Retro arcade with more than 120 playable games on original and restored arcade machines from the 80s, 90s and 2000s at the National Film & Sci-fi Museum.
The Pixel Bunker Retro Arcade is running at the National Film & Sci-fi Museum in Milton Keynes throughout 2026, with sessions from May right through to December. It's a dedicated retro gaming space inside the museum, and each session lasts three hours.
Inside, there are more than 120 playable games on original and restored arcade machines from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. You'll find the big names you remember — Pacman, Donkey Kong, Outrun, Track & Field, Street Fighter 2 and Space Invaders — alongside pinball, sit-down racing cabs and light gun games. The best bit is that once you've paid your entry fee, every game is free play, so you don't need to carry a pocket full of coins.
Under-16s can come along as long as they're with a parent or legal guardian, so it works as a family outing as much as a trip for anyone who grew up in the arcades. If you book and then can't make it, you can get a refund up to seven days before your session.
