Highest recommendation. Massive, clean, well maintained and staffed. Very family friendly. Honestly I don't know how they do it. I've been here tens of times. It's a true gift. Thank you Next Level! read more

Where do I even begin? If there was ever a heaven for game geeks, this is as close as you will ever come. For just $23/day with in-and-out privileges, you can play unlimited games to your heart's content. With over 690 games and growing, wall-to-wall memorabilia and signed photos, and everything from childhood classics to newer titles -- they've got it all. And if you're a pinball wizard, this is absolutely your place. Hours are 10am to 9pm with plenty of parking. Getting hungry mid-session? No problem. You can bring your own food or grab something from their outdoor food carts -- hot dogs, pizza, you name it. There are also restaurants nearby, and with in-and-out privileges, you'll definitely want to take a break and refuel before diving back in. They even have a party room available for birthday parties or corporate events. And don't overlook the bathrooms -- yes, the bathrooms -- because the memorabilia continues in there too! Fair warning: I was so obsessed that I played all day long... and woke up the next morning with seriously sore hands. Totally worth it. Pro tip -- bring a friend or partner, because the two-player games are even more fun, and some games like Mario Kart let you race four or more players at once. I still can't believe they had all my favorites from the 1980s: Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Joust, Star Wars, BurgerTime, Rampage, Moon Patrol -- and so much more. Also, make sure to sign up for their club -- members get in for $20 on Thursdays, and your 10th visit is completely free. I'd give this place 10 stars out of 5 if I could. It's one of the most amazing arcades I've ever been to, and you absolutely will not regret going. read more

I come here often and today was no different [outside of it being for my birthday]. Incredibly good selection of pinball and games and now they have one of my favorites, Ice Cold Beer [the game]. It was also cheaper today since they discount the fare for loyalty members on Thursdays. I like to play Super Mario World and leave it in the Star World on Tubular. Iykyk. read more

BETTER THAN THERAPY! They say you can't go back in time. This proves them wrong! This place was super fun, extremely nostalgic, and a definite sensory overload... In a good way. Once you step through these doors, forget about age. The only problem I had with my memory at my age, was this place was so big, that I couldn't remember where the next machine I wanted to play was at. More than just pinball, they have tons of video games, arcade games, and museum quality collectibles and memorabilia everywhere you look. Give yourself at least a couple hours to let loose, go play, and have yourself a great time. Definitely a must do for family and friends. My only advice, is don't come on a holiday because it will be super crowded. If you can figure out some time off during the week, that might be better. But the prices were reasonable, and the machines were awesome. Enjoy! read more

This place is amazing! Some of the best old school games with a mix of newer ones. Our family had a blast roaming around checking out all the posters and collectible items. Phenomenal pricing read more

Next Level Pinball Museum - Arcades Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Absolutely incredible! First time I've come here and was completely amazed at what was inside the doors. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I came with my family and we all had such a great time. So much to do. We got there at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and before we knew it it was dark outside. Ours had passed and we were all still full of energy to be there. The number of machines is astonishing. The decorations on the wall from action figures to lunchboxes just never ended. I will be taking friends here on a regular basis so I can see the looks on their faces when they come in. Great job to the people who put this together. You did an exceptional job. You should be proud! read more

This place is very impressive. We had a great time. There is so much to take in it's hard to truly experience it all. For the value and experience I can't say enough. The staff were cool and professional. The price is a screaming value and the gift shop is fair priced also. read more

Amazing place! More video games and pinball machines than I've ever seen in one location. And I've been to conventions for pinball games and arcade machines. All the machines I tried were in excellent conditions. You pay $23 per person in your party and get a bracelet that allows you to move in and out the building as needed. They also allow you to bring in food from other places and eat it at a few tables they've set up. This means your favorite food truck may have set up nearby. Smart lovely place. There are a few couched scattered around the place which makes it much easier for people (like me) who have invisible disabilities which means they need to sit every once in a while. read more

This place is freakin' tight, pretty wicked, totally outrageous, and so rad just to take you back to in time! And for being called a "museum" is a misnomer, because it's more like a collectible's heavenly dream! Forget the regular art and science museums of downtown Portland, and trek on over here to recapture that nostalgic feeling of playing pinball, video games, and seeing TOYS!!! Upon arrival at the entrance, you start by checking-in at the front desk. Pay your admission fee of $22, and they give you a wrist band; Good for 'all-day' unlimited game play! And with ins-n-outs. I've only been here twice, but both times I've had great interactions with the staff at the front desk. I didn't know what to expect, but think of a large warehouse with this: ~ Pinballs GALORE!!! You'll find probably ever classic pinball from The Six Million Dollar Man, to Star Trek, to Bobby Orr Power Play. To the more modern pinball titles like Deadpool, Tron Legacy, and The Mandalorian. ~ Aracdes GALORE!!! I got to relive playing BurgerTime, Commando, Moon Patrol, Q*Bert, R*Type, TRON, Off Road, and Robotron... I can go on and on on what I use to play. I'd say 90% of the stand-up video games that I had played back then, are here. ~ Collectibles GALORE!!! Maaaan, now this was the unexpected part of visiting this place. Yes, it's an archive for Transformers toys, Star Wars, LoTR, Harry Potter, Marvel. Plenty of old school lunch boxes (YES, real metal lunch boxes). Sports collectibles like Starting Lineup, those beanie babies things that I didn't care about, furbys, old record albums, comics, etc. It's just an immense collection of everything we loved playing with growing up. As far as food options, they usually have one or two lunch trucks outside. Or if you're planning to schedule a party, you can ask for a room and bring with you a stack of pizzas. But only eat at a table or room, as they basically permit outside food. If you're in need of something different, and are tire of green trees all around Portland, then I highly recommended Next Level. Be prepared to stimulate your brain from the 70s, 80s, and 90s! read more

This place really is NEXT LEVEL. The price of the wrist band seemed a bit steep, but we ended up spending hours here throughout the day. With in and out privileges it is so easy to get your money's worth. I was blown away by the size of the space, the amount of games (especially pinball), the numerous collections on display (action figures, lunch boxes, and other memorabilia) and the attentive team they have working on site. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the shrieking sounds of children. But obvs... unavoidable. I saw some folks wearing headphones, and honestly, that might be the way to go. I wish this place was closer, but what a treat to have it under an hour away. read more

We volunteer at our local pinball convention and heard about this place and it did not disappoint. We were super sad to only have half a day to play, this place is huge, from pinballs to arcades, they got it all. There were so many pinball games I've never seen and played before, it was quite the adult Disneyland. This is top of the list when we come back to Portland, it's a bit of a drive, but totally worth it. The daily price is also reasonable and you can come and go all day. Next time, we'll start at 11 and just go and grab dinner either outside with the food trucks or someby close and then come back for the rest of the afternoon/evening. We had a blast! read more

Best arcade ever and reasonably priced First time I went it was out of this world! Had everything racing games, pinball, and shooting games! Overall best arcade in the world read more

A staff member did not greet me. The service here is terrible. Other workers are kind and sweet. Definitely not this guy . read more

Next Level Pinball Museum - This guy did not greet me - Arcades Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

It is the Disneyland playground for those who love pinball. All day free play upon an entry price, able to come and go the same day for food at local establishments in the area. Hundreds of pinball and arcade games to choose to play. The museum, on every wall is something to look out. For some of us, it's like reliving our childhoods. 99.5% of the machines work every time we have visited. A credit to the repair technicians to keep the fun alive. This establishment is a must visit place if not one in your life time but for some of us, multiple time though out the year read more

Next Level was a huge amount of fun. Great for going as a small group, where people can wander off on their own or stay together to play against each other. The flat rate, play-all-you-want model is fantastic, with the number and variety of machines. In addition to pinball and other arcade games, the walls are lined with pop culture treasures - lunch boxes, comic books, GI Joes, vintage calendars, bobble heads, and I'm sure I've forgotten something. A highlight for me was finding Eight Ball Deluxe, a game from 1981 that I probably haven't played in 40 years. Like everything else here, the game was in impeccable shape. Employees, some armed with Windex, some with mobile tool chests, were omnipresent, making sure everything ran smoothly. This place is unassuming from the outside (with the exception of 8 bit artwork), but looks much bigger inside. Enjoy the sensory overload. read more

This place is amazing. I could spent days in here just being nostalgic over the various arcade games and pinball machines. Single rate entry is such a smart idea and makes going somewhere else for food before returning a great way to spend hours there. read more

What a great place to spend a day, for the admission cost you get to play an amazing number of pinball and video games. We spent over two hours playing games until our hands and arms were tired and sore. They have every type of video game imaginable, from classics like pac man and dig dug to new shooter and driving games. Every era of pinball from the 50's and 60's to modern themes are represented. Had our hands not given out we could have played for hours and still not played them all. Definitely a place to spend a day during spring break. Make sure to pay attention to the memorabilia on the walls as it is amazing. You can easily miss some cool stuff. The bathrooms are amazing clean and the staff do a great job of cleaning the games during the day. They have some nice food trucks outside as well. read more

Truly insane. It would be difficult to find a better arcade. This place is massive and has nearly every major arcade game and pinball machine ever made. It is loaded with amazing collectibles and blasts from the past. If you aren't into video games you could still spend hours looking at all the amazing stuff on the walls. It really is a museum! You could probably spend 24 hours here and not even experience it all. We are very lucky to have such an awesome thing in Oregon. read more

Great variety and amount of games, kept us entertained for hours, would absolutely come back

This place absolutely killed it! Never seen a better retro arcade in my life. On top of the countless games, pinball machines, skeeball etc they have an insane amount of amount of collectibles and everything retro- lunchboxes, action figures, Pokémon, it's absolutely crazy! I think we paid $22/person for an all day wristband. There were only a few games that were pay to play (claw games, big buck hunter) otherwise it was free play on all games. Any old school game you're looking for they probably have, even Super Nintendo console was set up to play! We left for awhile to hit top golf but spent the better part of the whole day from open to close here. The employees were helpful and friendly, able to point you in a direction of anything you were looking for. We conquered numerous games (all transformer games, time crisis, gauntlet). Even found some cool, newer pinball games like the hobbit, wizard of oz, pirates of the Caribbean all of which had super cool mini games you could unlock. We are from outta town but had no problem making the drive outta the way to find this place and are so glad we did... We will absolutely be back! read more

Next Level Pinball Museum - Sooo much cool stuff on top of all the arcades and pinball machines! - Arcades Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

major sensory overload ! i really wanted a ladder to climb up so i could look at all the stuff everywhere ! the games ranged from old classics i remembered , to new fangled 4 player units that had stuff like ninja turtles or motorcycle racing ! i felt like an old kid in a candy store ! the parking lot was PACKED , but inside didnt feel overly crowded .. there were always plenty of games empty . we didnt try any of the food truck options , but it smelled amazing when we pulled into the parking lot ! 2$ drinks inside seemed reasonable to me .. the bathrooms were clean ! i also appreciated all the ppl working on the floor cleaning the machines ! as well as maintenance guys coming out to fix the games asap ! we had a great time ! cant wait to come back ! thank you next level read more

What a fun place for a date night, not only do they have so many games you couldn't play them all in 3 days according to their website. They are filled with nostalgic memorabilia. The 2 player games were a big hit with us. The fact that after you pay $22 for entrance you can come and go as you please(keep your wristband on), allowing us to step outside and check out the food carts get some air before we head back in. Lots of parking. Plenty of places to lounge inside and every type of game you can think of from arcades to skee ball! Will be back with the family next time. read more

We came back again as we were in the area and it was still as fun and joyful as the first visit in 2023. Friendly folks, good atmosphere, family friendly and just about every game imaginable. Spent three hours here and would have stayed longer but we had another commitment. Also, AC works great, so it's a nice escape on a hot summer day. read more

Local gem | family friendly | amazing games We've been here a few times and have taken friends and family here. It always blows our minds to see how much is packed into this space. It's truly a local gem, unique, and a must for any gamer or person who wants to have some good fun. $20 entrance fee for an all day experience. Super reasonable. Fun gift shop in the front with lots of collectibles. As you enter the arcade, there are tons of games and pop culture items to view. It's literally wall to ceiling, including the bathrooms with photos of celebrities. It's all quite overwhelming. So much to look at. It's the perfect place to spend a day here if it's stormy outside. You'll find a lot of nostalgic arcade games from the 80's and 90's. You'll find rooms of pinball machines lined up too. They change up the space a little from time to time. We noticed a new game, Luigi's Mansion, installed next to the Halo game. They also have some claw machine games for $1. Some are pretty tough, but there are a couple where you're guaranteed to win something like a little ball or small kids plushie. I really appreciate the many stations of hand sanitizer left out. I also liked that they provide stepping stools for little gamers. My 6 yr old needed those. They have a couple of machines you can exchange $1, $5, $10, $20 for coins. Coming in the mornings is advised if you wanna avoid crowds. Food is available outside. read more

This place is great. Came here for my son's birthday party with a handful of his friends. Paid roughly $20 per entry and they got free reign to play as many games as they wanted for as long as they wanted. The museum, which I think needs a name change because it's really more of a gigantic arcade, has everything arcade game I can possibly think of - it's truly massive. They have a seating area where you can bring in your own food, as they also have outdoor seating for food as well. We'll definitely be back. read more

Went here with my husband, brother & 2 nieces, on a rainy night over Thanksgiving week. The hours were extended that week, which was helpful for visitors from out of town. For ~$100, we got to play so many arcade & pinball games. It was really fun! We left to go eat dinner, but they did allow you to bring food in and eat at their designated tables. It wasn't too crowded, it was clean, and the staff were friendly and out on the floor cleaning & repairing games the whole time we were there. No alcohol, but I think that makes it more family friendly and less rowdy & problematic. read more

such a fun place to hang out! they are not open all week so make sure to check hours before heading over. That being said for the days they are open, one ticket gets you unlimited access for the day and you can leave and come back as many times as you want. Firstly it is SUPER nostalgic. Especially the decor which is floor to ceiling of everything from old school lunch boxes to trading cards. They have something for everyone, whether its pinball machines, fair games old school arcade games, or newer arcade games. They do have 1 room that is pay-to-play; however they are mainly claw machines, so you're really not missing out all that much. read more

I truly never write reviews but this place merits it. Simply no better place for pinball or arcade games in the Western half of the United States. I can't speak for the rest of the country because I've only played on this half, but they've won Best Place for Pinball several years and they deserve it. Better than Vegas, better than Los Angeles. $25 to enter is not a lot when you realize you have access to over 600 games now (and over 100 more coming soon, they've expanded several times and they will continue to). They're all on free play (except for prize games). And you are allowed reentry as much as you want. As a pop culture museum, it's unbelievable the amount of stuff they've packed onto the walls. They have something for everyone, whether you're into sports, film, television, toys, or any other niche. As an arcade, for enthusiasts of classic arcade and pinball games, it's unbeatable. As someone else said, "this is our mecca." We flew to be here and have zero regrets. Special honors go to the repair techs that are walking around the floor all day, putting out fires as they come up. A rubber band broke on a game I was playing, I told somebody who had a "staff" shirt on, and within 5 minutes it was repaired. Never seen that level of attention and care for the games anywhere, especially not Vegas or SoCal. Good food outside, tasty pasta place and the best hot dogs we've ever had, shout out to Juan at Dogos el Yaqui. Just do it, wherever you are. You won't be disappointed. read more

It was my first visit and I couldn't believe the vast pop culture items and endless pinball & arcade games! I went for an adult birthday party and we all had a fun, memorable time. Super friendly service too. Will definitely be back regularly! read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!! Very reasonably priced. There were staff everywhere keeping everything sparkling clean. The staff was also incredibly nice and told us a bit about the owner and start up of this GEM. I will forever recommend this as the #1 arcade I've ever been to. read more

Anytime you can go here. Trust me I'm an oh. I've been coming since the year it opened. You pay 22 dollars to come in and play any game you want forever long you want. You can even leave and come back. They have multiple themed rooms. Anytime your in the area visit next level. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! So much fun. You pay a flat rate fee and then can stay all day if you want, you can even come and go if you live nearby. This place has SO many pinball machines, it's almost overwhelming but mostly just amazing. They also have a ton of regular arcade machines of all types as well. So this place is amazing for grown ups, for kids, everyone. They have stools all around the place for younger kids to grab and use to reach the machines which is a really great idea. The only complaint I really had is that I wish that they would put most of the kids games in one section, because they had parts where they had a really cute toddler game, RIGHT next to a house of the dead, or walking dead type of game. So my daughter was very scared because when you stand at the toddler game you can see right into the zombie game next to it. It just felt like a slightly weird choice on their part haha. But this place is amazing. We don't live in state and only come a few times a year, but if I lived here I would be here all the time. This place is so fun, so worth the money, and just amazing. Not to mention that there is SO much pop culture stuff literally up to the ceiling in this place, in the bathrooms, it is truly the coolest place around. read more

Love this place for too many different reasons!! My son and i went here on Sunday around 12:15PM Great location with lots of parking in a pixel art character decorated parking lot goes back deep around the corner! As you walk up to the front you will pass the food trucks in the parking lot area pizza and pasta they have cold brew at the pizza place! As we walked in we were greeted with smiles and asked if it was our first time! We were given the run down paid and off we went inside! Decorations wall to wall of 80's memorabilia etc. probably not an inch of blank wall it's amazing!! We played games from new games to games you would find at Dave & Busters to pin ball and classic cabinets all the games worked great and we had no issues with any games not working including some rare classics like Q-Bert, Gun Smoke, and many great fighting games! We stayed till around 5:30PM basically until we felt like our hands were going to spaz into a knot from playing too many games! Staff were actively walking around cleaning the place every minute and super friendly! That said, it would be nice if Next Level offered a membership maybe in the future.. Few things would be nice to haves. 1. Japanese imported new video cabinet games like a room full of Ultra man and other hero games would be cool like the ones you find at Sega and other arcades in Japan. I did see one cool japanese horror 3D game.. 2. Pokemon imported cabinet new video games where you can win cards and use them in PVP battles. 3. Real consoles Playstation, Nintendo, XBox Lounge area. This place was better than The National Video Game Museum in Texas and was better than both Cidercade spots i've been to in Texas! I will be back soon loved it!! read more

A unique nostalgic experience! At first I had some sticker shock at the admission price of $22 per person, even my 6 year old granddaughter. Once I saw the vastness of the place and the care taken with the machines I got over that. It's an arcade and a museum all in one. That admission gets you unlimited access to all but a few of the games and you can come and go as you please. We had a great afternoon at Next Level, very well done. read more

This is the ultimate arcade center. There are over 1500 pinball and arcade machines here! This place is more like a hands-on museum. They have machines from the 60's all the way to the most current. This place is filled with so many nostalgic items from lunch boxes, pop figures, comic books, dinner trays, and, of course, pinball and arcade machines. They also have hundreds of autographed photos from almost every movie made. If you want to get a blast from the past, hop on down to The Next Level. read more

Not sensory friendly at all!! We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our daughter is autistic and needed to see if the noise level would be too much. The man at the counter with long hair stopped her from peeking her head into the gaming area and said she must have a wrist band. My husband then explained that she just needs to see if it will be too loud before we purchase a wristband. He said, it is loud and she can't get in without one. First off we weren't trying to get in anywhere without paying. She literally just looked past the counter area. Second of all, some common courtesy of actually listening to what your customer is saying would be nice. My husband said we will just leave then and the man at the counter said nothing and moved on to the next guest. We will never be back! read more

Hands down one of the best arcades ever. There's like 650+ games here, and they all work. This place is always trying to expand more too. My wife and I love introducing our friends and family to it. You can't be disappointed here. They have the original Jurassic Park pinball machine here, enough said read more

This place is awesome! Found it when searching for claw machines in Portland. Worth the $22 admission in my opinion, considering you can play almost all of the games for free (for claw machine fanatics like me, these are a $1 a play) PLUS the amount of love and effort that has gone into this place...an incredible collection of toys, games, and memorabilia across the decades. We messed up and came 2 hours before close. Coulda used more time as our first time. This place made me feel like a kid again read more

The best arcade I would say in the world and it's in our backyard. They're constantly working on the machines and expanding. Freds love of pinball machines has turned into something so wonderful for everyone to enjoy! read more

Wowzer!!!! Super super sceptic going into first visit but sooo glad I have it a shot!!! Super nostalgic vibe and definitely a must try if you like video games and pinball!!

Food trucks outside otherwise only snacks and non alcoholic beverages inside ! Highly recommended read more
