One of the most enjoyable places in Seattle and totally worth the entry fee. The constant sound of wall to wall pinball machines and all the flashing lights sends the reward receptions of your brain into overdrive. You can play as much as you like and they serve food and drinks but expect a wait for those. Just play the pinball machines until your break need fingers go numb and get food elsewhere.

Such a fun, tucked away place in the heart of the International District here in Seattle.$18 for all day play one entry. Or upgrade to multiple entries for the day. All but two games are currently on free play and honestly its a sweet deal.Many of the games have a small placard above them with the history of the machine. They have it laid out from earliest machines to newest machines in pretty much a circlen starting with the earliest on the right near the door continuing upstairs and around that room before circling back down and heading back to the door with the newest machines. A great range of different types of machines and friendly staff. They have a good selection of beverages and cup holders on each machine. A few small tables and stools upstairs if you want to take a quick break.It probably gets a bit busy on weekends but mid-week through the winter its dead in there and you can pretty much have your pick of the machines!Highly recommend if youre looking for an entertaining afternoon doing something a bit different! Plus... pinball is just awesome!

Super cool place! Will keep you occupied for a good 2-3 hours. Had a ton of fun every time. It’s a little pricey from what I remember, but it’s worth it. I definitely recommend!

If you only have a short amount of time in Seattle, this is one of the places you should visit! Located in the Chinatown-international district, this kitschy, little museum is one of the most unique things we saw on our trip! You pay a flat rate to play most of the machines for as long as you’d like. One of our favorites was the Revenge from Mars machine on the second floor!While the pinball was obviously ridiculously fun, the highlight of our visit had to be their adorable golden retriever mascot! This place far exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely be visiting again if we’re ever in the Seattle area!

Very fun experience at an excellent price. Theyve got dozens of games from new ones all the way back to the 60s. A little crowded, but thats as it should be, and come planning to wander outside until theres space to get in but its more than worth it. Lots of good stuff to do in the international district as you sit on the waiting list. Ill definitely be going back soon and often.

So, so, so fun!! One price get you unlimited play time on all the machines. And they have the best shop dog!!

Cool spot. Great ambiance and mostly all the machines work. I also loved that I could purchase some beer here. Made for a great time.

Wonderful experience. Came in as a tourist in Seattle for a couple days and this ended up being my favorite stop. Friendly, engaging staff, beer, a fluffy dog, and the owner Charlie stopped by and was easily persuaded to tell me more about pinball machines to the extent of opening one up and showing the inside. The most unexpectedly fantastic times Ive ever had.

Awesome place for old school pinball. They have machines from the 70s on up! Lots of fun! They have a selection of of local beers also.

Such a unique spot to check out. My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and this was on our list of places to checkout. We had a great time! $15 for unlimited pinball games! They also offer some pretty great beers. Great service, clean, and friendly staff! The games are well managed and we had a great experience. I highly recommended checking this place out.

Cool place! I surprised they have machines from even 30’S years. Is that even possible they still works? obviously interesting to visit while exploring Seattle!) for adults and kids as well)

If youre looking for vintage games, you wont find a better selection anywhere else. If youre a seasoned player looking for a good pinball arcade...I say keep looking. Unfortunately mechanical problems plague the machines here and $20 for unlimited plays sounds good initially, but youll quickly find that you can get more mileage out of the same cost at other arcades. Still, if youre a novice its not very intimidating when everything is free play instead of feeling like youre really fighting for that 50 cents back

My parents owned a ski lodge when I was growing up, and I developed an early love for pinball as a kid there during the 70s. The Seattle Pinball Museum brought back a lot of fond memories! You pay an admission fee, and then its open play for as long as you like. It can get crowded at times, which can make getting to the machines you want a bit challenging.

I have visited twice now and both times were great. The price for playing is reasonable and the staff are very helpful if you have an issue with machines. There were a couple of rules that they had and they made sure they laid them out completely so there wouldnt be any misunderstandings. I thought that was very nice. I will definitely visit every time I come back to Seattle.

Awesome pinball fun. Good games in great condition. Very friendly hosts. They love pinball games through and through.

Awesome selection of machines dating back to the 60s. Play your heart out for a flat fee, try everything and youll be hard-pressed to pick just one favorite. Very friendly and helpful owner/staff.

Pretty fun. I guess we thought it was more of a museum. It was nice to play the games.

This was a great place to spend an hour and a half before heading to the airport! It was easy to find parking near by. They serve drinks and have a free restroom that you can use with the purchase of a entry pass.The pin ball machines where in great shape and they were all free to play with the one time admission fee.

Very cool. The owners clearly love the machines—they aren’t just running a junky place with broken down games trying to get your money. It looked like there was a guy who just spent the day moving from machine to machine doing maintenance.

Great place to visit. Very fun machines and limitless play. I really enjoyed playing some of the machines from my past

The history aspect was fascinating, but not all machines detailed their history. Very few broken machines, which was great! Unlimited play and most guests respected the turn limits so you got to try everything. A bit crammed but still worth the trip!

One of the best places in the worldIf you like pinball

Tons of pinball machines that have signs explaining their history and fun level. The price increased in 2019 to 23 pp without reentry.

This is a really fun place. We had a short wait to get inside because they limit how many people are allowed in, but once we were in we played pinball to our hearts content. They have some cool machines to play, ranging from really old to very recent, as well as a few arcade style games. Definitely worth the visit!

Fantastic place to play some pinball! It has some of the most iconic pinball machines from every decade, even my favorite which is Medieval Madness! Dont you dare try to beat my high score. It was $15 for a single entry fee meaning you can play as long as you want but once you leave the store you cant come back in and play. Or you can pay $20 for an all day pass and play whenever until they close.

Super cute and fun place to go with a buddy for an hour or two! Staff is extremely nice, plus theres a super cute dog. About $15 per person for unlimited games, I think thats definitely a deal...

What an incredible amount of fun can be had here.Once you pay to enter, you can play to your hearts content. The machines all have little cards with history about them making than when more fun to play.Although mostly pinball machine there are other cabinet games.Upstairs is a two player baseball game that takes a bit to get the hang of but once you do I believe is the highlight of the museum.All ages enjoy can themselves.Getting there at opening will also give you a much roomier and quiet experience.

Went in thinking this would be a neat place to check out. Then something happened and two and a half hours went by.This place was amazing. With a one time entrance fee, you were able to play 95% of the pinball machines at no cost, and no time limit.Every machine on the two floors, had a history card with information on their history.While there are a number of new machines, the classic 80s and 90s machines were where it was at. More than a few rounds on Terminator and Tales From the Crypt.Only a short walk from the Chinatown Link station.This is a must stop next time I am back in Seattle.

Super fun place! Unlimited free play of two levels of pinball machines from old to new. Love the classics, enjoy all the way to newer machines.Good selection of can and classic bottle soda, along with beer, cider, and hard seltzer too!Swag from the museum, and dont forget to tip and donate!

Great trip back memory lane. Great assortment of pinball machines and they work well, some better calibrated than the ones I played in the 80s! Place is well kept, clean restroom, nice service. Not much you could be improved, a hit. Very recommended.

Great time, the owners are friendly, and know their pinball. I asked them about my fathers favorite pinball machine when he was younger and they told me the history of it and the maker. Also they have an adorable dog named Cash. Hes one of the calmest dogs Ive ever met even with the sounds of pinball going on.

Lovely place with tons of tables. They are well taken care of and clean. With only $15 dollars to play all day, its a steal. The owners were very nice too and love what they do.

My husband and I love pinball, so we had to visit this place during our short trip to Seattle. $18-$23 dollars for unlimited playtime? Cant beat that! Super fun way to spend our afternoon. :)

Fantastic stop! Tons of machines, old and new, all in fantastic condition. Staff is friendly and helpful, and have one of the best dogs Ive ever met. A reasonable one-time payment gets you a wristband and access to all the machines, which are free to play. Something here for everyone who enjoys pinball. Absolutely looking forward to coming back!

If you enjoy pinball games they have a little bit of everything from old games to new games. The pay one price and play all you want in a clean atmosphere is fun! If you haven’t visited it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommended.

Great mix of machines, a bit of a tight space though!

Took my dad here a year ago, we had a blast playing pinball and drinking beer. The location is great, we want to Dim Sum before going to the museum...a perfect day. Ive been telling my husband he needed to go and we finally went. He had a blast. Its great if you arent that great at pinball because all of the machines, except a couple are free play. Im already thinking about my next visit.

Stopped in before heading back to New York. Great place with a wide variety of both new and old games. All of the pinball machines are well maintained - they even have some of the newest titles like Dialed In which I put up the High Score of The Day on. Owner is very nice and really loves pinball. I highly recommend a visit.

Pure nostalgic fun. A must see if in Seattle

If you like pinball machines and are in Seattle try to make some time free to visit this museum. 2 floors of pinballmachines from the very old ones to the New ones.. All free for Play..

Fun to hang out and play pinball! Owner greeted us at the door, along with Cash, their awesome dog! Friendly and fun! Got hooked on the 75th Anniversary Wizard of Oz pinball machine! Had a blast! If you love to play endless pinball...youll want to go here!!

Pros: Well maintained games, proximity to light rail.Cons: The high cost, that they close 30 minutes before they say they do, and the really terrible attitude of the older female owner (with the adorable dog).We paid extra for the full day pass that allows you to return. We stepped outside an hour before close for 5 minutes and when we returned 55 minutes before close, it was locked. Their sign/website says they lock the doors 30 minutes before close and let you play until close, so they apparently decided to close early that night - a Saturday. We left our bicycle helmets inside, so tried calling/knocking for 15 minutes with no response. Turns out the aforementioned female owner told us she had heard the phone, but ignored it because she was busy doing some mundane register task. Then, as we were explaining that we left our helmets and went in to get them, she had the worst indignant attitude ever - like it was somehow our fault. She didnt even apologize.My husband and I are regulars in the Seattle pinball scene, but we will not be coming back and cant recommend others do as well. There are so many other options out there for good pinball arcades in Seattle (Jupiter, Add a Ball, Flip Flip Ding Ding, Icebox, Full Tilt, etc.).

Seattle pinball museum had some great games in there, and a friendly staff! The machines were in great condition and I enjoyed playing some of my favorites like Wonka, Wizard, and White Water! My only critique of this place would be allow Monster Bash to be included in unlimited play. This is a classic game just like many others in there, and should be included. I picked up a couple t-shirts to represent back in Orlando Florida!

I really enjoyed being able to see and play through the evolution of the classic pinball machine to what it is today, with machines from the 1960s to modern day. The staff is friendly, they serve bottled beer, and you can play all you want for about twenty dollars.

This place is super fun for us pinheads! Good staff who are responsive to trying to keep the machines in good order. I like the little bit of history on top of the machines and wish there was a little more to those blurbs. The 1960s machines are a rare treat and are way more enjoyable to me than even the 70s ones. This is well worth your money if you like pinball. Good date spot or family visit. Chinatown is a pleasant location as well. Easy parking and bike access.

Easy date and if you stay a while its well worth what you pay. They have a second floor with a few games that arent pinball, but the real bonus is the classic sodas you can buy and the dog that is the greeter.

Cool place. Good value for pinball

So many games, so little time, so much fun!

Amazing place if you have an appreciation for pinball you pay a flat fee and play all of these restored machines and read the history on each one of them. Unlimited Fun, Truly amazing

We had a great time. The staff was friendly and considering the games are free once you pay, The price isnt bad. There are sheets of paper in each machine explaining its history and time period which adds a little education to each machine. The baseball pinball machine upstairs is awesome. We spent about an hour there because we showed to at the end of the day, but could have spent much longer! Awesome place, great price, friendly staff, what kind could you want?

Neat to see how intricate the same game has become, but I wouldnt waste quarters. Good the machines are on free play.

This place is awesome! They have quite the selection ranging from vintage to modern.

Great place for fun and to learn recent history. 2 floors full of memories.

The games are fun, the door dog is supper friendly. I just wish they had more room.

Great place if youre a fan of pinball! They have pinball machines from every decade.

Nice folks who own this place. Most of the pins worked, with a couple of other video games fit in.

Awesome place to spend an afternoon with your friends. Lots of great Pinball machines! Definitely a must visit type of place for those Pinball lovers.

If you are into gaming history, or just mechanical devices in general, this place is an absolute must when youre in Seattle. The place feels a little crammed but only because they crammed so many different tables into a relatively small space. At $15 to play until you leave or $20 to play all day, it feels like a really good deal considering that upkeep on all of these pinball machines must cost a lot. Clearly a labor of love!

Great fun for a flat rate and you can buy a day pass that lets you leave and return. Dont forget to pick up a genuine pinball ball before you leave.

Great venue to take a small group. More pinball machines than you can shake a stick at. The cover charge covers all the pinball you can eat with the exception of two machines near the front that require a dollar or two to play. The machines are packed in just a few inches apart on each side over two floors. Candy and treats for sale. It would be greatly improved if there were some places to sit down and take a break and get something to eat and/or drink.

Great time, was able to play a ton of pinball with some friends. Most pinball machines have multi-player. They also sell beer and soda.

Excellent place to have fun. They serve beer and the place is clean and entertaining.

Loved the experience of playing with different pinball machines from different generations! A place to definitely go to if it is your first time in Seattle!

Unlimited pinball free play!

If you enjoy Pinball, theres no way to fail at having fun here.

Two floors of blips and beeps, cha-chings and KNOCKs of enjoyment. Drop your jaw at the worlds largest pinball machine (Hercules by Atari) where hand-sized paddles hit a base-I-mean-pin-ball at bumpers and alleyways. Time travel to the tables from the 60s, grin at the racy table art of the 70s, and let the T1000 boost you up to the 90s tables glitz and gadgetry. Youll feel like you experienced a nostalgic time warp by the time you get up to our decades games like Metallica, Tron, and the holographic Wizard of Oz. Respect to the curators, staff, and gamers who put up with the stench of beer and poorly ventilated air here, I constantly was stifled by the odor on both floors, but that aside I didnt care with all the sensory stimulation I could handle from the gun-triggers, bonus-ball mini-games, and a great evening of admiration for the artists, machinists, and physicists involved in the art of Pinball. #BALLIN

Fun place to go and play unlimited pinball machines and see how theyve changed from the 1950s through present day. Great place to take kids over 8 years old or teenagers.

If you find yourself in the area because you took a BoltBus from Vancouver to Seattle, this is totally worth a visit. The inner child in me was so thrilled to finally get to play all the pinball I wanted.

Fun place to play unlimited pinball games for a good price.Great price on snacks. The dog was a lot of fun too.

Lots of fun...many games I remember as a kid...friendly, helpful staff...and a cool dog that was hanging out...street parking is a little sparse...enjoyJ

Seattle Pinball museum is amazing! We took our sons there yesterday and had the best time. Not only did they have a huge selection of old and new pinball machines but all the staff and owners were so nice and welcoming. As soon as we walked in the door we felt like they were genuinely happy to see us and you could tell how much they love what they do. They also have the sweetest 4 legged employee named Cash. He is such a sweet dog and helped my son a lot. My youngest gets very nervous of loud noises and new places a lot of times so he did not want to stay but as soon as he saw cash and petted him he was so much more relaxed and started to enjoy himself. I’m so glad they have Cash there to help make it more a more relaxing environment for the ones who may have anxiety like my little one. By the time we got ready to leave he was a pro at all the machines that he was so nervous about when we first got there. I love that you can play all the games as many times as you want and even the oldest of them have been taken care of so well that they work amazingly. I hope we get the chance to go back before we move.

It seems pricey at first, but then you realize a couple hours of non stop games would have cost more than the fee.

Oh man. Check. This. Place. Out. Amazing history, good price for unlimited Pinball, huge number of machines to play! I recommend this location to every visitor to the Seattle area. You can spend hours here easily! And bonus: they sell beverages, (including beer). So worth a visit!

An absolute blast from the past. Arrived when they opened and was able to play every machine (at least one game) without a wait.

I could (and did) spend hours here. Admission gets you the opportunity to play just about every game in the place, and there are a lot. Some of the machines are not that fun, but they really give you a feel for the progression of pinball through time.Note that some of these games are products of their time: cowboys & Indians games, an Arabian nights game, and a lot of games with scantily clad women. The games themselves are really fun, but it could also be a teachable moment with kids about stereotypes and racism when you leave. Or you can just play a lot of pinball.

This place is awesome!! Not only is it a museum but you get to play with the exhibits, which is every kids dream isnt it? They have really cool pinball machines dating back to the 50s and 60s plus everything dating up to todays crazy pinball machines. Lots of old classics and the free play for $20 is all day long is such a great deal. They even serve beer here which made the experience all the more awesome. I will say it gets pretty crowded in there and sometimes people get bored and abandon the game halfway through so youre stuck finishing up their game before you can start yours. So even if it gets a little claustrophobic its still a really cool experience if you are into pinball even a little.

It was disappointingly small, over priced, and the heat in the place was insane. We got the feeling the owners keep the heat cranked to either drive people out of the store quicker or to encourage you to buy drinks. We bought a return pass (which comes with a 33% price hike yikes!) but could only stand to stay in the place an hour at a time.The photos online made it look like there were a lot more games. For $23 I would have liked more selection and better general accomodations. All the stools for pinball were upstairs for example...and heat rises so it was nearly unbearable up there.BTW it was 53 outside so not like the old building AC was having trouble keeping up. It was legit the heat cranked up.I did enjoy the historical cards and the staff was helpful and polite. The puppers was an enjoyable addition.

If you love to play pinball you will love this place. for a flat fee you can play all day!

Had a blast, kinda crowded but there was always a machine open. Wish they were all working but I understand that they need serviced sometimes. They serve beer and is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon. Get your nerd on, pinball wizards.

Easy to spend a whole day here. We had a great time at Seattle Pinball Museum.

Some really cool machines! A little cramped but fun to go to on a weekday when its not busy.

Brought my 4 nieces and nephews in from out of town. Got there when they opened, and happily played for 4 hours. They never let more people in than they have machines so we never had to wait to play a game. They filled to capacity in an hour, but that didn’t take away from our time. Fantastic!! Great beers too.

Pay 20 bucks get all night all you can play. Except 2 machines that you had to pay a buck to play.I used to work in an arcade, I love pinball. This place had excellent machines from the 50 to now. Very well maintained and working, too.My suggestions would be to try and improve their air conditioning. Its hard to cool a space with arcade machines, but you just have to get a bigger AC.A bigger space. I know space isnt cheap in Seattle, but trying to play pinball while people are trying to buy braclets to play and go upstairs (Addams Family machine) was really annoying. I kept having to move in front of the game next to me which crowded that person and distracted us both from our game. And Addams Family is a 90s era classic and one of my favorites.Would I go again? Heck yeah!

This place is super fun! They have pinball machines going back to 1960 up to the last few years, and its very interesting to see the progression of pinball! One flat fee and you can play as much as you want on the machines (not sure if theres a time limit, youll have to ask).Some older arcade games and additional pinball machines are upstairs, dont miss out on those!

The place is great. Plenty of 1960 pinball machines and newer 90s machines to play on. As you enter the place youll be greeted by a very cute golden retriever. pay for the ticket and you can play all the pinball game you want.

Ive known of this place for awhile now and have been looking forward to visiting. Loved it they have some amazing machines and the people were very friendly. They also have my favorite pinball machine :)

The games are awesome....a better beer setup would make this place perfect!

What a fun place! we stumbled across this place while walking around downtown Seattle. You can play pinball games from the 1950s all the way to current. Great place to bring family and burn a few hours and have a blast!

I would go back again i had a good time. Only thing is wife is not a huge fan but she still had fun. Reasonable priced if you can spend a couple hours there

This is a pretty dope place to visit, specially if youre into pinball machines growing up. They have amazing exhibits here and the staff are very insightful.

Fun but for the price there should be more machines. Also lame that despite $18 entry there are still games that require you to pay. Decide what your business model is! Are you a free play museum or a bar with payplay

Loads of pinball tables, friendly staff, great merch, and cold beer.

Tons of history along with being able to play all of the games for one low price.

Always lots of fun. The people are nice and the dog is a love.

Had a blast! Fun and worth it.

Great selection of tables, almost all working and in great shape. Great staff, fun place. Best pinball arcade Ive been to.

Pricey and Not kid friendly.+ 1 on the grumpy owner with friendly Golden Retriever.

Great selection of machines new and old. Well maintained and good energy. Unlimited play with an option to upgrade your visit for in and out privileges.

All you can play for a reasonable price! A good selection ranging from 1960’s to current day machines. My personal favorite is the Champion Pub machine right at the front entrance. Friendly staff, not too crowded, all in all, a great time!

Amazing and wonderful people, crazy cool pinball machines and all in very good condition, and amazing birthday party hosts.
