Description

Specialties

One of my dreams has always been to have my very own puppet museum, where people could share my passion and learn the proud international history of puppetry. After producing my own DVD, Witch Key, an hour-​long puppet movie for families, my dream was finally realized in May, 2012 when Ping Pong’s Pint Size Puppet Museum opened its doors four days a week with FREE admission. One of only a handful in the country, we’ve already had several thousand visitors. Changing out our exhibits every three months allows us to focus on the past, present, and future of puppetry, so there’s always something new to see and learn when guests come back for their next visit.

Featuring:

FREE Admission

Hands on Puppets for play

Live Puppet shows (a fee is charged for these)

Puppet Building Classes (a fee is charged for these)

Puppets for sale (sometimes)

Birthday party space

History

Established in 2012.

We’ve been open since May 2012, providing people with a look at the past, present, and future of puppetry worldwide.
