Such a fun and quirky stop in Leavenworth! The Nutcracker Museum is small but packed with thousands of nutcrackers from all over the world, from antique and historical pieces to colorful and whimsical ones. Way more interesting than I expected, and you can tell a lot of care went into the collection. It only takes about 30–45 minutes, but it’s totally worth it, especially since the ticket price is inexpensive. Great little activity if you’re walking around downtown and want something unique to do. Perfect for all ages.

I collect nutcrackers and I was in heaven! I must have taken 100 photos! So much history, I learned everything about nutcrackers! This museum is definitely worth the $5 admission! Even if you're not that into nutcrackers, I bet you'd be surprised at how interesting this gem is!

Very cute little museum. Perfect for the price. The nutcrackers in the store are all fairly expensive, but they are legit German nutcrackers. Tons of fun and cute things to see throughout. Definitely recommend a stop in.

We didn't find this expensive. It's $6 per adult & the child was free = $12 You don't have to have an interest in Nutcrackers to visit because at the end of the day it's artwork & craftsmanship & the sheer volume of Nutcrackers alone is amazing! I respect that they don't want pictures of the antiques because constant UV from a flash of light can damage them so please be respectful.

This place was pretty neat. It was cool to see the history. They do allow you to take photos but they only allow you to take pics of certain things.
