It is a great place to...
It is a great place to take kids pre-teens,teens. Very helpful staff. Even had a tetras for grandma's. Need to mention kids in you list of who attended. Need to be more specific in advertising that there are stairs to enter.
Response from the operator: Hi Lorna. Thank you for your kind review and feedback. We do mention about stairs on our website but we will look at ensuring it is made more clear on sites like Viator too. Thank you again :-)

Fun entertainment
Fun and amazing entertainment! This museum is a treasure for anyone who loves gaming. The collection of classic consoles and memorabilia brought back so many memories, and the interactive setups kept us smiling the whole time. The owner is welcoming and passionate about gaming history, which makes the experience better. A fantastic museum — we’ll be back.
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting! We can't wait to have you back :-)

Surprising bit of...
Surprising bit of accessibility-some of the displays had braille (Grade 2 UEB) notes with information about the displays on them. It's up some stairs, I don't think I saw an alternate route in. So many games and consoles you can play. I enjoyed being really bad at Sonic the Hedgehog. Allow 1 hour minimum-if you're a gamer, you might want to leave an afternoon free for it.
Response from the operator: Thank you Hayley for your kind words. One of our goals is to be the most inclusive museum in the world so we appreciate you noticing our efforts! With our current location due to the stairs we do have an accessibility lift so hopefully everyone can experience the fun and joy of the playing the retro games (no matter how bad they think they are at Sonic lol). Thanks again for visiting :-)

A fantastic afternoon out.
We had a wonderful time looking at all the old consoles. Playing the machines was a blast....definitely recommended for families who love computer games.

A Nostalgia Wonderland — Truly Magical
Absolutely magical place. It’s not just nostalgia — it’s memory, personality, childhood, peace and joy all under one roof. I watched someone I care about light up like I’ve never seen before. The gaming room felt like stepping into a childhood daydream. Such a precious, thoughtful space. Thank you for creating a place that genuinely means something.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for visiting! Making a space where people can relive their childhood is why we do this :-)

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $13 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skip the Line: Perth Video Game Console Museum Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
