Traveler reviews
Amanda Turner
★★★★★5 months agoThis was such a great museum. There were so many hands-on exhibits that were fantastic. I especially loved the rooms that were set up to look like the period which the game system/software was from. Also, the staff were friendly and amazing. I got a recommendation to go see a cold war gaming exhibit at the Alliierten museum that we ended up visiting the next day. Both were great - and thanks so much for the excellent recommendation!!
