This place was great. The staff members were very friendly and the people were nice. The pinball machines and arcades were fun and the drinks were inexpensive. My only flaw was that some arcade machines werent working and when I played MK2 it was kind of jacked up and would be nice if they had all 4 Mortal Kombat cabinets and other games. All in all it was a fun experience and best of all you pay in and its unlimited fun. I highly recommend it.

The staff was really nice and the machines are pretty well cared for. A good mix of moderm Stern/Williams and 70s - 80s em pinball machines. Even some arcade cabinets are available. Looks like they swap out pinball machines pretty regularly. Plus they have an Atari Hercules.

This is a great activity for a bad weather day when you want to do something fun indoors. My favorites were the Guardians of the Galaxy, Lost in Space, and Baywatch pinball machines.Staff was friendly and helpful when we asked questions about the quests within the games. I want to come back on a Friday or Saturday for the late-night hours. Im glad this place exists in Frederick!

Tons of retro games, pinball, air hockey, etc. They sell drinks but no snacks that i saw, although, there is a papa johns practically next door. Reasonably priced and my kids have a great time there. We will definitely go back.-- to answer your question, definitely soft pretzels, maybe trail mixes, hot dogs, m&ms ?

Took the family to Spinners recently and was presently surprised. Nice facility with bunches of different pinball tables and an assortment of other classic arcade games. There was also a Foosball table and a couple Air Hockey tables in the back (dont miss them!). The pricing was very reasonable at $10/person for unlimited play (or $30/family of 4). Snacks and drinks (inc. beer/wine for the adults). Great place for hours of inexpensive family fun. Well be going back!

Really cool and laid back atmosphere and 10 Dollars to play unlimited pinball and arcade cabinet games and also air hockey. You can spend a good amount of fun time there while playing pinball machines, djing on Saturdays which I personally have djed there and it was such a fantastic atmosphere and the owner is highly intellectual and very passionate of pinball so you can learn a lot from him and the other employees. I will be coming back here.

Fun all you can play arcade for $10. My kids loved racing around trying new games. Old school video games also. Come and go all day.

Spinners arcade is a great, fun, and exciting place to take the family for a day out, or hang out with friends. I would recommend going here to anybody who wants to watch a few hours disappear in a flash of fun.

Awesome place. Omg, the 3 generation family enjoyed air hockey so much. Great memories.Would give 4.5 stars because I really wanted to drive, but that game looked off.Amazing backlog of pinball machines in their storage room. What a cool time warp collection.

We had a lot of fun. Price is reasonable, especially since it is unlimited play. Lots of cool classicgames; Frogger, Pacman, Burger Time, Galaga, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Super Nintedo etc.... A very large selection of vintage pinball machines. Some so old that the score keeper spins (instead of being digital).They serve soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, but no snacks.There were several games on the playing floor that were not working or unplugged. I do love the Wreck it Ralph out of order signs though. Also the floors could use a good sweep and the bathrooms definitely needed a clean up. But I think it is run by volunteers so Im not surprised nobody is jumping at the cleaning jobs.Will return again.

I took my dad here, and he instantly turned into a 10 year old kid. It truly made his day. I got a really awesome daddy daughter day. I ended up gifting him another trip for fathers day! So excited to go back.

What a fun place for all ages, very fair entry fee and tons to do once inside. Highly recommended to any “big kids” or people who want to re live the glory days of classic arcades. Really liked the ability to pick up classic console games and play thru original Mario cartridges, or Street fighter, even Atari. So much fun. Even a classic baywatch pinball machine with “The Hoff” staring atYou longingly as you shred the flippers. Highly recommended place to stop in and lose yourself for a few hours.

This was the first time Ive been here. If. You like pinball and amazing art, definitely stop in. The people there were very friendly and informative. Its been many years since I have played pinball, but Ill definitely be back. They have the biggest pinball machine Ive ever seen in my life. Go check it out! Definitely browse the art!

Cheap! It was 30$ for me, my wife, and friend to enter. We got to play all of the arcade games for FREE all night until 12 am. The sodas are 2$ and waters are only 1$! Beer and wine is cheap and pretty good. Games from pinball machines, video arcades, and game systems. Raises money for charity and is a wonderful family friendly environment. Enclosed relaxed environment. Comfy seating. And clean bathrooms. Love this place!!

Visited Spinners for the first time and it will not be the last. What an amazing place for pinball and gaming enthusiasts. There are well over 25 tables with years ranging back to the 70s to recent tables. Magnificiantly maintained Gottleib tables pop and ping in a way their digital recreations cant capture. Cant wait to come back. Hope the business takes off and they can open a location closer to Westminster.

One of the only, and legit arcades in town. Theyre also a non-profit whose mission ia to serve special needs people in the community. You can also volunteer on Sundays to learn how to repair old pinball and arcade games.

This is an arcade for kids and adults as well as a 501c3 (non profit) that focuses on autism and other disabilities. I love that a place like this has come to Frederick and has also become a great asset for the local schools, scouts, and YMCA. Anyone who complains about kids being in an arcade in their review obviously belongs at a casino or an assisted living facility.

Review №31

Retro pinball as well as old school console games. They do serve sodas, water, beer and cider drinks. But, the best thing of all is the proceeds go to helping with Autism. This is an awesome place and I have not had fun like that in a while.

Review №32

Awesome place to play all kinds of arcade games, and your entry fee goes to support people with autism. I love coming here with my family, on a date night, or to hang with friends. They have a little place to buy TV beer, but it is also located in a stripmall right across from the localcraft brewery Midnight Run. One of my favorite spots indeed!

The concept is very cool. But there are not enough games inside. Also the games they do have several are not working. There were also 100 annoying children banging on every game. I wouldn’t return

This place is amazing. I take my daughters here regularly and have so much fun with them. We play pinball, air hockey, and all of the old-school arcades from my childhood. $10 all you can play ... SAY WHAT? Oh, and they sell beer and wine for the grown ups. Nothing beats kicking your kids butts in Rampage while drinking a cold one!

Review №36

Review №38

Bottom line: all their machines were very well maintained, the staff was exceedingly friendly, and for $10 for all day, all you can play pinball, this location offers an exceptional value. If you’re not so into Pinball, they also offer video games and console video games.What really makes this location special though is how they’re using Pinball as an educational and therapeutic tool for people with autism.If I could give it 6 stars, I would.

This was a super fun place to visit. Not expensive and my kids had a blast. They have stepstools forbthe little ones. Wasnt sure about bringing my 5 year old bit he had a great time. Air hockey was fun too and everyone is super friendly.

Great place for kids and those nostalgic adults. $10 lets you play all day. They let you leave and bring back food from nearby restaurants (Oscars, or Bellisarios are my recommendations). Plenty of fun for the entire family as they have air hockey, ps4 to Atari games. They also have several classic arcade games but there bread and butter is pinball. About 20+ pinball machines in all. Avoid going in the early afternoon in the summer as the summer camps are there and it full of unsupervised 6-10 year olds.

Review №41

Great place. Reasonably priced, great selection. Could use more arcade games.. the ones they have are either bar tops, or very short. Not great for a tall guy. A couple of the older machines dont work well, but most are in perfect shape. Great family outing place.

This place is great, family friendly. Many machines to occupy a few hours time. My 9 year loves it almost as much as I do. The area is setup so that even if its busy I can see him and he feels a bit more independent because we can both play individually if we want. The owner/operators are kind and helpful. We really hope this place stays around for a long time.

Frederick was long overdue for a place like this and Im glad that its finally here!!! Plenty to do such as pinball ranging from the 1960s all the way up to now, home videogame consoles, and upright arcade games. Beer is available in the evenings and food is available from any of the great surrounding restaurants. Good times to be had foe the whole family.

I can not recommend this place enough. My child had a birthday party here with 25 kids and even the parents had a fantastic time. The owners hope to open a second area that will double the size of the museum. They also have wine and beer at night, so I hope to gather a group of friends for a night out soon!

More than just pinball and from what I hear they have new stuff pretty regularly. Good place to burn a couple hours. Chill, drink a beer, play arcades ... what more could you ask for?

It’s a work in progress, but I had a great time. They had a good variety of games and most were up and functioning. There was a good mix of newer and older tables, I can’t wait to see the finished store. I also like the premise, your donations goes toward helping children.

Review №69

Usually this place is the best way to kills some time when you and your friends are bored, However, During the Halloween night on the 27th half the machines were turned off or were not operating properly. Unfortunately it seemed the young employees running the front were more interested in going to smoking together in their car then the address any issues. Hopefully this isnt the new norm, otherwise this place is 5 star.

Spinners is super a fun place to have some old school fun! Better yet, the business is a values-based organization focused on doing good in the community.

Review №72

I thought I was seeing things... We were having dinner at Oscars across the street and I saw pinball... I jumped up and ran to the window to look harder- sure enough- Spinners Pinball. My heart is filled with joy. I have been dying to play real pinball for years and so much missed a good old school arcade experience. So many memories flooded back entering the doors and watching the lights and hearing all of the games. Id probably come here every day if I could find the time, but we will be back as often as we can. What a cool place!!

Wow. Stupendous. I was not overly excited about going to a pinball arcade but this place has far more than pinball. It has unique game experiences that you arent likely to get at home or most other arcades.There is a drop dead gorgeous Pinball FX2 Championship Edition cabinet there, which is nothing short of mind blowing. Also on offer is an N.E.S. with two N.E.S. controllers that are literally the size of tables because they are tables. There are some Japanese Bemani cabinets which can be found elsewhere but are also a welcome addition here. The $10 all-you-can-play entry fee is entirely reasonable. There are plans to make the arcade much bigger in the future. If they continue to do things right itll be the best arcade for miles and miles around. Frederick is lucky to have it.
