If you work, live, or spend your free time in Zurich’s Kreis 9, you already know that Altstetten is booming. From the bustling shopping aisles of Letzipark to the electric atmosphere of Stadion Letzigrund and the busy transit hub of Bahnhof Altstetten, there is always something going on. The district is alive with energy. But let’s be brutally honest: the standard cafe routine can get a little stale. When you want to truly disconnect and experience something memorable, another coffee shop just won’t cut it.
You are looking for a real hidden gem in Altstetten—a place that offers excitement, nostalgia, and an interactive experience you cannot find anywhere else in Zurich. Enter GamePlaza, the premier video game museum located right in your neighborhood.
More Than a Museum: A Time Machine in Kreis 9
At GamePlaza, we firmly believe that hanging out should be an immersive adventure, not a passive activity. We have meticulously curated a space that goes far beyond simply looking at dusty exhibits behind glass enclosures. Instead, we invite you to step into a living, breathing time machine. Our halls are illuminated by the vibrant neon lights of classic arcade systems, and the air is filled with the iconic startup sounds of retro video game consoles that defined generations.
Every corner of GamePlaza is designed with aesthetic precision, blending retro-futuristic branding with striking visual layouts. It is not just an interactive playground; it is a highly visual space that provides the perfect backdrop for your social media content, far away from the mundane cafe aesthetic.
Experience Computing History Hands-On
For the tech enthusiasts, graphic designers, and history buffs among you—perhaps those taking a well-deserved break from the nearby corporate hubs—we have preserved the true milestones of computing and gaming history. You can get hands-on with the Magnavox Odyssey, the legendary pioneer that brought the arcade experience into the living room and started the home console revolution.
If you want to dive deeper into the computing revolution, you can relive the golden era of 8-bit computing with our pristine Commodore 64 setups. Experience the hardware that taught a generation how to code and play. And if you are a fan of the fierce console wars of the 90s, our extensive Sega Saturn collection will transport you right back to the glory days of 32-bit architecture and arcade-perfect ports.

GamePlaza is not just a sanctuary for hardcore gamers; it is the ultimate hangout spot for everyone. Whether you are searching for a highly unique date idea, planning a fun afternoon after a long shopping trip at Letzipark, or looking for an unforgettable venue to host a party, we have you covered.
