Swiss Museum of Games

Castle turret, plenty of games and cool playpark. Much larger and interactive than I was expecting - absolutely amazing place for any age. Shows the history of games aswell as current evolutions. Unique video games aswell and great space for young children. Breakout room with board games, easy to pick up in any language and there's a space for coffee and snacks. We will visit again, especially for the large playpark outside and castle turret too. Friendly staff, clean tidy and well worth the entry fee.

Beautiful castle, with even more beautiful view on lake. Not so easy to find parking spot. There is a playground. Although I spent childhood playing board games, chess etc - part of museum linked to board games was boring. Sorry☹️ some fun were computer games, we had lot of fun playing one together with my son for long time, in one of rooms as well as on the way were some games. In my opinion museum should over time increase presence of computer games. I realized that even if my favorite board games would be in museum, looking at them would be… boring :( it is nice that there is a separate space you can play some of board games with family or friends.

What an amazing gem to visit while in Romandie! We went to one of their open soirees with a free access and complementary drinks & nibbles. It was an amazing experience for both us and the little one! The museum is situated in front of the beautiful lake in Vevey, very centrally located. The building is an old big castle very well maintained and with amazing exteriors and interiors. Inside, the reception staff where friendly and they invited us to explore the 2 floors, full of games from the past times, and some more modern ones, open for everyone to explore, and some just on display. Bonus that there is a toilet in every floor plus lifts. The architect has done some amazing work as every corner inside serves a purpose and it invites you to play and immerse yourself in the games world. After the play exploration, we enjoyed warm wine and chestnut soup in the common area, with the friendly staff inviting us to play a card game, staying with us at the table to teach us how to play it! Little one also played with LEGO corner. What a festive atmosphere, it was like entering a fairytale! I hope to be back <3

Went on a weekday, it was virtually empty, just one other group that appeared to be getting a private tour. They had a special exhibit of the influence of nature and the environment on games. It was nicely done, and nice to see some of the history of games. We also stayed to play some of the board game collection downstairs. The staff was friendly, and allowed us to use their elevator for a mobility-challenged person in my group. A fun way to spend the morning! We followed it with lunch along Quai Roussy and a nice stroll down to Ze Fork!

The entry fee was covered in STP. The place was too remote and time taken to reach was too much to pay a visit. It was in some cool castle but some part are in renovation.

Excellent museum, with information about the games available in multiple languages. The museum is interactive, many games can be played. Engaging and great for children and game enthusiasts.

Great location right by the lake with its very own playground (!). Large selection of Games inside as well as fascinating exhibitions about the history of board games.

We were able to show our children how games have evolved through the centuries, the museum has many exhibits inside this castle and you can find games that you can use or play.
