Mornings during weekdays, when there are the fewest visitors and you can calmly view each machine. Avoid weekends, when the museum is often full of families.
Budget tips
The entrance ticket costs around 10 euros, but the price includes a few tokens for playing the machines. Additional tokens can be purchased at a favorable price of 1 euro for 5 pieces.

About
Quick facts: In the retro museum, you can see more than 300 functioning arcade machines from the 80s and 90s, most of which you can also play for 20 euro cents. The collection also includes rare pieces such as the original Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and the first PlayStation console.
Highlights: Most of the exhibits are still fully functional and ready to play, meaning you can touch and play video game history with your own hands. A special feature is the rare "Computer Space" machine from 1971, the first commercially available arcade machine in the world, which you will find in only a few museums around the world.
Insider tips
- Bring more 20 euro cent coins, as some older machines do not accept them.
- Take a photo next to the rare Computer Space machine from 1971, a true gem for video game history enthusiasts.
- Do not skip the last room with old computers like ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64, where you can try out cult classic games.
