A Great Mixture of Fun and Nostalgia
The Strong National Museum of Play的点评
点评：This attraction has over 2,000 reviews and a solid "5" rating and absolutely deserves it. Regardless of your age, if you have any love of toys or fun, this will be a great day.
The Strong is in an enormous newer structure that sits in a part of Rochester that appears to have undergone extensive modern renovation. The structure itself is architecturally interesting and seems to go on for blocks. There is ample parking across the street. We parked for free on a city road on a Saturday. Parking in a lot costs about $7.
The museum itself is a very deliberate mixture of museum-type exhibits of historical toys and "hands-on" play areas. It works really well, as there are kids playing everywhere and exhibits ranging from Victorian toys to modern video games and virtually everything in between. There were very few toys over the past century or so that you don't see somewhere in this vast museum.
For many, this will be a trip down memory lane. They have ornate doll houses, classic toys, and toys that many will remember from the 1960s, 1970s, etc. You also get a great sense of trends, such as changes in dolls, Cold War influences, marketing links to cartoons or movies, space aspirations, Star Wars, cultural influences, etc.
The role of girls/women is one common theme, with earlier toys pushing "traditional roles," some humorously so, with that image changing with each ensuing decade.
There are a fair number of exhibits on video games, but that is reality. Video games have been around for decades. They are toys in and of themselves, but they also inspire other kinds of toys, like action figures. They had video displays in multiple galleries and arcades. Find the old Death Race 2000 game, where you have a car that runs down pedestrians, who turn into tomb stones when hit. Not surprisingly, the game was banned for being too violent. They also have one of the infamous Atari ET games that were so un-fun that they ended up burying them en masse in a land fill, only to be reclaimed decades later (the game still stinks).
There are a few noticeable gaps, but you would expect that from any museum of any kind. For example, virtually every American child has played with Fisher-Price toys, and they started only an hour from this museum south of Buffalo, but there are not many examples in this extensive collection. Pokemon has been a phenomenon, but you won't see a whole lot of it here. The exhibits are very sensitive (some might say a bit PC) about certain kinds of minority toys, but that may be apt to avoid unfortunate racial stereotypes. You decide.
Part of the museum is a toy hall of fame. Halls of Fame are hard to pull off, but they use a lot of pleasing visual style to pull it off.
We visited without children, but it was obvious that there were a lot of parents and grandparents who came here for their children to play while they looked at other things, something the museum's structure promotes. There are countless arcade games ranging from from pinball to dance to a seemingly infinite number of classics.
If you are coming with an older child, take a look at the 3-story structure to promote the taking of chances. Every participant has a safety harness, and they can take whatever risks they want, ranging from tightropes to various obstacles at different heights, ending up, more or less, with a 100-foot zipline run.
Play is an important part of our lives, and looms large in our memories. This museum is a great way to relive it and to entertain children who are still growing memories themselves.
Plus, frankly, it's just fun to be here.

翻译：这个景点有超过 2,000 条评论，并获得了“5”的评分，绝对值得。无论您年龄多大，如果您喜欢玩具或娱乐，这将是美好的一天。
The Strong 位于罗切斯特一处巨大的新建筑内，该建筑似乎经过了大规模的现代化改造。该建筑本身在建筑上很有趣，似乎延伸了几个街区。街对面有充足的停车位。我们周六在城市道路上免费停车。停车场停车费约为 7 美元。
博物馆本身是博物馆式历史玩具展品和“动手”游乐区的精心混合。效果非常好，因为到处都有孩子在玩耍，展品从维多利亚时代的玩具到现代电子游戏，几乎应有尽有。在过去一个世纪左右的时间里，几乎没有玩具是你在这座庞大的博物馆里看不到的。
对许多人来说，这将是一次回忆之旅。他们有华丽的娃娃屋、经典玩具，以及许多人会记得的 20 世纪 60 年代、70 年代等时期的玩具。你还可以很好地了解趋势，例如娃娃的变化、冷战的影响、与卡通或电影的营销联系、太空抱负、星球大战、文化影响等。
女孩/女人的角色是一个共同的主题，早期的玩具推崇“传统角色”，有些很幽默，这种形象随着随后的十年而变化。
有相当多的电子游戏展品，但这是现实。电子游戏已经存在了几十年。它们本身就是玩具，但它们也启发了其他类型的玩具，比如动作人物。他们在多个画廊和街机上都有视频展示。找到旧的死亡飞车 2000 游戏，其中有一辆汽车撞倒行人，行人被撞后变成墓碑。毫不奇怪，这款游戏因过于暴力而被禁止。他们还收藏了一款臭名昭著的 Atari ET 游戏，这款游戏非常无趣，以至于他们最终将其大量埋入垃圾填埋场，几十年后才重新回收（这款游戏仍然很臭）。
有一些明显的差距，但你会预料到任何类型的博物馆都会有这种差距。例如，几乎每个美国孩子都玩过费雪玩具，它们从布法罗南部的这家博物馆出发，距离这里只有一小时车程，但在这个庞大的收藏中，没有太多的例子。口袋妖怪一直是一种现象，但你在这里看不到很多。展品对某些少数族裔玩具非常敏感（有些人可能会说有点政治正确），但这可能有助于避免不幸的种族刻板印象。你决定。
博物馆的一部分是玩具名人堂。名人堂很难实现，但他们使用了很多令人愉悦的视觉风格来实现它。
我们参观时没有带孩子，但很明显，有很多父母和祖父母来这里是为了让他们的孩子玩耍，同时他们也看其他东西，这是博物馆结构所倡导的。这里有无数的街机游戏，从弹球到舞蹈，再到无数的经典游戏。
如果你带着一个大孩子来，看看这个三层楼的结构，它鼓励你冒险。每个参与者都有安全带，他们可以冒任何他们想冒的风险，从走钢丝到不同高度的各种障碍物，最后或多或少地要玩 100 英尺的高空滑索。
玩耍是我们生活中的重要组成部分，在我们的记忆中占有重要地位。这个博物馆是一个重温它并娱乐那些自己还在成长的记忆的孩子的好方法。
而且，坦率地说，来这里很有趣。
