It seems like every day, a new restaurant, shop, or other attraction opens up here in Minnesota. And while we love these exciting new openings, we love some of the state’s most nostalgic spots even more. Drive-in theaters, old-school restaurants, and even retro bowling alleys all find a home in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. And, as you’ll soon find out, so do retro toy museums! At LARK Toys in Kellogg, Minnesota, you’ll find a nostalgic walk down memory lane that will take you back to the good old days. Here’s what you need to know:

LARK Toys is an enormous toy store in the small southeastern Minnesota town of Kellogg. It may look unassuming on the outside, but don’t let that fool you. There is a treasure trove of excitement inside.
