The Nostalgia Box in West Perth is a video game console museum with a playable section. You can trace how home games changed and then try some older systems yourself. Opening hours change during school holidays, so use the correct schedule when booking.

Old systems you can actually use
The museum's own site says it displays more than 100 consoles, from the 1970s into the early 2000s, with an interactive games area included in admission. You may recognise a machine you grew up with or discover how awkward early controllers felt. Particular consoles can be under maintenance or reserved for events, so a named game should be checked before promising it to a child or a friend.
Match your booking to the day
The regular schedule is Tuesday to Friday 11am–4pm, Saturday 9am–5pm and Sunday 11am–4pm. Its website separately says seven days 9am–4pm during school holidays and that public holidays are normally closed unless announced otherwise. Use the live booking page for the session you want; special parties or events may change space availability. Entry is ticketed, with playable games included according to the operator.
The current address is 69 Plaistowe Mews, West Perth. Some older listings show an earlier venue, so use the operator's site and your ticket confirmation. Check Transperth for the best current route, and ask the team about a specific accessible entrance or noise level. The image shows a real display in West Perth in October 2025, not a guarantee that those consoles are set up in the same place today.
