Wizard's World is PHENOMENAL! After a week already hitting arcade after arcade on a pinball road trip, this was one of the few that really wowed me. There is a great selection of old and new pinball machines and its very cool that on the Stern games, they tend to have Pro, Premium AND LEs! If you are an Insider Connected fan for Stern machines, you may attempt to play every machine, WW made that easy to get in games I needed! The owner is awesome. We chatted with him for some time and he showed off his location. It's really great if you are a pinball fan. MUST visit if in northern Indiana!!! DO IT. read more

It's so much fun! 137 pinball machines?!?! Are you kidding? I was worried it would be all new stuff, nope! Most of my favorite classic Williams tables were there. Half there tables are .50¢ the other half are $1. Either way, a couple rolls of quarters and you are set. I only interacted with the one guy that was working the counter. He was both helpful and polite! Can't wait to go back! read more

We visited Wizard's World of Pinball while in town for the holiday, taking a break from family activities to check out this space. My partner loves pinball and we've previously visited the huge Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. Wizard's World is not as large as the Vegas location and somehow ended up in a small Huntertown strip mall, but still has a very impressive amount of pinball machines from different eras. I especially liked seeing the colorful artwork/design from the classic 60s and 70s machines. The amount per play differed per machine, typically $0.50 for older machines and up to a dollar ($1) for more modern versions. It's humorous to see the different tv/music/etc. that inspired pinball machine designs back in the day (i.e. a Ted Nugent machine? Okay). Wizard's World looks to host local and national pinball tourneys, and is welcoming to lady pinballers. There are clean restrooms and a few packaged drinks/snacks available if you need a refreshment break. We were able to bring in our outside drinks without issue, and most machines are outfitted with drink holders. Even if someone was not a pinball fanatic, I think they'd enjoy visiting Wizard's World and taking in the sights and sounds; it's a unique experience that it isn't easy to find locally, especially when considering that Wizard's World has one of the largest number of machines in the US. My only recommendation would be to implement a flat entry fee option that allows unlimited play for a set amount of time, an option we've enjoyed at other pinball halls/museums. I'm not the best pinball player and my quarters quickly disappeared. read more

Wizard's World Pinball Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

This place is pinball AWESOME! They have ALOT of LE edition Stern pinball, which I didn't even realize was "limited edition" til I went. And I got another top 10% score this time on Batman 66 pinball. It's really chill, doesn't get crowded, and has tons of gems from the pinball world like 1 of 300 Heavy Metal pinballs ever made, tons of Stern LE editions, and just alot of rare pins in general. Cool workers also. read more

When I was a young boy I used to spend my summers at Seaside Heights in New Jersey and that was an amazing time as I was there at the dawn of the arcades. There were new videogames every year that we went but the one thing that there wasn't a shortage of was pinball. Every arcade had a variety of tables and some were the latest and greatest and some were older machines that people still played. When I moved to Fort Wayne I had heard about this place and I have to say while they do not have every table (I would love to play Hercules again but that is not even really a pinball as it is 1.5x the size and uses a cue ball instead of a pinball) they do have quite an amazing selection. From older selections such as Big Game and Space Invaders to the latest tables such as Dungeons and Dragons and Elvira House of Horrors (both are my favorites). You can get quarters here easily and there is also a selection of merchandise to buy as well so if you are a long term fan of pinball or want to get started playing this is definitely a place to go. read more

What a cool place!!!!! A complete dream come true for anyone that wants to play a pin ball game. There are about 75 different machines to choose from that range from older to newer. It costs 25 cents up to a dollar (from what I saw) to play a machine. I was lucky, as most of the machines I played were only 25 cents. Those were the older ones which were the ones I played back in the early 80's. And back in the 80's they were 25 cents. I follow them on Facebook and thought it might be pretty cool from their posts I've seen. So I came all the way from Louisville, Ky. (4 hr drive) to check this place out and I'm glad I did. They offer 3 different t shirts and I bought all 3 plus an extra. Also i was able to talk to the owner and this is his passion!!! Which explains why this place is so cool. They offer several tournaments that you can participate in. And best of all, if there is a customer on a machine the tournament players are going to play, they are sent to a different machine so the customer can continie to play. Check this place out.......It's great!!!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!! read more

This is my 500th review!!! Didn't realize it was that high. I will review this joint on my 500th review. All kinds of business up in there after this review. Oh boy! Pineball machines out the butt Man. Great place and they got booze! yes beer and shots. It's in a wimpy neighborhood way up north in the privilege area, but this place can get rough! with all the boozing and vaping can get a little rough at times. Kind of like the old west in here, booze though I tell you! gets People fired up for the big pineball showdown. read more

I just completed a 2 wk road trip into the NE and Midwestern sections of our great country,and let me tell you how AWESOME Wizard's World really is--If I could give them a 10 star Yelp review I would!!! After finding this place online last year after seeing their website mention 144 pinballs,that was it! This place I have rated as my fav in my 2 wk pinball trek around the country!! Quite possibly this place is in the top 25 pinball establishments in the USA! Let's play pinball! read more

Good old fashion affordable family fun! With a great competitive lane too! I competed in the first ladies tournament with 6 of my 50 something friends. We had a ball. The machines worked great and the music took me back to my teenage rock and roll years! Highly recommend! read more

I have no idea how many times I drove right past this place without knowing it was even there, and that was when they were still in the original arcade, which was less than half as big as it is right now. I was blown away as soon as I walked through the door and saw games I hadn't seen or played since the 1980's. I was an active collector of pinball machines for many years, so I've been lucky enough to play a lot of games many people have never seen, yet this place still manages to surprise me with games I've never seen or played before. Wizard's World currently has roughly 140 pinball machines and is working on expanding to roughly 240 by the end of the year. The arcade is clean and the machines are immaculately maintained, so they play as well as you can possibly expect pinball machines that see a lot of daily use to play... Especially the games that are over 40 years old. They have everything from the old Electro Mechanical pinball machines from the 1970's (I wouldn't be surprised to see something even older than that show up on the floor eventually) all the way through the latest games that manufacturers like Stern and Spooky have to offer. The games still operate on quarters with prices ranging from 25 cents to $1. The staff are some of the nicest and friendliest people you will ever meet which is a reflection of Mike Burgess, the owner of what is definitely one of my happy places. My 9 year old daughter loves the place and she absolutely adores Mike, Paul, Bob, Molly, and Matt. because they're always so nice to her. So if you're looking for some family friendly entertainment, you can't go wrong with this place! If you're competitive, they also have a 4 strikes tournament every Monday night (everyone is welcome to play in it.) as well as a women's and children's tournament every other Friday night as well as some annual tournaments that have some pretty big prizes. If you're familiar with North Fort Wayne/Huntertown Indiana, the arcade is in the strip mall on old highway 3/Lima road just off of Highway 3 where the Subway used to be for many years. It is well worth checking out! read more

This fine establishment has an amazing selection of pinball machines running the gamut from state of the art to antique. There are quarter machines to let the kids mash on and epic titles as well. If it's running, try Joust - my favorite two player experience. read more

This place is awesome. Went on a Wednesday night and it was empty. The hospitality was awesome. All it needs to be five star is to have food and alcohol, but legit... it's a hidden gem!! We'll be back. read more

The best selection of pinball machines in Indiana, and one of the best in the country! All of the machines are well maintained, and many are totally rebuilt and look brand new. Ranging from classic EMs to brand new, just released titles, the machines are priced based on their Era. Vintage machines are $0.25 per play, and modern machines are $1.00, with many classics from the 80s and 90s being only $0.50 per play! Definitely a hidden gem outside of Huntertown on a strip mall. read more

So, we had never been here before and discovered it with a Google search. So many machines, in such great condition! There were a few that were switched off. You can tell there has been a lot of great care and passion involved in maintaining and upgrading the pinball machines. Some of the machines have super bright LED lights and multicolor displays instead of the original monochrome displays, which was a very cool, appreciated, and happy surprise. Bring lots of quarters (or get some with your debit card) because you will want to stay here in pinball arcade heaven for a while. Highly recommended. read more

Great working machines with a friendly atmosphere! Machines are from 25 cents to $1 so you can go without breaking the bank. Staff on hand to assist if there are an issues. A side note that during our current state of things there is always hand sanitizer available to use between games! Fun for all ages! Probably the best pinball hall I've been in read more

Family friendly acarade for all ages. Great place, great staff.
