Asheville Pinball Museum - Museum in Asheville - 1 Battle Square Ste 1b, USA

So happy we came to the pinball museum on our weekend getaway. I didn’t realize how many games there were to actually play. There are three different rooms. 2 of them being old arcade game, which I didn’t know upon arrival. It was a great surprise. I am 20 and still enjoyed the theme of the 80’s. Time flies when you’re in here. We spent two hours playing away. The only comment I would make is the parking situation is not easy, but no fault to the museum.

First come, first serve! Only, 15$ admission price for all-day play, and 100% worth it. Highly recommend arriving 20-30 minutes before opening to guarantee a quick entry. Was first in line on a New Years Eve, and they only allow 63 people in at one time so everyone can play. You may have to wait for an extended period of time (1 to 2+ hours) Super fun, awesome experience, and loads of great history! Classics everyone can enjoy. Just pack your patience if you're not one of the first ones inside.

first let me say this: FREE to enter with no obligation to play. $15 for all day play. This place was super cool!!! Very 80’s themed and for someone like myself, born in ‘92, I must admit I was a bit skeptical when my wife suggested we visit. We walked in and the gentleman at the counter explained to us it was free to tour and $15 for an all you can play pass. We walked around for about 20 minutes and we’re very intrigued. We bought 2 passes and played away! This was a very fun experience and each game has cards above it explaining a little about the history and the year. It was very cool playing games that my parents played as teenagers and calling them for advice. Our 3 month old baby was put to sleep by the dark setting and lights/ sounds, so that helped. A MUST visit if you’re in town. They also have a bag check and a coat check so that you can be a bit more comfortable.

Had a great time. This is a Pinball players paradise. You can come and go as you please on the same day is amazing. They have vintage art and they even have arcades in the back. The staff was super friendly. Keep up the great work guys.

There is probably no better way to spend $15 and enjoy the entire day then at this place. You need to get there about 15 minutes before opening to guarantee yourself a spot to get in on the first round. They do not allow more than 50 people in at one time and will not allow more in until people leave. You get a wristband and you can play all day. They have drinks and snack food. Every single game that we played worked, which was totally a miracle if you’re from the 1970s in the 1980s this place is unbelievably fun.

this place is AWESOME! we were visiting asheville on vaca and my boyfriend loves pinball machines so this was a must! $15 let’s you play all day, but if you’re accompanying someone and you won’t play, it’s free for you to get in. you get a wristband to distinguish between the two. lots of workers around to help when the balls get stuck in the machines. lots of history to look at when scoping out the vintage machines. the bathrooms are large, dope, and decorated!! LOTS of machines here, as well as an arcade in the back of old games that aren’t pinball machines. some old school console games too! sodas and beers available to drink, and there’s a capacity limit to keep the place cozy, manageable and not too packed. you HAVE to stop in if you’re in the area :)

The Asheville Pinball Museum is so much fun! The vintage pinball and video games are so beautiful and fun to play. My favorites are the arcade video Joust game and the Beatles pinball which throws out multiple balls at once! Highly recommend this place for all ages.

What fun! When we arrived they were on an hour wait but the host took our name and number so we were able to walk around and visit the surrounding shops while we waited. Once inside the $15 admission price allows you to play many different pinball and arcade games. There is no limit to how long you can stay. We stayed for about 2 and a half hours and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend!
