This place is so fun! They have sooooo many different great pinball machines and classic arcade games. My boyfriend and I are avid players and he has a collection of pinball machines. When we came here randomly after walking around some little towns and it was a blast! You can play all day at a reasonable price and even leave and come back to play! I HIGHLY recommend going here if you're a classic arcade fan! read more

Pinball PA is an absolute gem and a must-visit for any pinball fan. From the moment we walked in, the staff stood out for how genuinely knowledgeable and passionate they are and not just about pinball in general, but about the history and stories behind the machines themselves. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. The collection is unbelievable. There are hundreds of pinball machines spanning nearly every decade, from vintage classics to modern favorites, with an impressive number of rare and hard-to-find games you won't see anywhere else. Every corner feels like a mini time capsule of pinball history. Most importantly, this place did something special--it took my dad and me straight back to our childhoods. Sharing that nostalgia, flipping through the same sounds, lights, and games from decades ago, was genuinely meaningful and unforgettable. I couldn't recommend Pinball PA more highly. Whether you're a serious collector, a casual player, or someone looking to reconnect with great memories, this place delivers on every level. read more

First expressions are key to me. I went here on vacation with my family. It was like going back in the 1980s and 1990s. It was a nostalgia experience for me and gave me retro vibes. It reminded me of my father who passed away several years ago. It is like stepping into a museum; you can actually play these retro vintage arcade cabinets. Just think for a moment your favorite game that you once played in the 1980s and 1990s. Chances are Pinball PA has it; even more titles that you never heard of. This is great for all ages; even saw grandparents enjoying some pinball. The coolest thing is the price is reasonable. For $25/per person you can unlock nostalgia memory lane for 2 hours of unlimited retro vintage fun. No quarters nor tokens are required here. All the cabinets are on free play. The only problem is where do you start? PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Dig Dug, or Pole Position? The possibilities are endless here. My personal favorites at this location were: VS. Super Mario Bros., Pole Position, Ms. PAC-MAN, Paperboy, Dig Dug, Frogger, Gauntlet, Ghost n' Goblins, Pirate Ship: Higemaru, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I even enjoyed the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball. I didn't see Bionic Commando or Willow there though. In conclusion: From the 70s, 80s, and 90s vintage arcade and pinball cabinets. Pinball PA is a rare treasure that I have discovered. It's worth giving "all your quarters" to have a real nostalgia experience of a lifetime!! read more

We had a great time, but the price seems a little steep to me. There is no hourly rate, you have to buy 2 hours. There's a nice selection of games, but I like the games, in general, at Pinball Perfection in Westview. Pinball Perfection has an hourly rate. The room was pretty much empty, I think that shows that the admission rate is too high. read more

My family had a blast here! We came on Father's Day for about two hours. They closed at 6:00pm because it was a Sunday. I was not too sure what to expect, but there was an insane amount of pinball machines as well as other classic arcade games. My personal favorites are skee-ball, air hockey, and Hydro Thunder! The employee who greeted us at the front desk was super sweet and up-beat. We payed for our admission and he placed the wristbands on our wrists. He explained the rules in a very simple form and sent us on our way. He would also walk around just in case we needed any help with the games. I would say around two hours is the perfect amount of time to play any of the many games available. If it is busy, maybe a little longer! If you are looking for something to do with your family, friends or significant other, I definitely recommend going here! read more

Pinball PA - Zoo keeper video game - Arcades Near Me - Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

It's called "Pinball" PA for a good reason...there are hundreds of pinball machines in this place, and all are set on free play! Games from today, and, games from the past 6 decades can be found. But it's not just pinball, it's OG video games...hundreds of those too! Rigs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s (but especially the 80s) are in the house. Again, free play. But it's not just pinball and vids. Dozens of old skool electromechanical and hybrid arcade games from the 50s, 60s, and 70s are here. Yeah, free play. Free play? Well, they do charge a 30 buck cover, but then you play all day. 20 bucks for 2 hours. Family discounts and group discounts may apply, too. Thirty bucks may seem a bit steep, but when you consider that most new pinball machines cost a buck per play, you can EASILY get your money's worth. For as many games as there are in Pinball PA, the machines are in surprisingly good shape. The buttons, joysticks, flippers, and screens are, in general, in good working order...not perfect, but good/very good. Maybe 5 percent of the games are down for repair at any given time. As a bonus, there are a few display cases full of handheld and console games from the 70s and 80s. Nostalgia, baby. Also, check out the walls. Pinball PA is located 30 minutes NW of downtown Pittsburgh. You need to be here. 5 stars! read more

Friendly staff, equipment is well maintained. Cheaper than bowling, so it's a good spot for a night out.

This place was awesome! The staff was very friendly and the amount of games is just incredible. I really enjoyed my time here and definitely plan on coming back in the future! read more

Unbelievable collection, almost all in perfect working condition. A few small issues here and there but nothing of note. Only thing missing were beers and pizza in house. $38 entry fee and everything on free play. FYI: to the second, at closing time, the entire plays hits the master switch and shuts down. read more

Always a good time at Pinball PA Celebrated our boys 16th birthday there yesterday. Tons of fun games (400!!!) set to free play. Price went up a good bit since we visited last but still a good value for the full day package. As a mom, I think the floor could used mopped and the place could use some better ventilation but the kids (and Dad & Uncle) could not have cared less. read more

An Arcade with all your favorite 80's games and many pinball machines.. how fun!!! If you grew up playing these games... it's a blast from the past. I can play frogger all day long!! Pinball PA would be a fun date if you're looking for something different and good for birthday parties too. There is a snack machine3 and pop but no food served. For a small fee you can bring your own food in if you are having a party. There are tables in the back for gatherings. The rates aren't bad.. worth it. The décor on the walls is awesome.. really takes you back. There are restaurants located in the Plaza where Pinball stands.. so ideal for a date.. play some games and then grab a bite to eat nearby. What a fun time.. so glad we checked it out!! read more

This is a hidden gem for sure! My friend and I took a drive out here to see what all the five star reviews were about, and we found out super quickly. For twenty bucks each, we were able to play unlimited games for two hours! Two hours may not seem like a long amount of time, but it was more than enough. I felt like I was able to tap into my childhood but also childhoods before me. I didn't grow up in the 70s or 80s but there were lots of arcade games from those decades and even earlier! My treat of the night was being able to play the Hercules pinball game. I remember growing up seeing this monster of a machine but was never able to play it because it truly is a collector's piece. I finally got to play here and it didn't disappoint. It doesn't matter your age, you won't be disappoint by the offerings in this arcade. I miss good and simple fun like this! read more

This place was so much fun! I took my boys, 9 and 13, here today and they had a blast. We got the all day family pass and spend almost 4.5 hours here and definitely got our money's worth. There is a two hour pass as well but it's a better value to do the all day pass because two hours is not enough time to experience this place! They loved all of the old games especially the shooting and racing games. I'm 46 years old so I loved all of the old early 80s games. We could have spend all day here. So much fun! read more

I highly recommend visiting PA Pinball. My family went on New Years Eve. This was my first visit while my wife and youngest have visited two other times. The New Years Eve was a great deal for a family. All you can play from 4-2am for 55.00 (up to family of four). This included two pieces of pizza, chips, and pop/water. There were additional add-one if you wanted to do a BYOB, or reserve a table. We spent almost four hours that night. The staff was extremely friendly. So many options. Tons of pinball machines throughout, covering many different eras, and subjects. Many different video games, air hockey, skeeball, and even a bubble/paddle hockey. It is very easy to spend 3+ hours here. Many options, friendly staff, and family friendly price points. I would definitely come back. read more

I LOVE this place! It's great fun for the whole family without being very expensive. They have plans for families of 4 and have always been pretty good about expanding that when we needed 6 or more. I highly recommend checking this out if you have ever enjoyed pinball games OR video games. SO much fun! read more

I've lived in Hopewell for years and finally decided to give this place a shot. It was a good time! A ton of video games and pinball machines. Even an air hockey table which is my personal favorite. I was a little surprised by the price. Almost $15 for an hour and $19.99 for two hours. I get it though. Overhead is high and I'm sure the popularity of pinball games isn't what it used to be. I wish this place all the luck! My only real complaint was the cost of BYOB. $15 for one person is a little steep. I would think charging so much would discourage people from hanging out longer and having beverages. We opted to only play for an hour and take the drinks back to the car. read more

Wow...what more can I say than wow! Well I can say amazing, wonderful, fantastic and a load of fun. Not to mention how many childhood memoires this place held for me. From the get go the staff was great giving us an explanation of how the machines were all on free play and what kind of games they had. And from there we were sent on our way to go have two hours of fun that the ten years old me would have screamed to have that kind of free play in an arcade. On the way up my fiancé's plan was to start on one machine and work our way to each one, but honestly that would be impossible to do in an entire day, there are just so many great games to play. Seriously folks, you need to go here to have a fantastic time that will fill your inner child with joy. read more

This is a hidden gem! I had such a great time here on a Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend that you buy the all day pass. The time here seems to pass really quickly so you'll want to have the freedom to take your time and enjoy as many machines as possible. read more

Pinball PA - NBA Jam - Arcades Near Me - Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

I grew up playing pinball machines. A long time ago, back when the machines were simpler and straightforward. Some only took a nickel. A single nickel. Yeah, that long ago. I wasted many hours and most of my treasured coin collections as a kid standing over these addicting creations. So when I heard about this place being a hall of fame and a museum (as well as offering as much play as you can handle) I had to get here. And I'm so glad I did!! Sure enough they have some of the machines of my youth. The old electro-mechanical (non solid-state) ones. They had a huge wall FULL of those ancient beauties, all available to play. And play I did!! For $20 you get two full hours to satisfy that kid inside you and flip and twist and nudge till your hearts content! It was great. It's a little off the beaten path in an old strip mall shopping area, not in a warehouse type building like you might imagine. But it is filled with over 400 machines. If your taste runs to the newer glitzy pinball machines they have those. If you want to play target shooting or driving games they have those. If you're craving some vintage Pac Man or Sega or Atari classics? Yep, they're here. A museum and hall of fame indeed!!! No tokens, no hassle. Step right up and hit play and get your flipper fingers limbered up, you're in for the fastest 2 hours you've likely had in a long time. Or opt for the all day play ticket. Now THAT would be an indulgence. Not sure when you'd come up for air. They may not have everything you're looking for but its certain they have something from every era. I asked if they had the Guns N Roses pinball machine but was told they sold it because the owner hates Guns N Roses so he dumped the machine. But they have the AC/DC machine. Tons of fun. In fact, I probably haven't had that much fun for $20 since the days of 50 cent drafts and 25 cent wings. (Yes, there was such a time!) So come. Try it. Relive your youth. See how pinball has grown up over the last 50 years. You'll be amazed. read more

What if a place had every game? I mean every game? What if they all worked? What if they were all in great condition? What if they were all in a clean safe environment? ...and what if you could play all you wanted for a flat fee?

This is such a fun place to go all free play after admission fee! So much to do for (almost) all ages! There's more than just pinball haha.

This place is super fun. We've taken our out-of-town friends there twice, including their 10-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl. 2 hours goes fast. but is plenty for adults who want to avoid carpal tunnel! Great throwback fun, reasonable pricing, clean bathrooms, free parking. No frills. No snackbar, but they do have a vending machine or two. read more

Finally got to travel to the Pittsburgh area and made sure my friends and I stopped in. We do not regret it! The pinball and classic arcade variety was fantastic. We were all very impressed by the selection and it made our 2 hours fly by. It's a flat fee of $20 for 2 hours, the games are set to free play and it is worth it. By the end of our 2 hours I felt like a kid who wanted to cry because he had to leave Chuck E Cheese. The man running the door was very nice, laid back, and informative. They take care of their machines and keep them running as best as they can. Only a small number were out of order, but the machines we played all worked spectacularly. I was so happy to find this place and find pinball games I've played throughout my life in one spot. I wanted to drive back the next day and play more. My wife and I checked out the pinball museum in Vegas (unrelated to this place) and Pinball PA puts it to shame in machine selection and friendliness. I can't wait for my next trip to Pitt so I can go back. This place is a gem, I also heard they do pinball tournaments and global championships. They will also help you find a machine to buy if your looking. Absolutely joyful experience. read more

This is an absolute must-visit if you like pinball or arcade machines. $20 per person will get you 2 hours of gaming, and $40 will get you an all day pass. There are over 400 machines (over half are pinball), all set to free play. With older machines, it's not unusual to see a fair number out of order, but this place keeps almost all of them in perfect working order. The selection of pinball games in particular is fantastic, ranging from the 1940s to today (I think the newest one was from the Transformers movie). They have just about any old arcade game you can think of, even some obscure ones like Journey (a terrible game about the band Journey). Clean restrooms are an extra plus, since they're located in something of a small strip mall. I was there on a Saturday evening, and it wasn't crowded at all. I'd really like to see this place make enough money to succeed, but at the same time, it's nice not to have to fight a crowd or wait in line for machines. If you're looking for a good way to kill an afternoon, this is the spot. read more

This place is like a time machine back to my childhood. Over 400 pinball machines and classic video games. Almost like a nostalgic sensory overload with all of the lights and sounds, but it's pretty amazing. You pay at the door (rates vary depending on the number of people and the length of your stay) and they give you a wristband that indicates your end time. Then it's off to the races. The machines are all set to free play mode so all you need to do is hit the "start" button and begin playing. There are so many games that it's hard to decide on where to start. And it's not just video games and pinball machines...they also have dome hockey, air hockey, skee ball, and old penny arcade machines. My friend and I used to play a game called Cyberball at Century III Mall back in the 80s, and we never imagined that we would still be playing in 2022. But we found it at Pinball PA and it's still fun destroying him in head to head matches (just like I did in 1988). We usually buy the 2-hour package, and the time passes really quickly. The interior is decorated to evoke the 1980s, with classic album covers (Duran Duran, Wham!, Cyndi Lauper, etc.) adorning the walls. It never gets overly crowded so you can usually jump right onto any machine and begin playing. This is a great place to waste a few hours on a weekend. Highly recommend. read more

I am not a Pinball Wizard... This is a fantastic place if you want an opportunity to play "vintage" games. All my favorites (Space Invaders, Centipede, etc...) were there. I did enjoy their wide array of pinball machines. I played an old Chicago Cubs Pinball Machine. For a flat fee, you can play all the games as long as you want. We took advantage of a coupon ($10). My coworkers and I really enjoyed stepping back in time. I may have pulled a hammy playing air hockey (yes - I understand you are probably thinking how is it possible... I just proved it is :-) ). Check out this treasure. All Games. There are vending machines / no food that I saw. They do offer a plan to reserve space for food / parties. read more

I think it's safe to say when most of us hear/see the word "Museum" the phrase "look but don't touch" comes to mind. That is absolutely not the case at the Pennsylvania Coin Operated Gaming Hall of Fame Museum. The entire point of this museum is to relive your youth and play to your heart's desire. Your inner 13-year-old will be doing backflips upon entering a domain that houses over 400 vintage pinball and arcade games. Photos do not do this place justice. I spent the first 15 minutes walking around and attempting to take it in before wading into a gaming frenzy. Your ears will be humming with the clicks and chimes of the classic electro-magnetic pinball units. Your eyes will pop taking in all the classic arcade units. Everything is set to free play. If you played it in your youth, odds are high that they have it here. Not only vintage units but new high-end pinball machines like Iron Man, AC/DC and The Avengers; not roped off to admire but right along side all the other machines, beckoning you to play. My friend and I made a 3 hour drive to visit this place and I will most certainly return. The Coin-Op HOF & Museum exceeded all of my expectations. They have multiple admission packages to cover a couple hours to an all-day gaming bonanza. One word of warning, bring ibuprofen. Your previously mentioned inner 13-year-old will be jumping for joy but your 30/40 something year old wrists are going to feel the effects of 8+ hours of gaming! read more

This place was great! There were so many classic games that take you back to your childhood. We paid $40 for my hubby and I for 2 hours.

I have been here several times. I'm fifty and loved it. My young teens were bored after an hour. Don't stop that from trying it out though. I was there with the Girl Scouts and they had a blast.

This place truly feels like you traveled back in time to an arcade from the 70s/80s (no flux capacitor required). Aside from a wide variety of old arcade games and pinball machines as far as the eye could see, they truly nailed the aesthetic and vibe of arcades from decades past. My only complaint is that I wasn't able to play every game, but that only gives me another reason to come back. Will definitely be making more trips to this place. Truly one of the hidden gems in western PA. read more

I happened upon the Museum one afternoon after lunch and was amazed by the collection. It was like stepping back in time, to the days gone past. To the days of scrounging for change so you could head to the local arcade with a pocket full of quarters to waste the day away playing your favorite games. It made me feel young again, which was priceless and a needed break from the day to day. Quickly I realized I had to bring my son, so he could finally experience the true arcade experience, not a gaming system at home. My wife came along and for two hours we all got to get lost in the shear fun of the place. Arcade machines and pinball machines from the 50's to today, all for one price. No reaching for more quarters or running out while playing. Pay the entry fee and free play until your done. We have already been back since, and will be stopping again many times. Hope they continue to build their collection. Look forward to see what they bring in next. read more
