As avid board gamers & console gamers, we found the World of Games exhibition fascinating. Never before have I seen artefacts from current day (eg Warhammer, Monopoly, League of Legends) displayed alongside historic artefacts. This weaves the passions of the visitors in with the story of the history and social function of gaming that is being told. The exhibition is highly interactive which massively engaged my son. Highly recommend!

Another good museum in the city. Easy to go through it. They have got a restaurant with warm food and also as a snack so it's up to you. It's well organised and could be interesting for the kids as well. I think I would say from 5 years and up. Of course they have a restroom and a souvenir shop. They have got such a nice offer to pay the entrance fee once and it's valid for a year. During the cold weather spending time here specially with the young ones could be a fun day

Very small and oriented on kids. Many interactive buttons,stands, things to see and touch, things to colour, etc. For an adult - less so interesting - and one room was without a light when we came there, no one was around to ask to turn it on, and it didn't turn on on its own.

Nice culture museum and the best part is the world’s game collection. Very fun to play with kids!

Ein ganz tolles Museum. Ich war zu dem Zeitpunkt dort als eine zusätzliche den Spielen gewidmete Ausstellung präsentiert wurde. Die war toll und nostalgisch! Spiele, die ich aus meiner Kindheit kannte, konnten erneut gespielt werden.

Für die kleinen Besucher (ab 6 Monaten) gibt es viel zu erfahren, zu spüren, zu sehen, zu ertasten. Die Kinderspielecke ist ein kleines Paradies mit tollen Geschichten, Landschaften, Kenntnissen.

Ein kleines und gemütliches Kaffee hat viele Leckereien.

The museum has some interesting things, but where a lot of museums have interactive parts nowadays, this museum is beautiful but a bit static. The Play-exhibition was okay, and it was nice to try some things out, but some of the information was a bit longwinded. Same for the exhibitions on floor 3 and 4.

Visited two exhibitions, one suitable for children (världens spel) and one not (ultras). Nice open areas, plenty of different exhibits offering a range of experiences and varying degrees of interactivity. Cafe was nice, first place we've managed to successfully order in Swedish.

Nothing interesting for adults apart from games exhibitions where you can spend time playing. The Museum has very limited exhibitions and its name is really misleading. Bigger part of space is dedicated to children or families. I’d never pay for getting in.

Pretty nice place to learn, relax and enjoy diversity around the world!

Definitiv etwas für Familien! Mit 140 Kronen Eintritt okay, aber der Go City Pass ist hier nicht gültig!

Man this joint was rad.

My Gothenburg native friend (shout out to him!) told me I should visit this joint. He was right. Heck he is always right.

Get some kids and go learn and have fun at the same time homie. You will love it!

Super fun, informative, a real family museum, cool games and good food (no fast food).

The place is very organised, well thought out, simple and relaxing. If you are just looking for a calm, learn and see new outtakes of culture then you should definitely come here.

But the main star for me was their food buffé. Tasted really well. Fresh and spiced/cooked well. The price was low because I ate aaaalot..

True to its name, we had the chance and pleasure to check out the current exhibition, which is about México, with some absolutely beautiful exhibits. Everything was very nicely presented, so I would definitely recommend this museum. Staff was really welcoming and helpful and besides the museum, I really loved the variety of what's on offer in the museum shop. Last, but not least, the lunch buffet looked amazing!!!
