About
A blast from the past! The only one in Poland private collection of over 150 arcade games and pinballs available on Free Play. Museum presents history of entertainment. Oldest table game dates back to 1936. Main focus though is placed on 80' and 90' classics. One cannot miss Pac Man, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and dozens of driving and shooting games. Great for kids and adults. Perfect for a rainy day. It is a time machine that will transport you back to your happy childhood memories. Cannot be missed while in Krakow - only 15 min tram ride from the city center. There is also big free parking in front.

Best time ever! Will definitely visit again.

I could not recommend this place more! Me and my fiancé were a little unsure about taking a longer trip out of centre of Kraków but it was worth every penny!

Stepping in is like getting into the time machine, if only it could take you to the wet dream of every teenage boy (and many girls) in the 80s and 90s. It's something I myself have seen while watching Stranger Things and dreamt it could still exist.

We had a blast, the choice in games is endless and I even got some fun on the Japanese step dance machine that had the huge choice of weirdest K pop music 🤣 We were not dissapointed with the old Jurrasic Park machines that my fiancé remembered from his childhood.

By the exit we purchased the awesome designed t shirts that now we proudly wear above the Polar circle in the Northern Norway.

Keep up the great work!

Amazing Nostalgia
Mar 2023 • Friends
An amazing place and great way to spend a few hours with friends, family or significant others. A huge hit of nostalgia and excellent value for money we paid £13.00 for two hours of unlimited play totally worth it and so many classic games and more

Had a blast!
Apr 2023
We went to the arcade museum to mix up our trip to Krakow, and it was a great experience. Super affordable, about 12$ to play unlimited games for an hour. They had all the classic games, and some super fun ones we never seen in the US before. They also sell beer. A great time and highly recommend. The staff was super accommodating and even took my bag and put it in the back for me so I could just focus on the awesome games:)

Loved this place a lot - they have games for all ages from 8 years up
Apr 2023
Loved this place :)

We came here with my family (my wife, three kids, twins being 17 yo and daughter 13 yo) and we all enjoyed the arcade games so much.
You can find the classics from SEGA that we used to play on PC (eg. Golden Axe), Mortal Kombat 1-4 (which one of our twins became fond of after watching The Last of Us), Tetris, different racing games, then the full Star Wars arcade that I played around 20 years ago in Taxco (Mexico), as well as Arcanoid and a whole lot of pinballs, and the rhytm / dancing arcades...

The best part was that we found a lot of games where we could play side-by-side with my wife and kids of all ages. We had a great afternoon and I hope we will come back again.

Best regards from Maribor, Slovenia, Matija

Afternoon of great fun!
Apr 2023
Visited with my husband and 14 year old twins. Great fun introducing them to all our favourites from the 80s and 90s - PacMan, Super Mario, Galaga to name just a few. All the machines played were in excellent condition. We bought 2 hour tickets but all of us wish we'd opted for unlimited as we were in no way ready to leave! Would highly recommend.

Was here the other day what a fantastic place for adults and children of all ages. Staff where so nice and polite apon arrival and excellent in explaining the prices and letting us know your here to have fun. That's exactly what we did and I couldn't recommend it enough. Prices are very reasonable and my partner and I paid 130 zloty which is €28 euro for 2hrs and was well worth the price what an amazing place.

What an amazing museum
Mar 2023 • Friends
I visited the museum on a study tour with my class from Denmark. Me and my friends decided since we where huge video game and arcade game fans that we should visit the museum. It was such an amazing place. We were there for two hours and we barely scratched the surface of all the games there. We played everthing from pinball, to mario kart, to star wars arcade, to time crisis and four player nba jam (that was so fun). We really had a blast and all of us are still wanting to go back just to visit the museum again. Not just because of the great games but also the great service. The man who runs the place cleary loves arcade games and loves giving people a great experince when visting the museum. Because we loved the museum so much and how well he treated us and the great service we even bought so memorabilia. I bought a black Krakow arcade museum t-shirt and my friend a blue "Make arcade great again" hat. The experince was one of if not the best when we visited krakow and an experience everyone who visits Krakow must try
