About National Videogame Museum

The National Videogame Museum opened in 2016 in the Frisco Discovery Center and covers the history of video games from early consoles to today. Many exhibits are playable, from a retro arcade to living-room setups and old home computers, and display cases hold rarities like the only known Sega Neptune prototype. Admission includes 4 arcade tokens, and extra tokens cost 25 cents. Tickets are sold only at the museum window: $12 for adults and $10 for kids 3 to 10.
