By no means am I a regular pinball player, maybe playing the occasional cabinet in the back of a bar or arcade. This place though... my girlfriend and I drove an hour to go here and we were immediately impressed by the amount of machines they have available. The staff excitedly greeted us and explained the pay-per-hour process. The place was full of people but I never felt like I couldn't get to any cabinet eventually, and you can simply play one of the other 60 machines while you wait. Highly recommend the 2 HOUR price because we felt 1 HOUR was not enough to experience it all, and we wanted to. There's also arcade cabinets and console tvs set up. $10 an hour to play 90% of the machines for free was easily the cheapest price I've ever paid compared to all the barcades/ Chunky Cheesers/ David's and Bruster's. The other 10% of machines charge $1 per play and that all goes to charity. CONS: Console and board games severely lacking (but that's not why you go) PROS: Enthusiastic staff, so many pinball and arcade machines you'll never have down time, very very affordable. There's a list of machines on their website, I'd call ahead to make sure if there's a specific machine you want to play that it's working (TMNT arcade was down when I went). We didn't think we loved pinball that much, but now we totally get it. They also host events and tournaments and some of the games...
Read moreAmazing!! Drove almost 2 hours to visit and it was so worth it! The owners and staff are so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We paid for the whole day and made good use of it.
All of the machines are set to free play, and you can spend the day hopping from game to game. That was a mind-blown moment at first, and we had to fight the urge to jump and giggle like school kids and run in like maniacs!
The machines are very well maintained and there's such a good mix of old school and newer games. There are also areas with older console games and tabletop games as well for those interested.
When we were there, it was pretty busy but never felt like we were cramped next to others. Plenty of room to move around and enjoy all of the machines. They do have air circulating, but it did get a little hot in there, which was completely expected.
Was an amazing day! We will definitely be back again and paying for another day of fun. Highly recommend anyone to go and experience this one of a kind...
Read moreMy husband is a member of Pinball Gallery and participates in the leagues. When I saw that you can host private parties at the venue, I booked a 2-hour slot and planned a surprise birthday party for him. The staff were extremely conscientious in helping me organize the party without my husband finding out (a difficult feat, as he goes there weekly!) It was incredibly easy to book the space online and there was ample room to write comments particular to your event. The day of the surprise party, staff arrived early and helped the assembled guests hide behind the partition and kept an eye out for our arrival so as to warn the guests that the moment of surprise was imminent. To put it simply, they helped me pull off the ultimate surprise. My husband was truly shocked and everyone had an amazing time. Thank you to the amazing staff for providing the backdrop and doing all the behind-the-scenes work to ensure a truly epic...
