I was a teenager in the 80s, and the arcade was my favorite place to hang out. Pinball Wizard recreates that 80s arcade perfectly. The games are well maintained. Most video games cost one token to play, and the most pinball games are two tokens. Tokens cost one quarter each, unless you spend $20 - in which case you get a hundred tokens (20¢ per token, if you dont feel like doing the math). Its actually cheaper to play that way than it was in the eighties!

Was a great location to play a ton of older pinball and arcade games, convenient to good quick food options, and Im sad to see it closed.

I spent several hours there with my son and his girlfriend. We each got 100 tokens for $20. Cheapest great time around! They have far and away the best selection of pinball games in New England. Plus its clean and the staff is great. Theres a pizza place next door, so theres really no reason to leave!

The place is great! Neat, clean, the machines are in well-maintained condition. I love how it has arcade classics from the 90s. I am all about the fighters and shooters. it is NOT expensive. If it is expensive for you, you are either really terrible at games, or you are cheap. I spent $20 and played around for 2.5 hrs, throwing tokens into anything I could find, and giving a quarter of them to my friends.I would seriously consider getting a beer and wine license and having it 21+ say from 9pm to closing. or make a designated bar area for adults most of the day/night.I would have given it 5 stars if it had a snack bar. but overall it is wonderful, me and my friends will be back again

Wonderful collection of pinballs, kept in excellent condition. Primarily solid state pinballs, mechanicals are bit underrepresented.

They have amazing old video games and it is a great way to spend the day! The people there are great and you get to relive some of your childhood or in my case go back in time since Im too young to remember any of these games when they first came out!

The place was a lot of fun for me and my seven year old. Dozens of pinball machines. There were fewer ticketgames than other arcades, but that was fine by me. Good local establishment

We had a great corporate outing to Pinball Wizard. It was an awesome place to hang out, play old school games and pinball, socialize, and have a little scoring competition. Its also quite inexpensive overall to play games here for a few hours. Great fun!

Hands down, the best pinball arcade Ive ever visited. The collection of machines (including vintage and classic stuff) is spectacular, and everything is in flawless working condition (in stark contrast to many such places). If you love pinball and/or video games, you will be hard-pressed to find a better, more enjoyable location to scratch that itch.

Best pinball arcade Ive ever been to. That includes both the New Jersey and Las Vegas Halls of Fame. Its that good. I love 90s pinball, I think the Williams and bally games of that era are the pinnacle of the craft. Theres a nice selection of those games here, and best of all, they all work perfectly!

These folks really know the arcade business... Their location is a little out of the way, and lacking curb appeal, but what a GREAT ARCADE! We were visiting from out of state and only stopped by for a couple of hours on the way to the Manchester airport, but were so glad we did.The game selection is excellent, and very well-maintained. The low illumination, volume levels, layout of the aisles and grouping of the machines really demonstrate that the owners know what theyre doing. I hesitate to share this because I kinda feel like this might be the best kept secret in the arcade world.Make sure you stop by if you get a chance, you wont be disappointed.

Why dont more places like this exist in the world?!?! All of their machines are in excellent working condition. If only they served drinks this place would be so much more appealing.

Cool arcade, incredible number of pinball and vintage games. Lots of games ID never heard off before. Bit out of the way, but worth the detour. Prices are good too, $20=100 tokens, enough for two people to play for an hour or so.

Lots of great, well maintained pinball machines. A nice mix of pinball and video games including the latest machines. Highly recommended for those who miss the classic arcades of the 80s.

Fun place to enjoy some old school video games, pool and several ticket based games as well. Decent selection of prizes to redeem your tickets and a good variety at each level.Theyre right next door to Chunkys Cinema so it can make for a fun night of a movie and games. We like the Deal or No Deal game!

The pinball wizard has the worlds largest selection of pinball machines, and is a fantastic place to go. They also have a good selection or arcade games, billiard tables, and air hockey.

Pinball Wizards arcade is an eclectic experience with vintage pinball machines and arcade cabinets. $20 gets you a hundred tokens and hours of fun for the whole family.

LOVE IT! Redemption game fanatic? Come here, lots of tickets to collect for prizes, even older ticket games are here. Classic 80s gamer? They got them, from Pac-Man to Donkey Kong and a few others, they are awesome. Pinball guru? From old electromechanical games to collector favorites and newer Stern/Jersey Jack pinball, this is what I call The Pinball Hall of Fame of New England. BTW, the owner of this place is a crazy pinball collector, so you will see more rare Bally/Williams pinball tables (ex. Medieval Madness, only about 4,000 made) and limited editions from Stern (ex. Star Trek, Walking Dead, Transformers, Ford Mustang). He still keeps up with the other 80s games and ticket dispensers. Plus, you can get 100 coins for the price of 80 at $20. Truly the best arcade Ive ever been to.

Fun place, had a great time. Dont bother with the tickets the prizes arent very good and the level is pretty high to get much more than a tootsie roll. Love that they had Galaga

This arcade is much better maintained than Funspot overall and is only an hour away. Theres an excellent mix of pins and a good number of classic and 90s arcade games. Everything is in great shape! This isnt like Funspot where half the games are down or have horrible screens. The pins arent routed to hell and beat up. It has the quality of a small, labor-of-love style arcade but with a huge number of games.

Best pinball arcade in the north east. Tons of machines, maintained well. $20 gets you 100 tokens, with plenty of machines that only require 2 tokens a game.

Tons of great games and are in pretty good condition. Wide variety of pinball machines - including Medieval Madness and Twilight Zone - and classic arcade games as well. Get ready to spend money though because it is EXPENSIVE.All machines are token operated and the best deal you can get is $0.20 per token if you get 100 tokens at a time. Medieval Madness is 4 tokens PER play, ($0.80) and The Hobbit is 5 tokens per play ($1.00). No bonus credits like 5 credits for the cost of 4 either. Definitely the most expensive pinball Ive ever played.Ill go back for the games, but I wont like how much Ill pay for it.

Some machines are really pricy, but the classics are a great value at one token a play. You can do the ticket gathering games to get prizes, but dont expect to get a great deal on those. Its prize cost is par for arcades.And they have so many pinball machines!

Pinball fans wet dream or anyone who visited arcades in the 80s. A ridiculous number of pinball machines, I could spend weeks there. Also has some great classic arcade games that will bring back some serious child hood memories. Even found many games Ive never seen before.If I had to find something to complain about, Id say there were a fair number of machines that were out of order, but maybe only one of which I actually would have played. Also the newer pinball machines (ones that retail in the $6k or more range) are pretty darn pricey at 4 tokens, which equates to a little under $1 if you do the 100 tokens for $20 exchange. Its not a huge deal as there is so much selection that I was more than happy playing the 1 or 2 token games all day long.Too bad I live an hour away otherwise Id be here often.

I regret to inform all that Pinball Wizard Arcade has closed Shop in the summer of 2017. It will be missed for the reasons I wrote my initial Review***************************************************************************How much better than this can it get? An arcade which features all of the hit video and pinball games from when you were a teenager. This is from that golden age of gaming where you would go down with your buddies and play your favorites.Pacman, Galaga, Choplifter, Defender, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Tron...To list but a small few recognizable titles from the era. ALL here for your retro era enjoyment. Not into 80s 8bit play? Fear not. They keep up to date throughout the decades of Joystick tugging, button punching fun.Pinballs pinballs pinballs which occupies at least 1/3 of the premises. My personal Favorite is Star Trek. The original series, not Next Generation make it so nonsense. Although they have that one too.All machines are Token based. And even feature bonus tokens if you purchase in $20 bills.Chunkys, a Dinner/Theater experience is located around the corner. Literally, you walk around a corner and can catch eats and a movie. Eateries are next door. Also literally, walk to the next door for Pizza and Chinese food.Theres nothing not to like about this place.

Ah yes Pinball Wizard Arcade I love this place I have been there twice now and I still love it. They have my favorite arcade machines like PAC-MAN a fan favorite! They have alot of my favorite ticket winning machines like slam-a-winner I won the jackpot twice, got the 75 ticket hole,the 50 ticket hole,and tge 25 ticket hole twice!!! And one of my personal favorites Deal or No Deal I won 200 tickets when I played it. They even have a Nintendo super system arcade machine where you can play Classic SNES games. You put a token inside and you cab play 1 if the 3 games for a limited amount of time, If you put more tokens in there you get more time. They even have my favorite SNES game Super Mario World where I can choose which zone I can go I always pick zone 2 because I wanted to Beat the game as fast as I can, I beated it 3 times because I love that game so much. I would recommend this to my friends And my family and would definitely go there again some other time.

They have a ton of Capcom fighters, many well known 80s classics (Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Q*bert, BurgerTime), a healthy selection of popular 90s titles (Virtual-On, Gauntlet Legends, Crisis Zone), and big selection of pinball machines! You can tell the most popular machines have been carefully selected. Everything I wouldve wanted to be there was there, with so many other machines that Id never seen before! They have ticket games and prize grabbers for the kids too! Cannot recommend this place enough!

A lot of the machines seem to be adjusted so the table has as much tilt as possible, and all the bumpers are spread out all the way, making every game as difficult as possible. That being said, they keep the machines working well, the place is clean, and I keep going back.

Im from Massachusetts and every time I visit in-laws in NH I stop here because down near me there are no classic arcade places like this one. Everything is a nightmare of tickets and cheap prizes. This place rocks
