A fascinating journey through the history of video games and recreational computer technology.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, opening hours are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays. You can check public holiday schedules and buy your tickets directly on its official website: www.bonamimusic.nl.
The standard adult admission price is €18.50. Children under 2 enter free, and reduced rates are available for groups of more than 30 people. I recommend visiting the pricing section on their website to see all options and any updated discounts: bonamimusic.nl/tickets.
To fully enjoy the experience and try the many video games and consoles, it is recommended to allow at least 3 to 4 hours. It is an interactive museum, so the time may vary depending on your level of involvement and how many games you want to try.
Bonami Game Computer Museum is the largest video game museum in Europe, housing an impressive collection of more than 12,000 objects, from the earliest consoles to the most iconic arcade machines. Its importance lies in documenting and preserving the history of video games, allowing visitors not only to observe, but also to interact with and play most of the exhibited pieces, offering a nostalgic and educational journey through the evolution of digital entertainment.
For a quieter experience, I suggest visiting the museum on weekdays (Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday), preferably early in the morning. Weekends and school holidays are usually the busiest times.
Yes, Bonami Museum is designed to be accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make it easier to move between the different floors, making the visit comfortable for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. If you have any specific needs, it is always a good idea to contact them directly before your visit: +31 38 422 1785.
Absolutely! Zwolle is a charming city. After your visit to the museum, you can explore the historic center with its impressive Great Church or the imposing Sassenpoort. You can also enjoy a walk along the canal or visit Museum de Fundatie, known for its distinctive dome. The train station is relatively close to the museum, making it easy to reach other parts of the city and beyond.
I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as you will spend quite a bit of time standing and moving around. Make the most of the interactivity; do not hesitate to try the video games and arcade machines. If you are going with children, get ready for fun! And if you are passionate about video games, consider starting early so you can try everything that interests you without rushing. Do not forget to check their website in case there are special events: bonamimusic.nl/agenda.
