Sparks Pinball Museum & Arcade - Troy — Attraction in Troy

Flat entry price Free Play Pinball arcade with a very wide and diverse set of games. Representation from just about every era, from electro-mechanicals hiding in the back to 2000s Sterns in the front with a good rows of classic 90's Williams hiding between? Never can go wrong with that.

Seeing a selection this wide in a hobby as passionate pinball is nothing new, but to open a new arcade location like this with the dedicated ownership fixing machines in real time? It's something you should make the trek out for, there's a lot of care and personal investment on display and even at the time of writing during what is the "Soft Opening" you can see so much of that care on display.

Alongside the pinball is a wide array of classic arcade standup games, some definitely unique titles I don't see often at all from even the coolest of retro cades (where the heck puts a 720 on the floor anymore??).

Between the wide selection, the affordable entry cost, and the wonderfully vibrant atmosphere that has been built so far? Make the trek. Between this location and the VARCADE across the hall you have quite a bit to stay warm and busy with on your...

It’s dark, and illuminated primarily by the glow of the machines, just as it should be. The layout is great, with interesting machines hiding all throughout. The only thing missing are the token machines and cigarette smoke. Both things I am happy to do without! In short, this place is basically like getting in a Time...

Sparks is an AMAZING place!! We came to celebrate a birthday and it was a hit! There so so many machines from different eras and all of them have information about that specific machine; we loved learning about the history and fun facts. They also have a decent amount of non-pinball games. We loved that everything was on Freeplay, it made it so easy to practice and improve. We also loved looking for the hidden PeeWee Herman dolls!! The bathrooms are very clean, the staff are all super kind and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. The rates are a great deal! They have pop, snacks, and candy and it is all very reasonably priced. We will...
