Pinball Palace in Brunswick GA is pinball nirvana. They have the latest Stern machines with online scoring & machines from most past decades that players will remember. The local champion is NIK, & you will to bring your absolute best to beat his high scores. I counted 46 machines ready for play, but I am not sure I went in to every room. They have a few video games & lots of fun things for the small kids with a room dedicated to bounce houses & such. The building is 1 block off the main road by 1 block, look for the Rent All sign & turn there on Hopkins. Outside its a plain early medieval castle with a drawbridge looking entrance. Inside the theme continues with a couple of standing suits of Armour. This is the most fantastic pinball shop I have ever visited. The spacing is good, & they have plenty of stools for those of us who like to sit. The big bonus here is how well the machines are maintained. Every machine plays exactly as it should. They are well broken in machines, yet most play like they are nearly new. That is due to the superb maintenance. The machines are lively, making shots easier to hit. The scores here are the highest I have ever seen on Stern machines. Nik & his father were kind enough to give me instruction on some of the games. I didn't post any lifetime high scores but I did go deeper in to the game storyline than ever before because when you make a shot it counts, as it should. They have the rare 007 anniversary edition, & the limited edition of most of the Stern machines. Plenty of machines from the 90's & 80's that boomers will remember. You can pay by the hour or an unlimited play day pass. They have canned sodas & beer. 3 restrooms. The building is divided in to rooms like a house. The newest machines are in the front room. The place is not crowded even during peak hours. It is a quiet shop, I usually need ear plugs to play because at most arcades it's 100 decibels during peak times but you won't find that here. It's a family friendly environment. For serious players, this is a bucket place must visit. It was $30 for...

Read moreA "Must Visit" if you are staying in Brunswick for awhile! My wife & I and another couple had a BLAST at the Pinball Palace!! The staff is really great, too! We loved this place so much we're debating whether to go back to Brunswick for just this - even if it IS an hour and a half away! The prices are super reasonable - $10 for an hour (not nearly enough time!) - $15 for 2 hours, or $25 for ALL DAY! We started with the 2 hr package - was having so much fun and time passed so quickly that we upgraded to the whole day. The staff just asked that we pay the difference ($10) which was more than reasonable. The Pinball Palace occupies a sub-divided structure containing a number of rooms. There is also a large "play room" for little kids towards the back - that's where the air hockey game is, as well as little playgrounds for the little 'uns to enjoy. It's behind closed glass doors which means no noise intrusion into the pinball parlors, nor little toddlers straying underfoot. They've got classic pinball from the old days (1975 or so - I played "Hocus Pocus", an old fav of mine) as well as newer machines with all the tricks, lights, bells, and whistles. If you get the chance - VISIT. It's some of the most fun I ever had in...
