Sparks Pinball Arcade - Premier Lanes

Fantastic line up of arcade and pinball machines. Fun information is posted on each machine. It is great to read. The walls are covered with interesting items. Great to visit and on my go to arcade locations in the area.

Be prepared to be overwhelmed by joy. If you have a dark soul might not be the best place for you as you will immediately be overtaken by a sense of wonder and a desire to press buttons and watch chrome balls fly all over the place. You can also throw larger balls down waxed wooden alleys and snack smaller numbered balls into felted pockets.

This is not a pinball only location. This is inside of a bowling alley. After reviewing the website, I was very excited to visit this location. However when I arrived there was NO signage or reference to the pinball arcade. I was initially confused because nothing says this is inside of a bowling alley. When i got inside you have to go through the bowling alley to get to the pinball machines. There was a nice variety but 90% of the machines were blocked by people playing billiards, crowding, and/or out of order or off machines. The machines are play per machine which was fine but the change machines were broken. I had to put money into the soda vending machine to get quarters. This is a cool bowling alley but when your showing up exclusively being advertised as a pinball arcade only, it's a bit falsely advertised which was very disappointing.

A Pinball Paradise: Sparks Pinball Museum is a Must-Visit! If you love pinball, Sparks Pinball Museum in Chesterfield, Michigan, is an absolute gem! I've been a regular here for years, and every visit feels like a trip back in time through the wonderful world of pinball. This isn't just a museum where you gaze at vintage machines from a distance; every game is playable! From the earliest pinball machines to the most modern, the collection spans the entire history of the game, and it's all in pristine condition. Michael, the passionate and dedicated owner, clearly puts his heart and soul into every aspect of Sparks. His love for pinball is evident in the way he maintains these machines—they're clean, well-cared-for, and absolutely beautiful. Honestly, Michael is just as splendid as his games. It’s rare to find someone who pours so much love into what they do, and it shows in every detail of the experience at Sparks. The atmosphere is perfect for a fun outing with friends. Sparks shares a building with a bowling alley, so if you’re looking for even more entertainment, you can easily switch between a game of pinball and knocking down some pins. The adjoining bar serves up classic bar food and drinks, making it the perfect place to kick back and have a great time. Good times, good friends, and fantastic games—that’s what Sparks is all about! Sparks Pinball Museum is one of my favorite places in the world, a true haven for pinball lovers, and a place that radiates passion and joy. I can't recommend it enough!

Thanks for the google reviews saying this was inside a bowling alley! Probably wouldn't have went inside since we couldn't see anywhere it said pinball. Great find! So much fun playing different pinball machines but I could have stayed all day playing pac man for 25 cents. Machines around the change your money into quarters. Loved that all the machines had write ups about them, enjoyed reading some of them. We will be back for sure

Wish I could rate it higher but probably 1 in 3 games are unplayable. It either eats your money or plays like trash. If you stick to a machine you know that works, its fine.

Williams/Bally pinball heaven. They have all the best machines from the pinball golden age! Once a month, they do a $10 freeplay event, which is an amazing value! This place is definitely worth the visit!

First visit. I hate leaving a bad review but this place was a huge disappointment. Don't trust the high star reviews. My husband and I came here for a fun date. The place was dead. We opened a tab, ordered some drinks, got our quarters ready. We went through and checked out each machine. There's approximately 20-30 going based on memory and they all have little blurbs on their history. I thought this was super cool. Then once we checked each one out and went to play this is where the buzz kill happened. The machines just ate our quarters! We tried 3 games and talked with the staff and they said they they don't own the machines and couldn't help. Then continued to hang out on their phone. Just a huge disappointment. I dont recommend unless you just want to look at pin ball machines and not play them.
