Pinball Museum

Has anyone been or know anything about the Pinball Museum ?

My 15 year old son would enjoy this, (I think)....I am trying to find someplace to take him to spend a couple of hours while wife and daughter are at the spa.

I don%26#39;t want to waste his time if its not worth seeing. My other alternative is perhaps the indoor fast trak races.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Pinball Museum

you talking about vegas mate?

Pinball Museum

yes indeed.

i guess I need to google, and see what I find.

We are going to be in town for 5 days, and one day will be father/son day.......I am sure we are going to do the roller coasters, espn zone, etc. Thought the Pinball Museum would be a different activity.

I have never been there but people have said that had a great time when they went.

well if you find anything out about it can you post it on here as its the 1st iv heard of it

I went to the pinball museum last year. If you think your son might enjoy it then you%26#39;re probably correct. Chances are you%26#39;ll enjoy it even more! If you%26#39;ve got the slightest interest in pinball and arcade games it%26#39;s great.

They%26#39;ve got pinball from all eras as well as some classic video games from the 70s and 80s. I planned on staying for around an hour but ended up spending about three times that amount of time...... :-)

Hey thanks for the posts ! It definately sounds cool. Maybe I can show my son that we had some cool games in the 70%26#39;s!!

Thanks for the website, I am going there now.

Is it walkable from the strip, or do I need a taxi, or car rental?

3 days and counting!!!!!!

Definitely not walkable from the Strip. Rental car would be ideal but there are buses that head along Tropicana Ave which could work for you.

Check out the link that VP posted. It has all the important information about how to get there including bus routes taxi prices and a map/directions for drivers.

The place is a lot of fun for anyone that likes to play older machines. Some go back as far as the late 1940%26#39;s or early 1950%26#39;s (before there were flippers), but most are from the 1960%26#39;s (short flippers) through the 1990%26#39;s.

I first went there a couple of years ago, and now go every time I%26#39;m in Las Vegas. The machines are surprisingly well maintained, and the prices are low. The only negative is that it can get hot inside - either they lack air conditioning, or don%26#39;t turn it on until it gets really toasty.

Just to be clear... they call it a ';museum';, but I don%26#39;t think of it as one, because every machine is playable... and most still cost a quarter. (Some of the newer ones are 50 cents.)

I%26#39;d bet a 15 year old would love it.
