Atomic Pinball Arcade — Local services in Wood River

I knew what I expected. I expected 75% of the machines to be working. Each with 95% of the lights and most of the flippers working. I expected the place to be dirty.

What I got: 100% of the machines worked, every single light not only worked but was the correct brightness (not dim or overbright). Every flipper worked - worked like it was brand new! All the rubber parts were fresh. Even the bumpers worked evenly. You've probably seen where the letters/numbers on the bumpers gets faded and yellowed from years of lights. Not here. The floor was clean and there wasn't even fingerprints on the glass.

My family had a great time. When we got home my dad excitedly told my mom they had the first two pinball tables that they'd ever played. My kids enjoyed the Star Trek 2014 release (table retails for 6-8 thousand).

Awesome awesome place. Wish I didn't live 250 miles away or I'd be there again...

What a great establishment! I'm visiting from the Philadelphia area. My cousin shot me some pics a few months back & said we have to come to this place when I fly in. Being a bit of a pinhead myself & owning 5 high-end, heavily modded tables myself, I was anxiously awaiting our arrival. This place is super clean, the games are well taken care of, the atmosphere is modern but of course has that nostalgic feel & the employees are well informed. Definitely give this place a go!! It's worth a heafty drive if you live far away. You won't be disappointed. Thanks a lot, Atomic! You've done a wonderful job with your establishment & I'll let as many people know about it as I can. Keep it up! You deserve & I wish you all the success that you'll have in your...

Over 110 pinball machines as well as shuffleboard, tabletop Galaga, Pac-Man, dual Jurassic Park shooting game, classic Nintendo, Atari - We can't say enough about this place! So much fun! Machines are well-maintained and cleanliness is apparent. Bathrooms and the whole facility have always been clean the few times we've been there. They have a kitchen-like lounge with an island style table to eat. Snack and soda machines are on premises, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that... wait for it - you can bring your own drinks and snacks in a cooler to the place!! Outdoor sitting area for smokers. Open Fri-Sat. until 11pm and Wed. for league play, this is definitely a place to go...
