    About as surreal, or super real, as it gets.

    A fun concept and a unique place to visit. It is like a mix between an arcade and a museum. There are seperate machines that you can use/interact with by inserting tokens. Some machines convey a socially relevant message and others don't (or I didn't get the message). It is fun playing around with them either way. The designs don't look perfect, so you can definitely tell they are handmade.

    Great experience, so many funachines to try. Yes the prices went up since inflation and it's £27 for tokens to try out all of the machines. But you can buy less and try only the ones you want. But it ain't so bad, you do get a lot of trinkets and memories with most of the machines. Definitely a fun time spend, especially if you are going with a friend.

    A very fun place to visit! The machines are really fun, especially if you are with someone. £27 buys you enough tokens to cover each machine once. Would recomend going for this option. Some of the machines give you rewards which are fun souvenirs to take home.
