Hosted a family weekend event here with my organization. Parents and students love the place and had a blast! Rob was great in planning and communication. Definitely something for all ages.
I love this place! For $9/hour, you get access to a wide variety of pinball machines and arcade-style games. During First Fridays, they have a $5 deal. The customer service is always wonderful. I always have a great experience! Highly recommend checking this place out!
I recently had the pleasure of having a work function/team building experience at Flippin' Great Pinball. We rented the arcade for an hour of unlimited arcade play and it was such a fun time for our staff. Our staff ranges in age between over 30 years from our youngest and oldest employee and every last person was able to enjoy their time. The mixture of pinball, older arcade, and newer arcade games gave more than enough choices for everyone to enjoy. I myself was happy to play some NBA Jams, among others.
Extremely friendly staff and very cool assortment of video arcades and pinball. The owners are passionate set of video game enthusiasts who take pride in their authentic experience. The machines are all real hardware and maintained very well. Plenty of couples and families with children were welcomed in and had a great time while I enjoyed my stay. Prices are great where every machine is set to free play and you just pay by the hour or the day. The location is very nice and safe with lots of mom and pop sho
Such a fun spot and can't wait to come back again. Came with husband and two 4 year olds. We all had a blast and loved it! Great prices, great games. Fun to play again and again. Love how you just push a button to start a game again. Made it really easy for the kids to figure things out. We came for an hour and had so much fun, added on another hour. Appreciated that they had a foot stool under pinball machines.
Fantastic fun! Highly recommend . Had two birthdays for my boys, and cub scouts gatherings as well. Parents and kids have a good time ??. I really hope they can find another premises of Railroad Square keeps up charging their tenants for space!
The only true family oriented arcade, in the Panhandle, that has rhythm games in the lineup. Your kids do not want to enter a bar. They want to play games. Just being inside of a bar-like venue will pollute children to wanting to drink just like these people down the line. This place is NOT a bar. Go here and enjoy the games and the precious people who treat people well.
Great selection of pinball to choose from and kept in great working condition. Also had a variety of other games besides pinball which was great. Overall had a great time and will return next time in the area.
My wife and I were looking for places in Florida to enjoy for a day vacation. She heard about Flippn' Great Pinball, and since we love arcades and video games. We stopped in Tallahassee, to try the place. They have a great set of pinball games, and other arcade games. There's one's from different decades, and genres too. They have a great atmosphere, and everyone is very friendly. They charge by the hour, and everything to play costs nothing during the hour. Which it's decently priced too. My wife and I als
Fantastic arcade. Nice Pinball selection. Great vibes. Friendly staff. A family-friendly environment. All the games are set to freeplay. This place has everything from Astroids, Street Fighter 6, DDR, Super Mario World, Outrun 1 and 2, and House of the Dead. The games played wonderfully. The Ms. Pacman cabinet was the smoothest I have played in a long time. (I surpassed my personal best score??.) Gamers, you have to check this spot out. First Friday of the month, you get unlimited play for $5. Normal Price
Such an incredible time!! So fun and staff is so friendly!
Excellent experience. On a day trip to Tallahassee my daughter suggested this location. It happened to be $5 First Friday which was even better. Fun, clean, great atmosphere, and lived the art district all around. Highly recommend. Everything worked well, workers were friendly.
Finally got to visit post-expansion! Such a great selection, especially rythm games! (And obviously soooo many pinball machines)
This is what community and pure joy feels like. This place. So grateful you guys exist and I wish for another 1000 years of this place, please and thanks.
All games work. Very reasonable price. Great for family time
Really fun place! There's a good variety of pinball machines, racing, fighting, old school and even dance revolution. The worker was super friendly. It was 10$ per person for an hour, and I think that was totally fair.
Great place! They have a great selection of older tables ( that are well taken care of and in good shape) as well as several of the newer Stern tables! They are very accommodating for kids too with step stools at every table and arcade style video games toward the back.
Had my husband's birthday party here and Kristy was SO accommodating. It was a great time and I cannot stress enough how welcome we felt. THANKS KRISTY!
We always have a great time here. Pay by the hour and all the pinball and arcade games are set to free play. It is in a great location too, tucked in Railroad Square with plenty to do and places to eat. I load up the kids and we make an evening out of it.
Love this place it takes me back and I finally beat TMNT! The staff are awesome and it's a great deal for First-Fridays where it's $5 till 12am! They're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and normally open at 4 the other days. Check em out! Oh and you have got to try out the Deadpool pin all machine. It's fun, silly and fast.
Wonderful arcade selection. Could spend hours here.
Amazing hidden gem! Great place, lots of awesome classic games. Amazing friendly staff. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Had my daughter's 14th birthday here today and it was awesome! The lady working there was so kind and helpful. The family was so happy with the games from my dad (67) to my youngest child (10). A little hard to find parking at times but well worth it.
So much fun! For my family if 4 we spent an hour of fun for around $30 and had unlimited free play. Good selection of machines, only 1 wasn't working, but properly labeled. Staff was super nice. Great place to have nostalgic fun. Highly recommend!
Love this place! Only place around for pinball nerds that we have found. Great prices for play and two different staff memebers I've interacted with were friendly and welcoming. Support this local business!
Amazing First time!!!! My boys (12) & (8) loved it. We will Definitely be back soon!!!!.
What an awesome cool family friendly place! Such a good time!
We took my son there for his 11th birthday and had a blast. There were tons of new and old pinball machines. Even the adults got to play which is a first for me at the kids birthday party. Customer service was excellent and we will be coming back.
Absolutely excellent staff! The owner is extremely wonderful! He accommodated us last minute for a Birthday party of 17 people! He even cleaned up the party room and helped me set up! They are well priced and it is such a laid back and relaxing atmosphere! Definitely our new hangout spot! Thanks again! You guys were life savers and made my Husband and Best friends double bday a blast! :)
My husband and I found this place on Google when looking for something to do to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary while visiting family out of state. I play pinball competitively in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. This place is an ABSOLUTE GEM. Their machines are well taken care of and there is a great variety of machines to enjoy and the price point is affordable if not a steal for how much fun you will have here. Also the area it is located was a complete surprise for us as we had never been in
This place is amazing!! So cheap to play as much as you want!! The machines are so well cared for and the bumpers work really well!! Plus it's in a art district so my wife could shop while I played. Take the kids!! The have a family rate!! Top thing to in Tallahassee!!
Flipping Great Pinball was tons of fun! We had a birthday party here for a little girl turning 11, and we were able to reserve the entire place to ourselves for a great price. Our group rangwd from the youngest at 6 and the oldest at 82 years old! Nanny was one of the 1st players with a bracelet on and playing one of the old school pinball machines. We all had a blast. Much thanks to Adam and the rest of the team for a great night!
Owner is a class act and this is an all around great company. Thank you from us at Florida Estate Sales and Grace!
Best kept secret in Tallahassee. My son had a birthday party and he loved it. He said it was his best party ever. Private party, party room, and a great price. This place is great and we will definitely be back. LOVED! Staff was awesome too.
We celebrated our daughter's 9 th birthday here. The experience for the kids was awesome. The owner was very accommodating, excellent customer service and very reasonable priced for birthday parties. We all had a blast!!!
This place rules. The machines are all in fantastic condition, even the super vintage ones. I'm a bit of an old school arcade buff, so I'm not easily impressed. I've been to a few pin ball arcades in central Florida. Some where top notch, others not so much. In my opinion, Flipping Great Pinball is definitely in the top percentile of vintage arcades I have been too. I'm really excited Tallahassee has this place. I'll def be back.
I would love to say bad things and keep this hidden gem a secret, But we had so much fun the other night I want to tell everyone about it! The selection was amazing, the memories the machines brought back was phenomenal. Can't wait till the next time!
As a pinball enthusiast, I enjoyed this little arcade very much. Pay one price and play for an hour or for a bit more pay come and go for the day. Was great to see a mix of vintage and newer pinball. Was a bit sad to see that Comet was not working as it has always been a favorite, but everything else was in great working order!
Well worth the drive, had it reserved for two hours on Wednesday, lots of great pinball machines, and some very good retro arcade machines as well. Will definitely go back again in the future and would definitely recommend checking it out if you are into retro arcades/ machines, has a great retro vibe.
I'm new to Tallahassee and this is my favorite place to go so far. They are really great at keeping their machines up and running. They also get a new machine or swap a game out on the NEO-GEO at least once a month, which keeps my experience new and fun. The selection of machines gives a great overview of pinball history with some really old machines all the way up to some brand new modern machines. The staff has always been incredibly friendly and will gladly give you tips and tricks for a game that you ar
Fun place, not too crowded at all when I went, like a dozen different pinball machines to play, like half dozen arcade games, about $8/hour to play as much as you want in that time, looked like they had a room in the back for parties. Fun place, I probably will return when I save up some more money for fun stuff
Had my daughter's 9th birthday here. It was non stop fun for her and all of her friends and the adults. The place is super clean, staff was amazing and best of all ... all the games actually worked and aren't just for show.
Such a cool place! What a fun retro time!
If the first place you gravitate to in any arcade is the pinball machine, this is the place for you. This cozy spot houses 15 out so unique pinball machines as well as a handful of arcade cabinets like Street Fighter. The pinball machines are kept in good working order for their age, which is no easy task. The basic idea is that instead of pumping quarters into the machines, you pay a flat fee when you go in (hourly or daily fee) and play as much as you want on each machine. The staff is extremely knowle
Great place to play classic pinball and arcade games. The prices are reasonable for the variety of games and the staff are friendly. All the machines are kept in nice condition. A gem of a find in Tallahassee!
Our daughter had a birthday party here for her friends with disabilities. It was wonderful. Everyone has a great time.
Super awesome place. We got there about 15 minutes before it opened and they saw us outside and let us come on in. Very clean. Good selection of games. Staff was super friendly. It was a great experience.
Best arcade and pinball in the north Florida area by far. New and old pinballs, arcade games, and console games for a very affordable price per hour/for the day. And they host parties for children and adults. I know where I'm going for my birthday this year!
Small place but loads of fun if you enjoy vintage pinball and arcade games. Great price by the hour. Service was great.
Loved the place, hope it's there for many years to come
They really should just rename this place F***ing Great Pinball. Its a great place to meet up with a tinder date to take the awkwardness out of breaking the ice. Buy a 30 minute play session and if things go good, grab coffee. If not buy a couple drinks at proof brewery and resume your pinball session.
This place is great! The games actually work, they have some of the latest releases, and it's reasonably priced. Whether you are a family, a group, or an individual, it's a blast!
Lots of fun, super nice staff. Classic pinball and some modern games like Street Fighter IV and Cuphead
This arcade is very well kept and entertaining. There is a good selection of pinball machines and more game options like Mrs. Paceman and Maro cart. The prices are reasonable as well.
Had my Son (7) and Daughter (3) birhtday party here this weekend and it was wonderful! We had so much fun very friendly staff and games for all ages! We will be back again!
Great games, really clean and safe, great service. I had so much fun. The price is great, too. I will definitely be back!
Great fun! Small shop, plenty of pinball machines of many vintages, a few video games of varied age, reasonably-priced drinks, and a great hourly rate. Loved it!
Awesome place. Very clean, staff is super friendly. And the tables are in excellent condition and theres plenty to pick from. Great pricing as well! Will be coming back soon!
Great Playing Pins (Well Maintained), Amazing Staff, and Good Location all make for a fun hour or all day event for yourself, or the whole family. The great thing is all ages will enjoy playing pinball!
Been there plenty of times, a classic arcade that offers healthy rotation of games. Prices are pretty great even if you're only in there for an hour or two.
Due to covid you have to make reservations but we had the place to ourselves. Pay flat price and play unlimited games for the hour. Will definitely bring back memories
Great place, awesome vibe, helpful staff, and wholesome fun all around!
Lots of great pinball and arcade games, prices are very customer friendly. The whole family loved it.
The place is great. The machines are all taken care of and the vibes are awesome.
Stopped in with a small group and had a great time exploring all their old pinball machine s.
Great place indeed, they have Marvel vs Capcom 2........MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2!!!! Thank you guys for the great memories, of dominating fools with Venom, Doom, and I'M THE JUGGERNAUT B! $&#! But all around great place indeed!
I loved Going here pre covid but now with the new protocol its seemed to lose some of the spark. Hope they can open up like they did before miss meeting new people here !
Great place for pinball lovers. They have a great variety of new and old pinball machines and they take amazing care of their machines.
Great selection of machines and friendly staff.
The staff was friendly, the games were a great mix of retro and recent, and I really loved bringing my girlfriend here.
Best place I have ever been to play retro pinball games.
Fun place to have a party with friends. We sure enjoyed the use of the party room and playing pinball.
Go there for a fun family night! It was a total blast.
Lots of great pinball and arcade games like Galaga, Street Fighter, Funhouse and more. Very reasonable pricing and they have lots of fun events.
A great time! The workers are very kind and the price is worth for how much fun you can have.
Awesome place. Only thing I would think about mentioning negatively would be that there were a few pinball machines not working when I tried them.
A fantastic place for anyone who loves video games and pinball. Prices are fair and the variety is great!
Great little arcade. Not very big but full of games. The staff is friendly and helpful!
Rustic, which I love, and tons of fun! They have some great pinball games and old arcade games. Had a blast and dusted off some old skills.
The best pinball in Tallahassee. Reserve your time now to enjoy a clean well kept game room.
Awesome little arcade, we've been several times and it's always very enjoyable!!
Very nice! Well maintained pinball machines. The mix between old and new machines was fantastic.
If old arcade pinball machines, old fighting games like Street Fighter, or even arcade classics like Donkey Kong are something you'd like to spend awhile doing without paying per play, this place is awesome
Greatest place to play pinball and old-school games. Will definitely be coming back.
This place is awesome and is a great time for a date. A lot of fun can be had here!
Loved it. Took my Tech savvy 16 year old son and he had a blast too.
Me and my kids had a blast for an hour. We'll be returning another day!
Flipping good time indeed. Guy behind the counter was nice and helpful. Very fun
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community.
