We took our three kids (9, 13, 15) here last month and we all had a great time. It was a lot of fun for my husband and I to show our kids many of the games that we played as children and we all loved playing the video/arcade games like PacMan and Space Invaders (these were free play!) etc. My kids were also interested in the typewriter which they'd never seen before and also the chalkboard in the school room as they don't exist in our schools anymore! There are lots of historical items to look through as well, it's a really cool little museum and you can easily spend a hour or two here just having fun.
