My 9 year old is a huge retro fan and loves the 80's style games consoles. This was the best day out for us! I highly recommend visiting the museum.... read more It brings back so many gaming memories from that era and the best part is you get to try out the systems and play.

  An absolute gem of a place - A wonderful place. All the retro computers are set up connected to TVs/monitors and are available to play with. We were greeted and given a little tour when we arrived,... read more which was much appreciated. My youngest son wasn't so sure when we first arrived (I want to play Minecraft!) but by the end of the visit he was delightedly playing Chuckie Egg on an Amstrad CPC 464. We will definitely be back - we only got as far as the house in Grannie's Garden on the BBC Micro and want to see what happens after that...

They loved playing on the arcade games too.

  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.

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. =)
