Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

Featured in 2019 Guinness World Record Gamer's Edition and Lonely Planet, The Nostalgia Box is Australia's first interactive Video Game Console Museum. The museum is a celebration of video games and the people that made them happen.

Go behind the scenes of your favorite games and consoles, learning about the tremendous work that went into them. Play a plethora of classic video games, replaying games from your childhood or making entirely new discoveries. Play a round of Pong, challenge a friend to a high score in Space Invaders, or blast through levels of Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd, and Crash Bandicoot. This is merely scratching the surface. Relive your childhood, discover gaming's sometimes secret history, and plant appreciation for old-school gaming in a younger generation.
The Nostalgia Box is a museum about gaming and specifically video games, as it contains more than 100 consoles. The Nostalgia Box is the first interactive video game console museum in Australia and it is located in the Western of the country, in Perth. It was featured in the 2019 Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition and Lonely Planet. I am a big gamer myself and I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to visit this incredible place. I choose to play only pokies that require no download and no registration because I don’t like wasting time. I find pokies that work at pokieslab.com, link attached in by bio. I am not a big console player but I couldn’t pass out on this. I tried playing some original Nintendo games such as SEGA and I have to say that comparing to pokies it was a familiar experience. The simplicity of the gaming experience is the same and both have a nostalgic feeling sometimes. Pokies are simple games with a clear goal like many other older games. Playing pokies online though was a little different than playing live with people surrounding you and I wouldn’t say I like the attention. I also played some of the Arcade games that I was too young to experience when they were in.

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! So interactive, and the shows were extremely entertaining. My 4 year old actually asked to go back a second time during our 2 week stay in Perth because she just loved it all. Parents can also be involved in the activities or there is a section at the front of SciTech just for the little ones to have fun. Highly recommend going to see the puppet show and the SoCool shows that they have on, the scientists are extremely passionate about their subject and encourage questions.

The recent opening of the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip adds a new dimension to the Perth Cultural Cenre which had been sadly lacking while the previous WA Museum was being rebuilt. The area around James St was once run down, but it is now the cultural hub of Perth. The WA Art Gallery has a good collection, including local artists. The State Library of WA has an unmatched collection of WA publications, including the Battye Library, which concentrates on WA's local history. PICA -- the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts -- usually has something interesting on show, and the theatre centre showcases live performance. The Cultural Centre is connected to the Perth Railway Station by a convenient walkway. It's easy to spend a day checking out the Cultural Centre, there's something new every time I visit Perth.
