💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Arrive early or during off-peak times to avoid wait lists. The venue has a 70-person capacity limit for 80 games, so arriving at opening is ideal, especially during Spring Break season (busy daily through end of April) and on rainy days.
💬The $17 flat-rate wristband provides unlimited play on 90% of pinball machines and arcade games—a significant savings compared to traditional quarter-fed machines. Plan to spend 2-3 hours to fully enjoy the collection.
💬First-timers should know you can walk around and explore the museum's nostalgic photos, detailed game histories, and preserved vintage machines for free without purchasing a wristband. This is perfect for deciding if you want to play or just browsing the collection.
💡Plan your visit with parking in mind—there's no dedicated parking lot. Use street metered parking, nearby parking decks, or park at the Visitor Center and walk to avoid hassle.
💡The bathrooms are uniquely decorated and worth checking out. Beer and snacks are available on-site, and the staff is known for being friendly and welcoming, even when managing wait lists during busy times.
