This place is 5 out of 5 stars! My husband and I had a BLAST at Classic Arcade Pinball Museum. You pay $20.00 to play as many games and as many times as you want all day! They give you a wristband if you want to leave and come back. This was one of the BEST parts of our trip to Chattanooga TN! read more

An extremely good return on investment. 4 of us played till we were sore for 2.5-3 hours for $80.00. (Can't come out better than that, even in Vegas) The working machines spanned from current time period all the way back into the 50's & 60's. I've seen a few reviews displeased with machines scheduled for repair, but I would estimate that 95%+ of the machines in there 6/14 were fully operational. These things have moving parts & moving parts break....... Staff was friendly & helpful. We live 6.5 hours away, or we'd be here weekly. read more

We had a blast! Classic games from arcades with history and info cards for each pinball machine. There is even one where kids can collect real baseball cards from the awards. To do it again, I'd go when we had more time because the only option was an all day pass and we only had an hour. It was kinda crowded which meant that some games were never available because the same people stayed at them the entire time. I don't think there's a great "solution" for it, but I'd expect a similar experience, especially when it's busy. read more

We saw the Pinball Museum on several list of things to do in Chattanooga. The day we went it was raining, so it seemed like a perfect day to check it out. Admission to the museum. Allows you to play all day and come back the same day. If you need to we stayed for two hours and got to play many games. It was fun teaching our son how to play pinball. They also have arcade and tabletop games. It was cool to play games and that were as old as I am. I would highly recommend checking this museum out. read more

This place is GREAT! A little expensive if you're not planning on spending a long time. But a fantastic way to spend a few hours. Arcade games from every decade very well maintained. They've got modern ones that are fun too. Some amazing classic arcade games, although more of those were pending repair. I will go back the next time I'm in Chattanooga. And maybe again this trip! read more

This place was so much fun!! Easily spent 3 to 4hrs playing all the different games. Family friendly as well! $20 for all day play and you can leave and come back with the wristband they give you. My boyfriend and I left to get dinner and came back for another hour or two with no issues. Definitely a must when in the area. Drinks and snacks are available and at a great price as well. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here! read more

Very fun activity for the whole family. Would be a great thing to do on a rainy day. You get a wristband that is good for the whole day, so you could come back later and play some more. They have dozens of pinball machines and vintage arcade games. We loved it. Staff was friendly! read more

I waited until my last day in Chattanooga to go to the Classic Arcade Pinball Museum and that is my biggest regret of the trip (although in my defense, it'd been closed that Tuesday when I was free from work duties.) For a flat $15 (or $12 if you're age 12 or under), you have unlimited play for the day. You can, of course, leave and come back! They give you a wristband. They have such a wide variety of pinball machines you can look at or play (some are under construction/being fixed.) I was impressed by the older ones, the wooden ones, the biggest pinball machine ever (that requires a coin to play, which they'll give to you), one that shakes like an earthquake, a baseball game one, a Domino's pizza one, ones with interesting like movement, and so many more. I could spend days there and was impressed with the knowledgeable and passionate staff. This is a must-visit if you're in Chattanooga. read more

Absolutely incredible place to spend an afternoon. Rare, classic, and modern pins - even featuring a SUPER rare "Hercules" pin!! The highlight of our time in Chattanooga. read more

It's not as big as the one in Las Vegas but it was definitely a few hours of fun! They have the world's largest commercially produced pinball machine and some of the most popular from different eras. It's free play so once you purchase your bracelet you can play as much as you want until 10p.m.. Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Spy Hunter, Donkey Kong and Street Fighter are all here. It's definitely something to do with little ones who've never seen real arcade games. They think everything started with GTA and V-bucks lol. Great stop for newbies and veteran gamers alike. read more

Tried to book a field trip but they had staffing problems and said they would need to have a month or more notice for 20 students.

Hey Sandy!.......How about some pinball? Went for a visit over a holiday weekend. For starters this place should be busier. Maybe it is and you just don't notice because it's so much fun or it could be that for a one price admission ($20 at this writing) you can play any game, all day. It's a come and go pass so you can stop in multiple times during the day, as we did. No quarters or tokens needed. That one price includes as many start buttons as your fingers can handle in one day. Inside, you will find over 25 pinball machines spanning from the 1930's through today. An awesome selection with quite a few familiar favorites mixed in with some "I've never seen that one before's." Almost any pinball savant will be satisfied. I was completely impressed with the condition of the machines. All that I played operated perfectly and looked like the day it was made. As well, there's a smaller selection of classic arcade games. While you will see the standard PAC-Man, Frogger and Donkey Kong machines, be sure to not miss the ones that have half-a-gagillion games on them. Whatever classic arcade game was your favorite in the day, it'll probably be on one of those machines. Also, on at least this day I noticed that everyone wanted to try 'em all. No matter which one I was interested in, if it wasn't free at the moment I'd simply find another and when I went back it was available. When you do decide to go, don't be discouraged if you can't purchase tickets online. While we had this problem, thankfully we were stubborn enough to go by anyway. At the door we were greeted by Walt. Friendly, enthusiastic and with a vast knowledge of the games available as well as a penchant for obscure, 90's indie-rock bands ;0), making the day just that much more enjoyable. read more

In my teenage years, some of my weekend fun was playing pinball machines and old skool arcade games with my friends. Well friends, we can relive our youth together in downtown Chattanooga now at the Classic Arcade Pinball Museum. In the front of the museum, some of the oldest pinball machines ever made are on display while undergoing refurbishment. Some of the other pinball machines are on free play. You can play all of the pinball machines and the arcade games which are in the back for $15 a day. I enjoyed playing a few of the pinball machines such as Star Trek, Terminator, and KISS. Monthly memberships start at $35 which doesn't seem high since they're open almost every day until 9 pm. There's snacks, soda, and beer in the back to keep you and your childhood bestie fueled to compete on the two player games too. read more

I infinitely recommend going here. They have a large selection of pinball machines and arcade machines to play, and its not excessively loud inside. You can come and go all day as long as you have either a wristband or an annual pass. read more

We were in town and were looking for places that were open during corona and was happy to find this spot. I brought my brothers for some summer fun. They really enjoyed the variety of games here. They had a blast trying to get the high scores on these. I would say the price is decent since it's all day unlimited. I liked that they don't charge if you don't play. I was just watching and didn't have to pay and that was helpful as I was mainly babysitting. They were also enforcing the masks and sanitizing the machines which was great. read more

Such a fun outing! My husband could have stayed all day. I enjoyed playing pinball for a couple hours and enjoying a cold beer!

Very cool experience!! Prices are great too, $15 and you can stay as long as you want. This is perfect not only for kids but for date nights with your loved ones. Pretty much all machines function, I really appreciate the little storyline that each machine has, it's also a timeline machine because they have all the pinball stations since they were invented until the latest ones created. So its very cool to be able to compare, point out what was improved through the years. There is plenty of parking outside on the street, plenty of restaurants, bars, museums, breweries, excellent location. This is not a place to eat or drink but they do carry basic snacks, soft drinks amd some local beers. Its pretty cozy inside so try to dress comfortably, there are no places to put your bags, coats, umbrellas. Enjoy! read more

Cool AF place. A centered in downtown Chattanooga, hopefully it draws a lot of attention to where he is. It's got games as oldest from 1934 that you can check out, really neat and unique place. Make sure you eat before you come here though, they do have some snacks. Average cost is about 20 bucks per person, but that's for unlimited use of all the pinball machine except for the Hercules, which is about quadruple the size of a normal pinball table. But for that price you can play as much as you want.. They even have a few old 80s our games and Street Fighter 2! read more

It was a rainy day in Chattanooga, so this was the perfect place to spend several hours. I think we played pretty much every machine in this joint. The staff is knowledgeable, and it was great to grab a beverage and keep playing with cupholders on the sides of the machines. There are also a few classic games like Miss Pac-Man, Galaga, and Donkey Kong. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I'm so glad we found this place. read more

What a fun place! My teen boys enjoyed the games and the little history they learned. They were fascinated when one machine was opened for a quick repair and they could see the inner-workings of the machine. It was the perfect place for a rainy Saturday in Chattanooga. And the staff, I believe his name was Walt, was super kind. I had the pleasure of observing him talking to adults and kids of all ages. He was respectful and enthusiastic . read more

WHAT A SUPER COOL PLACE!! Fun for kids of all ages Hahahaha! The history and date of each machine is written up, and posted right there, so Mom can reminisce about 1979 and the kids can have a ball playing til their heart is content! Go and have a ball... play all the games... grab lunch and go back for more. There's a little snack bar and sitting area for the non-players to wait... if you don't want to watch others having a blast! Check it out.... we all loved it. Manager Walt is great, knowledgeable and very personable too. read more

Had a blast there! The kids loved it, and they had beer, which is a plus. Why does this app make me keep typing?! Lol

We took my 13yr son and a friend here for his birthday they LOVED the place and so did my husband and I I thought after a couple hours the boys would be ready to go but.

To say this place is amazing is an understatement. It is like we time warped back into all the decades of the 20th century. They even have one of only 10 Hercules pinball machines in the world. You can only play it once per visit but you have to have a coin to do so. We easily spent over three hours here. They only had one IPA but it was excellent and you can play almost everything on the floor. It is $20 per person but you get to play unlimited games for the whole day. We are even considering an Annual membership. My wife is not a huge game person but she loved this place I think she would take home the Pac-Man arcade in a heartbeat if she could. read more

This pinball museum and arcade is well laid out, clean, and organized. They offer many 1970's pinball machines along with some from 2016 and some from long ago. The staff are friendly and informative. My eyes were all over the place and I will mention it's loud and things are flashing everywhere. They have many stand alone arcade games along with an oversized rare Hercules pinball machine. $15 is a very fair price as you can come and go all day and you can get a membership at $35 for a month of unlimited entry. They do accept digital payment like Apple Pay. read more

Some beer in the back if you want it. Bathroom was immaculate which might not seem like a big deal but for a mom with two girls it really was! Staff was very friendly! AND The price is all day. You can leave and come back. read more

It was a rainy day on our trip and we were looking for something to do that was inside. My husband absolutely loves pinball machines, so this was an obvious choice for us. The experience was really amazing and nostalgic, but there were a couple of downsides that kept me from giving it a 5. Probably the biggest negative for me was the admission price/setup. There's a flat fee for adults and children, and it was a bit steep for us. I think it would be really cool if they had a different fee structure where people could come in for a certain amount of time for a cheaper rate, though I can see how that might be tedious to keep up with based on the amount of staff that they had that day. There's no way that a family like us (we have a six year old) can really take advantage of the value in an all day pass for almost $20 per person. Aside from price, it was a bit disappointing that they didn't have any merchandise/gift shop options, and they also didn't have any concessions except candy bars and chips. A great deal of the games were out of order because they were scheduled for maintenance, but there's nothing that can be done to avoid that. All-in-all, my husband loved being able to play games, and it was fun to walk around and look at all of the different games and art styles, but it hit the wallet hard for a very short-lived experience. read more

We had such a great afternoon here! Your admission covers all the pinball games you could imagine! From the 70s to 2020. The man at the front desk, Walt, was so friendly and a big pinball enthusiast. We also loved the little placards with the history and fun facts about all the machines. read more

REALLY AWESOME PLACE - we were traveling up from Orlando and made a reservation here before even showing up. And it was anything but a disappointment. The staff were knowledgeable and kind, the machines were in wonderful shape (most of them were playable!), and it was just a really neat space. If you go when Walt is there, he knows so much history and fun facts that will make every game that much better!! read more

Spent 1.5 hours here with hubby and 13yo son, and we all had a blast. That was barely enough time to try all the machines, and definitely not enough time to really master any of them. Quite a few were broken at the time we went (week before New Years), but that's to be expected given the age of the machines. read more

This was the highlight of our trip to downtown Chatanooga! They had a great special discount for the first half hour after opening, and it's unlimited play. My boyfriend had a blast checking out all the old machines, and I loved playing Pac-Man! Walt was the manager there today and was Amazing!! He's so friendly and knowledgeable, and we will definitely be back because of his amazing hospitality! Seriously a must-see spot, worth the trip! read more
