It is a great place to take kids pre-teens,teens. Very helpful staff. Even had a tetras for grandma's. Need to mention kids in you list of who attended. Need to be more specific in advertising that there are stairs to enter.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Lorna. Thank you for your kind review and feedback. We do mention about stairs on our website but we will look at ensuring it is made more clear on sites like Viator too. Thank you again :-)

Surprising bit of...

Surprising bit of accessibility-some of the displays had braille (Grade 2 UEB) notes with information about the displays on them. It's up some stairs, I don't think I saw an alternate route in. So many games and consoles you can play. I enjoyed being really bad at Sonic the Hedgehog. Allow 1 hour minimum-if you're a gamer, you might want to leave an afternoon free for it.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you Hayley for your kind words. One of our goals is to be the most inclusive museum in the world so we appreciate you noticing our efforts! With our current location due to the stairs we do have an accessibility lift so hopefully everyone can experience the fun and joy of the playing the retro games (no matter how bad they think they are at Sonic lol). Thanks again for visiting :-)

Great fun blast from the past

No need to blow the cartridge!

It was very good to remember all those old consoles. The exposition is well organised and the idea behind is amazing. Although, my kids under 12 years old didn’t appreciate it that much because they are used to the new technology. Thank you for the experience!

Legend!

Amazing place. Really informative to read through the history of Atari and the good old days, and see so many console not only on display but up and running. It evoked great memories from when I was a kid. Thumbs up for who had the idea and set this up!
