Reviews of MZTV Museum Of Television (Museum)

Nachum Sokolic

Loved this small museum, such great staff, fun place to stop off for an hour or two. Great for kids aged 6+ I would say, and brilliant for adults. Interesting and informative.

Very interesting seeing all the old t.v.

It's an amazing collection and comprehensive history of television. The collection spans such a lengthy time period, taking in so many countries. The multimedia presentations were interesting. All the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

It is a really nice collection of old TVs dating back to the 1920's when it was a "mechanical TV". Don't know what that is? Check it out at this museum. It is a single room, but I did manage to spend 2 hours there looking at all the TV's and reading the labels. They have an MZTV app that gives some audio commentary to the exhibits. It is worth going to if you enjoy history of things.

Discovered MZTV's existence just earlier this week online. Had a terrific time visiting this afternoon. It is truly a stupendously great place to visit if looking for a comprehensive exploration of the development of the phenomena of television from the 1920s to the 1970s. The hall is laid out with a series of chronological displays of artefacts that meticulously detail the development of television as a technological and cultural revolution. Really, really well done. The free app truly adds to the experience too and makes it easier to engage and navigate the hall.. A special thank you to the gentlemen I met who over oversee the hall. Really welcoming and engaging. Truly hope that Moses's collection can be expanded and more of it seen in future.

Really cute museum. Quite small but interesting and there is nothing quite like it in Toronto. Cool that its in zoomerplex as well. Trippy kinda like a trip through time. I also love that speakers corner is there for you to have the nostalgia factor. Would definitely visit with out of towners. Seems like a place that would be on atlas obscura.

The tour is in one room and although it's short I really liked it. Learned a lot and there's some pretty cool stuff in there.

Great museum! Darryl was super helpful and passionate about the museum. Fascinating collection with amazing information, and the interactive app to guide visitors around the museum was extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

It's not a large museum, but they pack a lot of really interesting history into one room. The staff was great and even gave us a bit of a behind-the-scenes tour of a show they were shooting that day.

Came here twice during their regular business hours and closed both times.

A wonderful museum and collection. The museum has almost everything you could think of from the earliest days of television. Its neat that Toronto has such a unique museum with an extremely rare collection on television that can't be found anywhere else in the world

A really great place with one of a kind exhibits. Very interesting you want to learn about the history of television. They also offer an app which gives additional information about the exhibits and is available in different languages. I even got a personal tour by the staff. The museum is made up of one huge room where you go around in a circle, this may sound small but I spent nearly two hours there. And the 10 dollars a ticket was definitely worth it. -enthusiastic, helpful staff -Great exhibits -good price

Immensely enjoyed the exhibits. It's quite a large collection of vintage TVs over the years including the original TV from the World Fair before WWII. Very well curated displays and a fantastic app you install on your phone to give you a personal tour of the exhibits. I easily spent a couple hours here. When we attended we were fortunate to receive a guided tour from the museum director who even hooked up a vintage TV and showed us the landing on the moon as seen back in 69. Highly recommended for technology history buffs.

Small but enjoyable museum. A new section is being introduced mid October.

Eric Lachance

Extremely impressive museum. Limited hours, but good value and we received a guided tour. It's only one room but there is a large collection housed with some very impressive items including the "most valuable television in the world" which they even turned on and let us watch! Highly recommend, one of my favorite museums in a while.

Adam Jennings

Has a awesome collection of old televisions, and a great timeline of early television technology.
