Such a fun morning had at the Retro Computer Museum, the team there were clearly very passionate about the place, very knowledeable and really helpful whenever they were needed. Its... read more more of a big 'man-cave' really! You can play on ALL the machines with pretty much every game you could ever remember. Very nostalgic for me and enjoyable for my 13 year old who is a keen gamer. Highly recommend and great value too.

  Volunteers were all very friendly and everything including the snacks was reasonably priced.

They have an amazing amount of hardware and games to have a go... read more on, which was all well maintained.

One of the gentleman running the museum the day we visited was even good enough to allow us to have a go on the surprisingly awesome early 90's arcade VR headsets, which is something I'd never think I'd get a chance to do!

Well worth a visit for anyone with an interest in video games.

  Fantastic! A wonderful nostalgic and fun afternoon spent either playing on games from yesteryear or gazing at the expansive amounts of old consoles, games and literature. It is a... read more proper Alladins cave. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic as was Andy the curator who was happy to take the time to share some of his expansive knowledge and enthusiasm onto myself and my two boys. He even kindly gave me a copy of a DVD he made called "Memoirs of a Spectrum Addict" which in itself should be saved as a historic documentary on the thoughts of the many developers and programmers at the time. A truly wonderful place and well worth the very reasonable entrance fee. If we didn't live 3 hours away we would be back a lot more often!

  Amazing nostalgic visit to computers in my youth - An amazing trip back in time to the late 70s, 80s, 90s and Noughties to the computers and games we all grew up with in those decades. All my... read more childhood and teenage memories brought back to vivid life. Everything is interaction and playable and many of the original games can be played (minus the slow loading times!). Thoroughly lost myself in this place for 3-4 hours and if your loved computers and tech in the 80s and later then this place is for you. Lots of friendly staff on hand to help out and explain the history of each of the machines. Amazing visit and I wished I lived closer to Leicester so I could go every week

  As a fan of Retro Gaming and Computers this place seemed like the perfect place to visit and indeed it was. chock full of machines to play on. Magazines and... read more books to peruse and a game library of boxes an cassette tapes to reminisce over. It was a great morning out. The staff I spoke to were very friendly and I could have easily have spent most of the day chatting to them. Definitely a place I want to revisit in future.
I would say give yourself a good few hours if you want to have a good look round and play on everything. But do visit if retro computing is your thing. =)

  Brilliant fun hands on museum with a wide collection of machines set up to play on and really knowledgeable staff who are happy to show and tell you about the... read more history of UK computer gaming.

  Best day out in Leicester - What an amazing collection. The retro computer museum is run by a great bunch of people who clearly have a passion for the subject. If you are into retro gaming... read more or video games or just computers in general this place is a must. You can play and experience retro games on systems you didn’t even know existed. Absolutely first class day out. Thanks to all the team there it was excellent.

  Great nostalgic day out at the museum, luckily I know the people who run this and can honestly say its pleasure to drive down all the way from Newcastle for... read more special events and to support my friends here. They do such a great place and there's plenty of machines both computers and consoles to get onto, vr machine and much much more. Worth the trip alone but if you're local get there to support them!

  The staff are amazing, couldn't praise them more. They happily share their knowledge and wisdom (which is vast!) It was our first visit trip and my son who's 10 had... read more the best day and couldn't stop smiling. Very much recommend, and will be definitely visiting again soon.
