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.
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 :-)
Fun and amazing entertainment! This museum is a treasure for anyone who loves gaming. The collection of classic consoles and memorabilia brought back so many memories, and the interactive setups kept us smiling the whole time. The owner is welcoming and passionate about gaming history, which makes the experience better. A fantastic museum — we’ll be back.
Thank you for visiting! We can't wait to have you back :-)
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.
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 :-)
We had a wonderful time looking at all the old consoles. Playing the machines was a blast....definitely recommended for families who love computer games.
Absolutely magical place. It’s not just nostalgia — it’s memory, personality, childhood, peace and joy all under one roof. I watched someone I care about light up like I’ve never seen before. The gaming room felt like stepping into a childhood daydream. Such a precious, thoughtful space. Thank you for creating a place that genuinely means something.
Thank you so much for visiting! Making a space where people can relive their childhood is why we do this :-)
Awesome place , really worth a visit if you love retro computers / history of computer game consoles - or just love an old game that you don’t own anymore Well worth the ticket price Clean tidy and well looked after Wonderful customer experience
It was great fun and the staff were excellent and helpful i would highly recommend visiting We will be visiting again
The Nostalgia Box Museum is a total blast from the past! 🎉 As soon as you step in, you're surrounded by retro goodies that'll transport you back to your childhood. The arcade section is a highlight, with classic games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong that still hold up today. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great spot for families, couples, or solo visitors looking for a dose of nostalgia. Don't miss it! 👍👾 If you're a fan of retro tech and games, this museum is a must-visit. Five star
We found the Nostalgia Box through Trip Advisor under things to do in Perth, Australia. Very easy to find, as we were staying in Fremantle. We caught the train from Fremantle to City West train station and walked about 2 to 3 minutes to the venue. The Nostalgia Box was easily accessible from the street. I use a wheelchair and the venue has a wheelchair lift which upon arrival the venue owner greeted us and organised the lift for me to use. Once inside we paid our admission and moved around the museum part of the venue. It was amazing the huge collection of games and consoles including the history from the early 70’s all the way through to the current gaming consoles. All the displays had QR codes to access information about the specific console and the history; in addition to the information sheet near each console. Also, above the QR codes, there was Brail attached to the display cabinets for visual impaired visitors to use. We spent several hours playing in the arcade area where there was a wide variety of consoles setup to play and arcade cabinets all included in the admission price. The venue owner just let us know that if there was any game specifically that we wanted to play, he would organise it and set it up for our use. They had a huge catalogue to choose from across various different consoles and handhelds; you just have to ask and he was only to happy to change a game for you. My husband played the Galaga arcade cabinet and got put on the leader’s board and had a photo with his achievement. He was stoked to be added to the top 8 scores on the arcade machine. The Nostalgia Box can be as long or as short a visit as you wish. The owner said that our admission was for the whole day and that we could go and come back whenever we wanted too. We thought this was great value for $16.50 as we were concession card holders. So overall, fantastic value for money, suitable for all ages: children through to adults and very assessable for a visitor whom requires accessibility. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane with the museum and to be able to enjoy various consoles from yester years. I would recommend going from opening to close, as this venue is a precious hidden gem in Perth.
What a fantastic space so cool to see the old gaming console and get to play them too highly recommend to remember childhood game must visit this place highly recommended
Thank you for your kind words and your visit. We hope to see you again soon :-) -Dave, Owner
