FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In short – YES. You can book your tickets on our website or give us a call on 08 9227 7377. If you are booking for a group of 4 or more over the phone, a full payment over the phone is required. Walk-ins are of course allowed but you do run the risk of either being turned away if we have a private function booked during that time. Avoid the risk and book online 🙂

Start off your visit with a self-guided tour through our museum section. The museum contains more than 100 consoles, representing the evolution—and sometimes revolution—that occurred from the 1970s through the 2000s. Then head over to our gaming area and play a plethora of classic video games, such as  Pong, Space Invaders, or blast through levels of Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd, and Crash Bandicoot and many more.

We have a few awesome arcade machines but no pinball machines.

There is no reason for you to purchase a ticket if video game history and gaming aren’t your cup of tea. You are more than welcome to sit and wait in our gift shop area or better yet, explore West Perth and Perth City while you’re waiting!

If the children are under the age of 10, we will require the children to be accompanied by a paying adult.  Many of our consoles are old and delicate, proper supervision is required when young children are handling the consoles. In other circumstances, you are welcome to wait in our gift shop area.

Unfortunately, we do not have a separate ticket for each section. But we can assure you both sections are interesting in their own way and we highly recommend our visitors to take the time to explore the entire museum.

We accept both cash and cards and even Amex!

There are no longer any COVID restrictions in WA. However should the Government issue new mandates and requirements we will update and advise. If you are feeling unwell though we do ask you please wear a mask as germs can be easily spread in this environment.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please book your tickets online or give us a call at 08 9227 7377 before your visit.

Some days we open late or close early for private functions or events. On these days the last available session for booking will be 1 hour before the function start time. All visitors will have to leave before the function begins. This means that if you have booked the last session of the day, your visit will have to be completed within 1 hour. In order to ensure you get the most out of your visit, please give us a call to see times when we are opening late or closing early for functions.

We recommend you allow 1 hour for your visit, however, the time you stay is not limited on a normal day where no private function is being held.
