Fantastic Fun!  - Such an amazing place. Lots of helpful and friendly volunteers. Took two 11 year olds who were very scepital but absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend 😊

  We visited this fun gaming museum on Sunday 28th April. There are so many games to play on so many different consoles going back decades. Even non gamers will find... read more it hard not to join in! We all had a great time playing games and reminiscing. There's a good selection of snacks, sandwiches, hot and cold drinks at reasonable prices. A really good, fun day out. Our 'just one more game' lasted an hour!! Definitely was worth the 2 hour round trip. Hope to make this a more regular event.

  Tucked away is an unassuming building that contains all the computer games you used to play from 1970's onwards. You can play on them for as long as you like.... read more There were 3d units to use and the people there were so knowledgeable. My docile daughter's favourite was a bloodthirsty killing game that we couldn't get her away from!

  Great time!  - Really good time as always, friendly staff and being able to play with all of the old tech is brilliant! My teenagers also enjoyed getting involved.

  We took the 38th Leicester Cubs and Scouts with a few parents to look at and play with some of the old style computers and the Guys that run... read more it helped the youngsters to earn their Digital Maker badges and some of the parents knew far more than they were letting on about older computer games etc. a great evening for all cubs scouts and adults the guys helped make the evening great and one to remember

  A group of five of us - including my son, daughter and their cousin and boyfriend visited this wonderful place and enjoyed both the atmosphere and the ability to play... read more on the old machines. For myself, I had an opportunity to play on some of the machines I'd only seen in magazines but never owned or used - such as the Sam Coupe and the Vectrex (a particular highlight)

The staff are great and the atmosphere is brill - like being in a giant gaming lounge with several play areas and some space to sit and have a cup to tea and a snack (at very cheap prices). We would like to go back some day!

  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!

  The Retro Compter Museum is a great museum for adults and childeren alike. For adults who grew up in the 70s, 80s and 90s there is a lot to recognise... read more and to learn. For childeren the retro games are fun and the information fascinating. They even got to try old telephones and typewriters 😉 The staff is enthusiastic and friendly.

  It was full of promise of seeing computers from my earlier years and playing games from my youth - and boy did it live up to the promise!

From... read more early computers to games consoles to arcade games and everything in between.

Lots of software (on cassette tape, floppy disc and games cartridge) plus a multi player network game.

Also a library of computer magazines (some of which I remember reading when they were published) and some other things - such as a Sinclair C5 and a Lara Croft statue all go to make this a great day out.

Opening hours are short but that's not a problem.

There is parking just outside but not much; as it's only open at weekends it may be possible to park in some of the other spaces - but I'd check first.
