The Nostalgia Box Museum

Unclaimed

Absolutely love this place. An extremely extensive collection of everything retro, lots of games to play and they host plenty of fun events throughout the year (recently went to the Valentines Day dinner event). Also David, the owner, is the nicest person you'll ever meet. Highly recommend!

Fun little place for the kids and the kids at heart who want to relive their youth. We ended up spending 3 hours here, and it went by so quickly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We bought tickets, but probably didn't need to. Wholesome fun for the whole fam!

My son’s teacher recommended the place and we ended up all loving it. The staff is really helpful, willing to find any game, even from the 90s. Such a variety of games. Equipment in great condition. Plus all the old games in a line time of invention museum built in on the side of the games. It made easier to understand how the vg were developed over the years. It was a great adventure. I highly recommend.

We found the Nostalgia Box through Trip Advisor under things to do in Perth, Australia. Very easy to find, as we were staying in Fremantle. We caught the train from Fremantle to City West train station and walked about 2 to 3 minutes to the venue. The Nostalgia Box was easily accessible from the street. I use a wheelchair and the venue has a wheelchair lift which upon arrival the venue owner greeted us and organised the lift for me to use. Once inside we paid our admission and moved around the museum part of the venue. It was amazing the huge collection of games and consoles including the history from the early 70’s all the way through to the current gaming consoles. All the displays had QR codes to access information about the specific console and the history; in addition to the information sheet near each console. Also, above the QR codes, there was Brail attached to the display cabinets for visual impaired visitors to use. We spent several hours playing in the arcade area where there was a wide variety of consoles setup to play and arcade cabinets all included in the admission price. The venue owner just let us know that if there was any game specifically that we wanted to play, he would organise it and set it up for our use. They had a huge catalogue to choose from across various different consoles and handhelds; you just have to ask and he was only to happy to change a game for you. My husband played the Galaga arcade cabinet and got put on the leader’s board and had a photo with his achievement. He was stoked to be added to the top 8 scores on the arcade machine. The Nostalgia Box can be as long or as short a visit as you wish. The owner said that our admission was for the whole day and that we could go and come back whenever we wanted too. We thought this was great value for $16.50 as we were concession card holders. So overall, fantastic value for money, suitable for all ages: children through to adults and very assessable for a visitor whom requires accessibility. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane with the museum and to be able to enjoy various consoles from yester years. I would recommend going from opening to close, as this venue is a precious hidden gem in Perth.

Amazing place to spend a day, my boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Took us back in time walking through the museum part and then the excitement of getting to play unlimited games. Definitely worth it and what makes it even better is the super energy from Dave, who was so welcoming and ensured we had a good time. The ticket gives you gaming time for the whole day, we went out for lunch and came back to continue our gaming. We will for sure visit again soon ? Adding a picture of Dave in his elements.
