Seattle Pinball Museum

On the Grid : Seattle Pinball Museum

"Peel yourself off the couch away from your Playstations and XBoxes and computer games and get down to the Pinball Museum. These analog games are as infuriating as they are addictive. May we suggest the Terminator machine." - Shore

"Play a Mean Pinball At the Seattle Pinball Museum, everything may be behind glass, but nothing is hands-off! The owners have a rotating collection of pinball machines, usually about 30 at a time, ranging from old-timey wooden boxes to modern games with tons of bells and whistles. There's even an arcade game or two tucked in the back for you Pac-Man fans. $13 adult admission gets you an all-you-can-play wristband, but be warned: hours can melt away quickly in here, and only metered street parking is available. You can also rent the museum for parties or events, and pick up some cool T-shirts for a unique Seattle memento."

"Seattle Pinball Museum, International District by Shore. Peel yourself off the couch away from your Playstations and XBoxes and computer games and get down to the Pinball Museum. These analog games are as infuriating as they are addictive. May we suggest the Terminator machine."

With over 50 playable machines (all on free play with admission), kids and adults alike can challenge each other on classics and modern favorites.
