My niece had a private birthday party here and it was great! All there pinball machines were working and it was so much fun to try all the different ones. I'm planning on going back again with some friends to show them the place. Lots of fun!
Absolutely loved my visit to Perfect Tilt Pinball!! The lighting aesthetic is stunning and creates an immersive, nostalgic vibe that's perfect for a night out. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and enthusiasm, making the experience even better. The machines were new and well-maintained and offered a great variety of games. This was hands down the best time I've had in a long while?can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!
What an amazing place. The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. Tons of pinball machines to choose from. Staff is always friendly. Food is great aswell.
I'm not gonna lie... I LOVE a good pinball machine. Perfect Tilt Pinball has 20 of the best! For $7, you can play all the pinball you want for an hour. But, I HIGHLY recommend you do at least 2 hours. These pinball machines are either brand new or very recently refurbished. There is no way you can play them all in an hour. The staff is very friendly, the vibe is groovy, and they even have food right there. Perfect Titl will absolutely be in my next "Best of Springfield " video!
This was my first time coming here, and I'm so glad I did! Spent 4 hrs on Friday night and 6 hrs Saturday, and still didn't want to leave. Reminds me of my old arcade days in the 80's! Great place! Very clean. Awesome decor. Machines are in pristine condition. They OBVIOUSLY care about their machines! Always wiping them down and taking care of them. Not once did I have a flipper problem or one single malfunction. Super impressed! Oh, and did I mention they have great munchies too?! The workers an
A great way to be entertained for an hour! Paid $10 and played great state of the art pinball machines non stop for a full hour. The owner was so nice! Atmosphere is really fun too!
Such a great time here! The staff is very friendly, and the vibes and decor here are so awesome! A perfect first date location and they do tournaments all the time!
Awesome place. Kind people work there. Always offering a helping hand. Why go anywhere else? Kids are welcomed. Tournaments for all ages. Finger food & personal pizzas with fair prices. No alcohol allowed.
Machines work. Great selection of new titles. Place is clean and fun. Prices reasonable. Owner is super cool. Make sure you call first to ensure it's not a league night or special event. I want to go every time I'm in springfield!
Our grandson wanted to go to an arcade for his birthday so we brought him here on Friday, 4/18/25 after lunch to show him what a pinball machine was so he could decide if he wanted to spend his birthday money there. A very rude employee, who was an older lady, came over to us yelling that we can't show him the machine. I tried to explain to her that he doesn't know what a pinball machine is and that we weren't playing, didn't even pull a ball, we were just explaining how it works before he decided if he wa
Great place. Tons of machines(13, I think). The staff is amazing and the food is really good. They are always bringing in the newest Stern games. The new rewards app is pretty sweet??
Me and my girlfriend loved this place! Very clean, staff were very polite and ready to help whenever needed, the tables are in wonderful condition and well maintained and the prices are honestly a steal for how much pinball you'll get to play ($7 for 1 hour, $10 for 2 hours or $20 per person for a day pass!). Just keep in mind it's cash only, though they do have an ATM you can use inside. They also serve food and drink which I didn't get to try this time around but will definitely have to try maybe the nex
This place is amazing we had so much fun...my husband suprised me when we were in town .we will definitely be back when we are in town .
We always find pinball while traveling and recently ended up in Columbia, MO. Checked pinside and saw a few places listed. Tried a retro arcade downtown, then headed to Perfect Tilt Pinball. If you are a fan of the silverballs, this is a must do stop! 20+ well maintained, mostly newer Sterns, that are top of the line models; no pros here, just Premiums and LE! Other customers playing there were experienced enthusiasts (don't see that everywhere) and the lady working the counter was knowledgeable, frie
I love this place. The Elton John and Strangers things pins are my favorite. I've always dreamed of a place like this with JUST pinball. I also enjoyed playing at the tint shop before they opened up this building.
Perfect place to get your game on! Great for a date night or the serious pinballer. Pay your dues and get free play on 20 or so machines and if you're bad me you'll get more than 7 games in an hour making it better than going to a place for $1 play.
Some of the best maintained machines I've ever seen! Great place with wonderful people - The owner really seems to care about making sure everyone is happy and having a good time, and keeps the environment clean and friendly.
Machines are in pristine condition! Pay by the hour and fit in as many games as you can. If you're not very good (like me!) that means you get a lot more games for your money. A variety of games and some Limited Edition machines, combo'ed with monthly tournaments, make this a spot you don't want to miss out on!
Just took our 11 and 14 year old with my husband and it was awesome. Loved it so much!!! Had a great time and they had great games!!
Fantastic collection of high end versions of pins you rarely see on location. The games are in great shape and Stern games have Insider Connected active. A really nice place to play pinball.
A terrific venue we are lucky to have! We are there weekly, it's the best value for fun anywhere in Springfield. Great for kids too as they offer kids leagues and other events for all ages. The pinball community there is always welcoming and encouraging. Highly recommended!!
We had our first visit at Perfect Tilt Pinball today. The machines were in perfect working order, the facility is awesome and you can't beat the price. We'll be back!!
Had a blast playing pinball today! It was the perfect price too! Only had to pay $10 for two hours of nonstop pinball fun! The pinball machines were all new and in excellent condition and I played every one of them with no issues. The staff were super friendly. They sell food items there too. Next time I will try the food since it smelled good. I didn't try it this time because I had already eaten. I had a really good time! I will definitely be going back to play more! Loved it!!!!
I love this pinball arcade! It's really grown over the last 2 years and Brandon does an awesome job keeping the machines in top-tier condition. You cant beat his pricing, especially on tables like these!
Best pinball within a 150 mile radius I'm a huge pinball fan, raised in Springfield Mo but working currently a couple states over in Indiana. I go home to visit family every so often, and I almost always stop here. They have all the top trim models of all the newest, most popular pinball machines, and keeps them in pristine condition and cleanliness. If you're there for a casual game or going for the leaderboard, this is the place to go. You can also grab a bite to eat between games as they serve food as w
We visited Perfect Tilt when we went to Springfield for my birthday. Heads up, this isn't like other pinball places. Here, you pay only $10 and you get two full hours of unlimited play! The machines they have are fantastic. They have some classic machines, but most are the brand new games that have video screens. One thing we noticed, they keep the pinball machines perfectly calibrated. We didn't know how important this was until we realized that Magoos, in Tulsa, tilts the machines to make them steeper, th
so many fun pinball games! definitely an affordable and fun place to kill some time or spend with people. be sure to have cash, though, as they do not take card!
Before you go to this place be sure to check the website for tournaments. If there is a tournament or tournament practice going on you can not go in and just play for fun. We made a special trip to Springfield only to be told tourney only. I will say that the games and facility looked nice. Edit: responding to business response.. It wasn't the not knowing about the tournament. I couldn't find anywhere on the site/page that said the place didn't allow people to play for fun while tourney was going on. That i
We reserved the place for 2 hours for a party. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. We all had a blast! Biggest problem....too many great pinball machines to play them all in that time. ... Have to come back for a day pass. Thank you so much for a great time!
We had my son's birthday party there and it was a blast! We loved the neon decorations, birthday board, variety of pinballs machines and the staff could not be nicer and hard-working. The machines, room, tables, chairs, floor, and bathrooms were clean and set-up ready to go. Definitely would recommend.
Fun place to hang out pay by the hour so super convenient has food and drinks. Plenty of machines didn't have to sit around and wait
Whether you are a seasoned pinball wizard or have never had the privilege to play the wonderful game of pinball, you should get to Perfect Tilt Pinball ASAP and check it out. They currently have a mix of 19 pristine LE and Premium pinball machines to enjoy! Super reasonable door prices by the hour, with all games set to free play. You will not find a group of better-maintained machines anywhere in Southwest Missouri. They hold regularly scheduled tournaments for all skill levels, which are always a lot of f
Beautiful games. Well maintained and clearly taken very good care of. Brandon never meets a stranger and the food is great too!
10 bucks for an hour of all you can play pinball! Friendly staff and patrons. Bring cash for the vending machine if you want a snack. Classic old school fun. Loved it!
Amazing to have a dedicated pinball hall in Springfield MO. This pinball arcade has the latest games from Stern, Chicago Gaming and others. This new space offers lots of room in a sea of machines. The owners are as awesome as the games they present??. Enjoy for fast fun entertainment or come grab some IFPA points at the tournaments in this sweet arcade
This place is the bee's knees. So clean, machines operate like they were built yesterday. Cost 20 smackers for the whole day, and if short on time 10 bucks gets you 120 minutes of excitement that no where else in Springfield could you get the same adrenaline rush without using an EPI-PEN.
I was so disappointed. I had been trying to get across town to check out this place out for several days. I wanted to come see it in person. Tomorrow is Halloween and I was wanting to maybe hang out there and just chill playing games for a bit. The little dude who opened the door was very rude to me. Their page said they would be open today but he said they would not be open. Also if he wasn't opening today. Why did he place a menu board on the sidewalk and was sweeping around the front door. After being ex
I really recommend visiting if you love to play pinball !!! All the machines are in excellent condition, which makes for a good game . I've been there got the T-Shirt & if your In the area you should do the same !!
It doesn't get any better than perfect tint pinball! The owner is the absolute best. The place is always clean. The machines are always working. The atmosphere is perfect. Everyone is always very friendly. Monthly tournaments with tons of prizes for both beginners and veterans. Always a great time at perfect tint pinball! Cannot recommend them enough!
Amazing place to play pinball, family-friendly, locally owned and operated. It's wonderful to see business owners who care about their customers and give back to the community that supports their business. Come check out the Monday night ladies pinball league!
Stopped in during our two day stop in Springfield and was anything but disappointed! Great arcade with a super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cool retro atmosphere, very clean and the games are top notch
Hands down the best place to play pinball around Springfield! The atmosphere is awesome and the machine selection is on point. They even have great food!
Brought our teen boys here and had a blast. Very clean, owner takes pride in his machines and his place. Great price for the fun. I would highly recommend!
Top notch well maintained pinball machines, friendly people, and complimentary snacks and drinks. They hold tournaments often that are always a blast and with awesome door prizes. I'm always excited to visit and play at Perfect Tint.
Stopped in for an hour with my 10 year old, all the machine are pristine, the place is very clean, it was an awesome experience. Will definitely be back!
Amazing machines, they host their own tournaments(any age, any skill level), well organized, tons of fun, great door prizes. Owner seems like he really has a passion for pinball. A great place overall.
I had no idea how much I was going to love Pinball until I discovered perfect tilt! They have the best games and they are always in pristine condition. There is not a detail that is missed here.
Cool place! It's clean and it's got friendly staff.
This is a great place to play pinball. The machines are fun and well maintained and the staff and owner have always been nice.

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.”
Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. 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.
