Asheville Pinball Museum

I mean, what's not to love! Free play after you pay a small admission fee. You can go check out other spots and come back too!It was a real treat and I recommend it if you're in the area!

This was a neat experience! I like how you can pay the daily rate and come and go as much as you would like throughout the day. Makes it easy when you want to take a lunch break, or go walking around for a bit. I would definitely go back.

Stepping into this pinball museum felt like stepping right into the 80s, reminiscent of the vibes from "Stranger Things." For just $15, you get unlimited play on a plethora of pinball games and arcade classics, making it a steal for a trip down memory lane.The retro atmosphere is spot-on, with an abundance of pinball machines and arcade paraphernalia that instantly transported me back to my childhood days. Whether you're reliving your own nostalgic memories or introducing a new generation to the joys of classic arcade gaming, this museum is a must-visit.

This is a killer business! What a great nostalgia trip with the 80's themed games, posters, and pop culture memorabilia. The staff was great. Beer is served. The location is prime time downtown. All the pinball machines are "free" to play after paying the cover charge to enter. We had a really great time hanging out here with family and I would certainly be interested in returning.

Ok, so I like pinball and museums so I thought I would really like it here. Sadly, it wasn't really for me. First, it is not really a museum so don't expect that. Second, the entry process sets a bad tone. There is someone at the very front that has a job that isn't clear to me. Then you have to wait in a giant, slow moving line to pay. They were doing both the payments to play as well as the drinks. It was too crowded and hard to play with that many people. There are cool old machines that you can't play randomly located throughout. Maybe that is the "museum" aspect? Overall, not bad but not as fun as I was hoping.

Best stop in Downtown Asheville. Be aware it's worth getting on the wait list and they'll call you. Very family friendly. There's bathrooms, snacks like chips for sale at the bar, and stools for the littles.

Really fun and great value for $! Friendly service, well run spot. I stopped by here on Sunday. They were in a 1 hour wait, so I explored Grove Arcade in the meantime. They texted once space had freed up. $15 for all you can play (Mandalorian and one or two other games were excluded but that didn't really bother me). I had a great time playing some classics, spent 20 solid minutes playing Pac-Man. I looked for Tetris but couldn't find it (not sure if I missed it), and had a blast playing the retro desktop space arcade game. They have some beer and chips, but no wine or seltzers unfortunately. Definitely worth checking out for some late doses of entertainment and nostalgia!

Omg what fun. Kids and I had a blast, all the pinball is great but those back rooms go HARD! I'm talking every dope game from your childhood is hidden back there. All day pass is worth every penny.

This place is so fun! You don't have to know anything about pinball or be a mega video game fan to enjoy it. There will definitely be a wait if you don't get there early before it opens, so be prepared for that. However, once you are in, you can come and go as you please (just be prepared to wait to re-enter). They monitor the number of people so that there will always be games available to play, which is very considerate. The pinball games were so fun, even as a person with no pinball skills or experience haha. It was fun trying old and new machines, and reading the little blurbs about the history of pinball and each individual game. There are also lots of old video games to play in back rooms as well. They offer snacks and drinks to keep you sustained if you are there for the long haul. It's certainly easy to spend a few hours here, and I highly recommend it if you are in the area!

This place is really cool! It's kinda expensive to get in (17 dollars) but it's all you can play old arcade games. If you are into stuff like that this place is perfect for you!
