  • Great Place For Families and Couples
    This is an absolute for families with kids probably 10 and up or for couples for a date night. This place is like hitting vacation gold for a parent! They have a wide selection of pinball games and some other arcade games that are a blast from the past. I initially thought we would be there and hour but after two my wife and I left any my kids stayed another couple of hours. I could have stayed even longer! The staff is nice and friendly and it was just a overall great place to drop in and spend some time. On the pinball machines they have a description of the machine and a little history about it which is really neat. They have a pinball machine that was they same model used in Happy Days! Heyyyy! They also have quite a few arcade games that the kids that are used to Xboxes would enjoy! They have quite a few gems and I would hate to spoil it!

  • Family fun!
    We had the best time! My kids had so much fun. It was a little crowded in the middle of the day, but we went to eat a late lunch and came back. We played for about 4 1/2 hours total. Well worth the $20 each. We will be back!

  • Great Date Night
    Such a fun, unique place! Many pinball and arcade games. The staff is very kind and the business is very clean. My first trip there was a date night. I enjoyed it so much that I planned a work Christmas party there. It was a huge hit with everyone!

  • Fun gaming experience
    My teenagers, my husband, and I had a great time here on our visit to Chattanooga. We took advantage of the wristband allowing us to return any time during that day, so total, we probably spent over three hours at the Arcade Pinball Museum. I would definitely recommend for families with older kids looking for a unique gaming experience.

    Nostalgic Times with Family
    Awesome time spent with family. The staff was very courteous and eager to answer any questions. The selection of games was nostalgic for my wife and I, but also letting our kids experience the excitement we had at their age. Highly recommend and will be going back. The ability to come and go with your wrist band is ideal to eat and come back.

  • Best museum in Chattanooga!
    This is a MUST stop if you're in Chattanooga. Pay for admission and get free play all day on some of the best vintage arcade and pinball games. I went with my husband and two elementary age kids and we had an absolute blast! We spent half the day there and had to drag the kids out because they didn't want to leave. We will DEFINITELY be going back on our next trip to Chattanooga!

    Arcade for the win
    Vintage! Classic! Pinball and arcade. Retro pinball and even new pinball machines. Pac-man, donkey Kong, so many more. 1 price for the entire day. Wish I knew about this place a lot earlier in the trip. Go here!! Located near a bunch of restaurants too. You can re-enter with your pass.

    Great stop in downtown Chattanooga!
    Great place for all ages. We loved hanging out here and enjoying the classic arcade games and playing vintage to recent pinball. The place wasn’t overly crowded and it welcomed all ages. I would highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience living your young days all over again. Well worth the admission to play pinball and your favorite arcade games all day.

Just a short walk down from the aquarium and other attractions. Admission not only gets you in but you can play all of the arcade games / pinball machines as well.

The arcade is fun, but over-priced (anyone over age 10 is considered an adult and pays full price). If you’re staying all day in Chattanooga and really love old video and arcade games, it would be more worth it (you can come and go all day with your bracelet), but for a stop to break up a road trip with something novel, the novelty wore off quickly, making it an almost a $100 stop (including tax) for a family of four.

Not Family Friendly.
Not worth the money.
The guy at the front does not know how to interact with families nor kids in general.

We wanted to enjoy our time their, our older kids were there to supervise our youngest with us checking in and keeping an eye on them as well. In the time span of less than 10 minutes he told them "if they pressed buttons" he would charge them for playing, yet he knew they were there to help assist the younger sibling who he allowed to play. Then he returned to the front for a few minutes to then turn back around to go and tell them "if the younger child broke something to tell him so he could charge us" and the entire time I stood there observing this play out. Instead of speaking to the parents like he should have if he felt there was an issue, he addressed the kids in this situation. So, instead of enjoying a trip down memory lane playing games we grew up with, we went back and spoke with our very mature, polite kids who explained the situation and proceeded to vacate the location due to the lack of hospitality and we caution families from wasting your time and money on this location.
