I absolutely loved this place. They have a variety of different pinball machines, both antique and modern. The prices to play varies on how old or new the machines are ($.25-$1) but still extremely cheap to say the least! I liked playing air hockey, the claw machines to get key chains, and am very sad I had to leave so soon. This place is a definite must-visit for every time I go to Vegas from now on!

My family forgot to bring quarters, but luckily they have several change machines. Very fun activity, especially considering the only charges are the machines themselves. The newer machines usually take a few more quarters so keep that in mind; but there are still quite a few that fun with just 1 per play. Highly recommend if youre in town!

Nostalgia and pure fun. Ever thought about owning a pinball and dont have the space? You can store it here for a nominal fee while making a nominal profit. The most exciting part of this business is playing the machines.Age does not exist here. What a wonderment to introduce your millennial, X- generation or boomerang to this past time.Games range from .25 to 1.00. Oftentimes there are small carrots with free games. You can easily find a game from the 50s to current years. Game shows themes, iconic movies or t.v. shows are certain to keep your interest. And these games talk to you... Mostly.As crazy as it sounds, if you are a weekend parent, spend your time here. Memories are sure to be implanted to connect with your young one.Two to three hours to engage is plentiful. Exciting adventure for locals, comic-cons, adventures and even a cool first date.Support, donate, and share about the Pinball Museum.

This is probably the coolest pinball arcade Ive been too. The wooden ones are the best! The owner is extremely kind and there is a very cool cat roaming about accepting pets from anyone. Highly recommend a visit.

Tons of awesome machines. It is free to get in, just bring quarters (or cash for the machine). Lots of old games my husband felt super nostalgic. His favorite was the bubble hockey machine.Note: they do not allow infants or strollers.

This is a must see in Vegas for a trip down memory lane. Cool retro pinball machines circa 1950s onward plus a handful of old school arcade games. Best $5.00 youll ever spend in Vegas. Donate to their non-profit cause to keep this amazing display of pinball machines going! Nice that its off the busy hustle and bustle of the Strip...

This place is awesome. Ive been out to Vegas 4 times and on my last visit I finally got to check it out and it was fully worth it. They have machines from the past 60 or so years and the most expensive pinball machine is 75 cents(!!) Definitely worth the visit and the experience.

Workers tried to space people apart by having every machine turned off. When I wanted to use one that was off, they kindly switched some around for me. Amazing collection!

Highly recommend this place for anyone families, solo travelers, friends, or couples as a fun spot to unwind from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. They have everything you need here from change machines that break even $20 bills, to non-pinball games, to drink machines. A low-key spot that doesnt disappoint for a fun time with hundreds of great games that preserve history. Really appreciate all the work the staff does here to keep these games running.

As bottom of the baby boomer, which is around 50, pin ball machine game is in our blood. Its hard to find a decent machine nowadays anywhere. whether is in any bowling alleys or normal arcade, itll be either bad connection or luzy conditions for the limited pin ball machine selection. This place is kind of run down looking from outside, not fancy is inside either, but the variety and quality of the pin ball machine has amazed me. I was like all of sudden drop into a pin ball heaven. Its like a pin ball museum but all the machines are in great condition, well maintained, I had a incredible afternoon in my Vegas trip. Will definitely come back next time when Im in town again

A must visit venue if you enjoy classic Pinball and are visiting in Vegas. The selection of pinball (and some arcade) machines is great and I was able to enjoy some of my all time favorite machines from the 80s and 90s. This place actually benefits by being distanced from the Vegas strip, attracting the right crowd of pinball enthusiasts and families looking to have a good time. Pricing is fair to boot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. This is a nice place to bring kids to let them play. I bought a roll of quarters, but kept winning so many free games. I had to leave free games just to play other machines. It was so much fun, it will be one of my go to places in Vegas.

You want to have a fun date night that brings you back to your child hood. Do you want to discover a new place with antique games as well as modern pinball machines . This place is awesome and has kept its charm for more then a decade. Also the owner has been on a couple reality tv shows here in Vegas and is on site to fix the machines and refund you that debunked quarter that just wouldnt read on the register . Great times every time .

They were very accommodating and welcoming! Lots of games I had never seen before. It is kid friendly, but there are aisles to avoid should you bring them. Quickly spent but it all goes to charity as the people there are volunteers!

Owner was a huge bit#$. She followed my husband and I around like a hawk! Most of the machines didnt even work and were extremely overpriced. A lot of them took my money and didnt let me play. We got a photo in the photo booth and as soon as we got out and went to grab our photos she rudely requested us to leave so she could clean the machine. Dont waste your money or time here. I felt harassed by the owners and my time was not enjoyable because of it.

Review №34

As a Vegas local, I have referred a ton of people here to support this great small non profit however my recent experience was quite disappointing.Never once did any employee say “hello” or “welcome in” but instead my first conversation was when I was approached to put masks on my 5 year old daughter, I immediately apologized and said “I’m so sorry, the mask mandate is for 7 years or older so I just assumed” I grabbed her mask to put it on her in hopes the employee (an older woman) would leave me alone, except she didn’t. She proceeded to give me a very long winded explanation of how ill the manager or owner is etc etc. I apologized again and then she responded “well the real reason I came over here was to tell you about that drink” I looked over and realized I had placed my bottle of water on top of a pinball machine. I immediately took it off.We continued to play and as I was playing with my husband an older gentleman employee approached me and said “cover tour nose with your mask” I didn’t realize while playing my mask fell down a little. I apologized and fixed it and he rolled his eyes, saying nothing else, no response just walked away.I then started to feel on edge like I was not welcomed at all. But we decided to stay because our kids were enjoying it.Well a few minutes later I was playing on another pinball machine when the employee approached my child, telling her to not lean on the machine and started to explain to my 5 year old that they were old and fragile etc etc.We left. Three strikes.I completely understand wanting to protect these beautiful machines and the nostalgia that comes along with it, however do not open it to the public if you do not know how to speak to fellow human beings politely. If you can not handle having your precious machines available to the future generations then close down.What is the point of sharing this place to the public if you create an environment of negativity?I felt like a child (and not in a good way)I can also give your management/employees tips on how to speak to people. Here is a very simple example:“Hey welcome in! We are glad you are here. Not sure if this is your first time but I just wanted to remind you that bottles of water can’t be on the machines, thank you so much. Have fun!”ORInstead of approaching a 5 year old little girl as an adult old man maybe speak with the parents and say “hello, I’m glad you guys are having fun. We love sharing our cool games, can you make sure your little ones don’t lean to hard on the games? They are super old.....just like me!”

Amazing. Large assortment of coin ops, vending, claws, video games and rows and rows of dozens of pinball machines packed in. Ive only seen some of these more antique games and coin ops in Santa Cruz or Disney. Haunted House pinball is the best one, it has a double playing board you can activate.

Review №41

Great place to spend a hour or two away from the heat. The machines are well maintained and fully operational. If for whatever reason the machine takes your quarter you can easily track an associate down and theyll happily refund your money. The low lighting brings the machines to life even more. Most if not all machines have a index card attached that gives a brief history of whichever machine youre enjoying. $20 will easily satisfy a family of four for an hour, maybe two depending on how good you are. Hope some of this information is helpful.

Review №42

Fantastic space holding some old school, mid school and new school pinball machines. They also have some very rare machines that are worth the extra coin. Most of the machine cost 50 per play and the newer models are a buck. Personally prefer the older machines since the play fields are less cluttered and have a special feel to them that anyone who appreciates machines can experience. Some of the machines were down, but thats to be expected considering the mechanics and electronics found in these machine, but the ratio of down to functional machines was more than enough. If you have an affinity for mechanical, electronics, or just want to see the beginning of arcade machines youll easily burn a few hours here. I cannot wait to see the machine they bring out of storage for their new location and will make a trip back just to play those.

Review №46

I thoroughly enjoyed the $20 in quarters I spent here. There are so many different kinds of machines, some nearly 90 years old like the Jigsaw machine. Others are nearly brand new like Wizard of Oz and The Hobbit. If you enjoy pinball machines, youre likely to find something youve played before and remember fondly and definitely going to find something youve never seen before.There is an ATM machine and change machines on site. All games use quarters, but there is no admission charge to the building. As others have said, its one of the better values in Vegas and worth a pinball fans time and effort to check it out.

I love the different themed pinball machines and arcade games they have. To adhere to the social distancing guidelines, they have closed down every other machine but there are still plenty to enjoy. Masks are required to enter. Games cost anywhere from $0.25 to $2.00 to play.

What an amazing place to spend some time if you need a chill place. Im not really a gambler but I am a huge nerd so this place was perfect for me. There are so many old pinball machines to play here and there is stuff in here you have never seen before. In addition to the pinball there are various old school video games from the golden age and even some mechanical based ones that will have you thinking, how did they do that ? Definitely worth your time if you are into arcades. I loved the space themed ones in particular.

Review №53

This was an interesting and super fun place to be. Each machine has a tiny note card with information about the game and where it came from. But, its mostly just fun! I was much happier playing games here then gambling. We were a group of 6 and easily able to spend almost 2 hours here. There are vending machines and a popcorn machine but no other food, and no outside food or beverages are allowed. It also is a non smoking facility.

Pretty neat place. In an unassuming strip mall that had seen better days. Really cool pinball machines from 1960 to today. Free entry and games are only $.25 to $1. Not the cleanest or most organized but everything was nice. Or says it benefits a charity. They also seem rarely knowledgeable about the games.

Review №62

I have been coming here since they opened at their current location. I try to go here every time I’m in Vegas. Please understand: this is a volunteer-operated group. They keep this place going from their hearts and souls. Sometimes the machines fit work right. Bummer. It does happen. Tell someone and they will try to fix it. Your quarters mean this place keeps providing hours of entertainment. It’s dark. You may need a light if you have trouble seeing in the dark. They have quarter changers right on sight (takes up to $20 bill I think) as well as little dishes for quarters. I usually spend $20-30 and about 2 hours per person. Besides pinball, they also have classic arcade, skill, and novelty machines (try the Donald Duck casting machine).

Tons of pinball and other vintage games. Super chill atmosphere. Such a cool place. Like stepping back into my childhood, or maybe my parents childhood. They had tons of stools for kids to get up to see/play games. I could have easily spent 3 hours here. My 3 year old loved it, but I think my husband loved it more! They have 25¢ popcorn and some vending machine snacks. One thing to mention is that it looks like nothing from the outside. Cheap sign over an otherwise unmarked building. But dont be fooled, its super neat inside. Go check it out.

If youre visiting Vegas and want to escape the strip, Id highly recommend checking out the pinball hall of fame. Its only a 10m drive from the strip. Theres tons of amazing pinball machines along with a variety of classic and rare arcade games, some that have only a few copies manufactured. Great way to spend a couple hours and enjoy some real, quality gaming. Also, the proceeds go to charity.

Game geeks paradise. They have over 200 classic pinball & game machines here in perfect working order. Some of them are the best examples of the machines Ive ever seen. Its an amazing celebration of a true American art form: they have tables and games from as long ago as 1947, beautifully refurbished and perfectly playable. They also have truly unique pieces of history too. In 1993-1994, two prototypes of the remarkable cabinet Pinball Circus were made. One was never finished; the other is right here in the hall of fame, and for the price of $1 you can take the opportunity to have an experience that is absolutely unique throughout the world. The staff are really great, the hall is dark but welcoming, they have popcorn and the musics not too loud. And - AND - its all for charity, with all proceeds going to The Salvation Army and other charities of staffs choice. In short - sheer perfection, and a place of real joy and beauty in a pretty ugly town. If there were 10 stars to give I would give them all.

This place is huge. There is no other place like this. Packed full of games to play. Every machine is there for you to pump your quarters in and blast of to a simpler time. The variety is amazing. The fact that all the profits go to charity, just blew me away. Open late and fun for everyone. They stress a family oriented business and have a ZERO tolerance policy for : Cannabis, Cannabis Smell On You, Cigarettes, Alcohol or Bad Behavior. This is nice because once inside you feel safe and happy to have fun.

Amazing! This hands on museum allows you to play classic pinball machines and arcade games. This place has quite a collection of machines. The price to play ranges from $.25 cents to a $1 dollar. All work incredibly well and are a joy to experience. They offer popcorn and soft drinks for sale. They even have claw machines, and again quite a few that actually work. This place is a gem. If you enjoy pinball or classic vintage arcade games you need to visit when your in Las Vegas.

Review №88

Just walk in and, get a bunch of quarters and spend some time with machines from any era of pinball history. There is a lot of enjoy from vintage and rudimentary to the very sophisticated modern tables. There is something for everyone, even bunch of 80s arcade machines with Joust and Mario Bros. The new machines are dollar per play, the bit older ones are dollar or 75c, but a lot of them offer three credits for two dollars deals. There is a bathroom in the bak and you can also get some popcorn with your quarters. Recommend.

(Early post shutdown update review)Very few people, masks available for purchase at the entrance, hand sanitizer readily available! Quarter candy is gone for now and so is popcorn :/ every other machine is down to distance. The oldest machine isle is blocked off for a work area but a few new older ones are on display including a disco one that is wide and beautiful enough I want to make love to.All the tables lights, bumpers and flippers that I played were beautiful! The tables were well oiled and it was a dream to be able to hear the marble roll it was so quiet!I love phof! I’ve been there too many times to count! I love to be able to go back here and find some comfort in a time of insanity.Love ya Beth! Miss ya Louie!Stay safe, sane and wonderful!
