LOVEDthe visit! There is a big variety of old gaming consoles to try and a relaxed atmosphere with not too many people. Good location away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. We didn’t have to wait to play on any consoles. The store person was really friendly and helpful and overall a wicked experience! Recommended for all ages and a great place for kids birthdays if they’re into games.

Unplanned most favorite stop while I’m Perth! We visited Perth during the summer and knew it would be hot but we didn’t plan enough balance of inside and outside activities so on day 1 the kids were dying from the heat so we tried to find a good museum to take them to and this popped up. It took a little convincing to get them to agree to go but once we arrived it was all up hill from there! What a cool little place! We didn’t make a reservation and were lucky when we arrived that a school holiday event/booking was just leaving. The place isn’t very big but it’s jam packed with all the old video games from our great childhood and old TV’s to go with it!! It was such a trip back in time that we didn’t know how to begin and then didn’t know how to end! One amazingly great addition to this great great place is that your entry fee very cheap allows you to play all the games for the full day!!! You can come & go all day which is unheard of! So if you really want to try and break that old Atari record you can start your challenge in the morning break for lunch & let your fingers rest then come back again to finish off the day! They even have a snack bar chips & drinks & candy bars if you don’t want to leave. You will be very surprised as the condition of the games too…you can see some wear but really they are in good condition. Also, if you don’t see a game you are looking for just ask the owner and most likely he has it hidden away. And speaking of owner…if I could give a rating he would be a 10! Super friendly, super happy and amazing shop! We are only visiting but we saw the signage for byob trivia nights, birthday parties and other events that make this not only a great tourist destination but a great regular place to visit if you live in Perth. I’m not into video games at all but highly recommend you to go there and support this great little hidden gem. Your inner kid will thank you for it.

A great retro gaming museum that brings back memories of the good old days of classic games. You can play the games too. The owner is very friendly and gives a tour of the history of consoles. Highly recommended

What a great time! Trip down memory lane. Museum display of all the old systems and gaming devices with info. Heaps of games to play. Super cheerful staff. Hadnt pre booked, stayed for 2 hours! Well worth the entry fee. Better than Timezone!! Went on a Wed arvo, wasn't busy, plenty of games for all. Pong, Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter, Multiple Sonic games, multiple Mario games, and more. Happy customers

Kid noticed some Mario murals on the outside and wanted to go in...  Didn't expect too much tbh. The guy Dave at the counter was an Energizer bunny oozing positivity. His vibes set the tone for the visit and it was amazing!  Walking through you see multiple retro consoles with brief and informative snippets. Interesting facts accompanied each console through the ages.  Further into the room there are a couple of arcade machines which really brought back memories. Middle part of the room was decked with multiple consoles...Nintendo family com... Sega Saturn.. Xboxes of different gens... PlayStations.. and all playable! Amazing stuff.. really nostalgia overflowing...  What was supposed to be a half hour time passer ended up throughly spending an entirely enjoyable day there.  Hundred percent would recommend anyone wanting to relieve their childhood, and to allow their kids to experience a glimmer of what the 80s and a simpler time was all about.

Such an incredible reminiscent filled afternoon!!!! So much fun playing all of the old video games. My kids had a blast too.

Super cool place to see and very informative.  Also lots of games on different consoles to enjoy.  A very enjoyable visit.

Absolutely lovely place to remember old videogames and play them!! They have a fair variety of consoles that represent the history of videogames. Plus you can play a wide variety of them in old TVs! How cool is that Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo

We were on a holiday to Perth and were looking forward to visiting this place. We were disappointed when we realised they won’t be ready for opening during our trip there. So I wrote them a message on FB to let me know we look forward to be there on our next trip. Guess what? The owner said he would be happy to let us in on our last day in Perth!  Of course we bought tickets and went! My son had such a great time playing games on the well-looked after old consoles. The adults did too and we enjoyed reading the history of gaming and looking at some really old game devices we’ve never seen before.  This place is such a gem and the owner I presume is so warm and friendly.  I just wish we had more time there! We are so grateful we didn’t have to wait till the next trip to visit this wonderful place.

We had a birthday party here for our 11-year old boy with 20+ guests.  All the children had a great time and the whole event was managed very smoothly and helpfully. I would highly recommend Nostalgia Box as a venue for a birthday party or a fun social event.Visited onWeekend
