Im OBSESSED with Adam's Family Pinball, loved playing it as a teenager, but its hard to find. They have it here.... so much fun. $22 for unlimited pinball, Tuesdays are 2 for $22, so bonus if you go with a friend. I was very impressed with the machines and how everything was set up, especially by era. They even had free jukebox set up by era for music. Much larger than I anticipated, over 4 rooms full of games to play. Highly suggest a family night or date night here!

We spent over two hours enjoying the pinball machines. It's pretty cool to see the historic ones and read about each one. It's within walking distance to several restaurants which is convenient too. It was the highlight of my boys' winter break!

Lots of fun pinball machines and very helpful cool staff. It's nice to be able to walk out and re-enter when you want to get a snack or drink. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday, but expect a lot of noise from the machines. You may want to consider hearing protection or taking frequent breaks in the quieter parts of the museum.

Such a fun cool place. I learned a lot about the history of pinball and loved getting to try the early pinball machines and progressing through the years to the current ones. Also had fun choosing some tunes on the jukeboxes. The staff was super friendly and kind. They have REALLY clean restrooms and they provided tampons/pads!! They also have a little sitting area with free water. Got a couple of things from their gift shop area. They provide stools for the kids to reach and play. It was a good time and I can’t wait to be back.

An incredibly fun, and extremely interactive museum! After admission, there are hundreds of pinball machines to play for free. Once you receive the wristband, you can enter/exit the museum all day, so feel free to pop out to grab a bite to eat. We had a blast starting out with the machines from the 1950s, and then working our way up to the 2000s. 10/10
