Reviews of The National Videogame Museum
"Fun fun fun!!! An excellent museum, many of the games took me back to my childhood. Everything is laid out to be easily accessible with directions on how to play each game. A great experience, staff are friendly and knowledgeable and I recommend a visit to anyone."
"I took my son today for the first time . We booked a morning session during the holidays hoping it wouldn’t be too busy and we definitely made the right choice . A couple of games we had to wait for a turn but not too long . Some really good games which were a really good blast from the past. Staff were all friendly and helpful place is nice and clean and we only found one game that wasn’t working which isn’t too bad for the age of some of these games . My only reason for giving four stars instead of five is I was a bit disappointed having to pay £12.00 when I had no intention of going on any games but children can’t go alone so I had to go . All in all a great 3 hours spent"
"If you’re into nostalgia then this is a great place to visit to see the old and great computers, consoles and games. You book yourself into a 2.5 hour slot which is great as it reduces queues meaning you have plenty of time to explore and play. The time is more than enough to see and experience everything and my only gripe is that it is not extensive enough. Great mixture of classic arcades like Streetfighter, Space Invaders and Pac-Man as well as Mario and Sonic games. A great few hours out with friends and family"
"Don't agree with the compulsory mask wearing, especially when the staff aren't policing the use of sanitiser after each individual use of a machine/controller and the rest of society (& staff) are going out without virtually any restrictions...moan over. Other than this, me, my wife and three kids thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Fantastic concept with extremely helpful staff. My kids enjoyed seeing how it all began, all the way through to early editions of titles that are still current and I certainly enjoyed my trip down memory lane...a little reminiscing never hurt anyone. I would highly recommend visiting this place even though we try to keep our kids console/screen time down as much as possible...but this is different."
"Easy to find even if you're not local like us, parking within a 5 minute walking distance. Went with my 2 kids on Saturday 26th Feb 22, good sized place lots of different consoles and games to play, retro arcades with some old classics in glass cabinets to check out as well. Definitely worth a visit for any games enthusiast! Only downsize was I expected more tbh but was still a good couple of hours out!"
