolls from all over the world..

Separate section for each country. It really shows the cultural and how people look like else well as the local believes.

It will take at least 1 hour to see all..

It has a separate section for each state of India too..

Kids will surely like it.. Even good for parents to) to understand.. I found this place quite informative.

Metro station is just out side the gate.

Tickets are quite reasonable.. 30 for adults and 13 for kids

I recommend this as one short visit with family.

This is a small museum, but contains over 7000 dolls. It won't take more than an hour. You might think that kids would enjoy the place, but they might not enjoy the place. You cannot touch the dolls, photography is prohibited.

You will love the Peru, France, Spain and Italy's tableau the most.
Indian section is also quite beautiful.

Nice place to visit with family. I went there today with my daughter and she enjoyed alot. You will find different dolls from each countries. Starting from Australia NZ and ending with India . Ticket is also very cheap 30 for adult and 11 for Child. Only issue is there no canteen, as it's a small place. Only option is eatables available outside. As pictures suggest nearest metro station is Ito , exit from gate no.4 . Make sure you don't get caught while clicking pics and videos.
