Every year another piece of our childhoods are enshrined in The National Toy Hall of Fame as their inductee class for that year.

Created in 1998 by Ed Sobey, it was originally housed at A. C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village in Salem, Oregon, United States, but was moved to the Strong National Museum of Play (now The Strong) in Rochester, New York, in 2002 after it outgrew its original home.

As of 2023, eighty-five toys have been enshrined in the National Toy Hall of Fame.

This year’s finalists for the 2024 inductee class are sure to drum up some of your memories!
