Gameorama has quickly become a favourite of mine and my boys. They enjoy trying out old arcade and pinball machines before getting stuck on new console games. I love the insights about the history of play and the odd bits of information, and I enjoy playing some of the old games that I grew up with. The café with its dozens (or hundreds?) of board and card games is great, too, and can be enjoyed free of charge.

This collection was unexpectedly excellent. They have a 35 minute video which is worth watching to learn how the family put together their collection, describing their friendship with many famous artists like Picasso. A gem for art lovers.

Even if you are travelling without children, there are a lot of fun things to do. Coming from an edutainment background, we really appreciate a museum with lots of hands on activities. The place is segmented into different transportation types, starting with locomotives. In each sections, there aren't just panels to read and buttons to press. There were simulators - the air craft simulator looks fun, it turned 360 degrees, games - there was one screen where you have to try to load a container onto a train, slides! Many other science museums can learn a lot from here. If you're bringing children, half a day may not be enough but fret not as there are restaurants inside.
