Seattle Pinball Museum

Walked in, paid for our Free Play bracelets and 2 tall boy cold beers. It was really, really fun and more laid back than I imagined. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. We were visiting from Portland and love pinball! This was a great spot. Have to come back with my kids next time! ♿️🚻 2 story building, clean restrooms, and there's a wheelchair accessible elevator platform in the back to get people upstairs easily. It's a smaller space upstairs it feels like. Way more open below.

Amazing small little pinball spot. We stayed all day! It’s fun that they reset the scores every day so new players can enter their name, adds a fun aspect to the day. Close to a TON of food, and just 2 blocks away from the link light rail station. Will definitely come back, great value for 6 hours of fun!

Great spot to check out when you’re in town! $23 bucks for 6 hours of free play on over 50 machines is a great deal! Excellent selection, especially a fully functioning Addams Family machine!! They also sell snacks, soda, beer and cider! All machines are very well maintained too! Will be back!

This the awesome place! I have found. As a tourist from Vancouver seeing the place and playing free pinball after I paid the price. It was amazing time see a place like this and read the history of the records of the decades that people in the past have played and broke. I thought I was in heaven. I would definitely come back here again to play. I liked the Bobo the clown up the way up to the old school ones in the 60s to the new advanced era. I have been training in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 since 2024 play the Batman pinball The Dark Knight for practice on my skills and break records to pass the time before I travel. Thanks to pinball map is helped me out alot to find places to play a few pinball game around the world 🌎.

Because this place is a museum, it has a range of tables from all time periods. Some tables have slant or calibration issues but they are all generally in good-enough repair. The new tables are especially well-maintained. They have the latest Stern X-men table designed by Jack Danger / Deadflip, but otherwise generally try to make room for variety rather than popularity. One whole wall is almost all taken up by electromechanical tables. The tables are also placed in order of the date of manufacture of the specific table. This results in the remakes of Medieval Madness and Mars Attacks being placed amidst the newer tables, rather than the older ones. This place is a bit small, so if you just play two games on every single table and machine, you will run out of things to do in a few hours. You should instead seek to get a feel for which tables are fun for you, and rotate between those. And, you may even learn to love the electromechanicals, as they feel especially crunchy and tactile. My one and only criticism is that there is no Theater of Magic or Arabian Nights, but maybe if the museum had those, nobody would ever play anything else. They have a large amount of historical representation from Williams as it is.
