About
As kids, who among us never dreamed of growing up to be a sailor? After we go to space, naturally. This arcade game was created for those who never forgot their childhood dreams. And so, you are now looking through the periscope of a submarine and the enemy ships are sailing audaciously across the horizon, back and forth. Press “Start” and the green point representing a moving torpedo rushes towar

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I didn’t like it, I threw away my money, people stupidly make money out of nostalgia. Entrance currently costs 850 rubles. For this amount you get 15 coins of 15 k. And an entrance ticket. The most important thing is that there are very few machines there, they are repetitive and really work normally out of everything. These are 2 machines. The machine guns are all dead. Worn out. It's just an imitation of the game. Well, that is, you throw a coin, and that’s it, then the torpedo is not visible, then the monitor is dead dim, and so on. Totally sucks. It also often happens to me in this case, of course, in quotes I say lucky. Their toilet didn't work, that is. Relieve yourself somewhere near the fence, I won’t go there again and I don’t recommend it to you. I bought it based on the positive reviews.

I like the retro feel of the old arcade games. Feels like traveling back in time.
And the building fits it perfectly
Also nice to be able to try some of the old games. Really cool

We felt so lucky to be able to not only see, but play Soviet arcade games that people our own age would have played when we were kids. The ambiance of the museum is super fun, they have a nice cafe for snacks and good coffee, and the museum is right by major attractions.

Historic machines including some old favourites. Instructions to play available in English. Also an interesting small display of items from soviet times. Our mistake - we had only scheduled an hour.

My husband is a gaming geek, so this was a required stop during our trip to St Petersburg. We both ended up having a lot of fun playing the games, though we had to consult the English-language instruction sheet for some. We were pleasantly surprised to get a big discount because we’re senior citizens.

Blast from the past which will keep kids entertained.
There are a variety of arcade games which you get token for however you can also play computers games like Super Nintendo and PS. These are also a heap of fun and as parents a great blast from the past which the kids enjoyed too.
Easily the best activity in St Petersburg for kids. They didn’t want to leave and a great change of pace to the museums everywhere.

The arcade games here were very interesting and a fun experience! Most of the games have instructions in Russian and English on the walls so you can understand how to play, which I found very useful. I would definitely recommend coming here with kids, but even if you’re just a kid at heart, this place will be a great way to spend time playing some Soviet-era games at this hidden gem of St. Petersburg.

A refreshing break from the countless historical treasures around St Petersburg, such as the breathtaking Church of Spilled Blood just around the corner. Try the basketball table for two players. We were so instantly hooked on this game, we filled out the feedback forms just to get two extra game tokens. A fun place to visit with great atmosphere.

It's a vintage and cool arcade, they gave us coins in a match box and we played old but functioning properly games mostly from the eighties.
We spent an hour but you could spend more time if you want to play more games.
They have some cool souvenirs that could be purchased too.
P.S Ticket is very affordable , plus they give discounts to students if you show student ID.

How do I get there using public transportation? how much for admission fee?
Written 19 November 2016
The closest metrostation is Nevsky prospect. You need to choose the exit to Griboedov chanel. The museum is situated not far from the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. The basic entrance ticket to museum costs 450 rubles, the preferential ticket costs 350 rubles. All the tickets include 15 coins for playing arcade machines.
