The Pinball Gallery is always a blast. I had no idea competitive pinball leagues were a thing and I have enjoyed them as well as tournament events for a year. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Great place for private parties!
We rented out two hours of free play for a work event. They have a great mix of newer and classic games. All were in excellent repair so we had zero issues. The folks that work there are very nice. I would highly recommend you give the Pinball Gallery a try.
HUGE selection of pinball tables; I was there for 2 hours and only got through about 2/3 of them. It definitely gets noisy in there but that's to be expected at an arcade. Prices are also reasonable ($18 for 2 hours). If you're a pinball wizard or you're just looking for a fun dose of nostalgia, this place is a must-visit!
It's great to see so many arcades popping up again. I like to patronize them all. But Bill has been doing it for a long time and quite frankly, his is the best. Excellent mix of old and new pins as well the great classic video games from the past. He now owns some pins and games from my past collection and I am grateful to keep playing them. Crossbow looks and plays amazing and so great to see Kitty From The Black Lagoon ??
We had a blast! So many pinball machines, but we had our favorites that we played on. Guns 'n Roses was awesome! And for all the 80's babies out there who grew up with Nintendo, you can play Super Mario Brothers on a vintage television. It was like muscle memory - I beat the first world like it was nothing and my 12 year old was in awe. They even have fun little vintage board games and stuff to do when you want to take a break from pinball. My favorite, though? The PacMan video game and pinball machine c
Hands down the place to go if you want to experience many different eras of pinball machines. They have everything from the 70s all the way to brand new machines that just came out. Not only is the atmosphere is relaxing players are always willing to help out and teach you the rules of the games.
What an amazing place. Everything from antique machines up to the very latest. They even had all 3 black knight machines right next to each other.
If you grew up in the 80s, you have to check this place out. It's like traveling back in time and reliving your wildest childhood dreams! Every game you remember, they have it. They charge a flat fee in the front and you can play everything. The game collection is extensive. The location is convenient too. After you're done with the gallery, you can go next door for Asian grocery shopping! ??
So much fun! $10/person for one night! Perfect date night idea.
Incredible pinball collection spanning from 70?s solid states through to a game that literally came out last week. Very clean, attentively-maintained machines and owners who clearly care about community. Incredible value at $20/day, low hourly rates, everything set to free play!
If you like arcades of the style from the 1980's, with pinball machines and other Pac Man type electronic arcade games, this is a good place to visit. Check their hours before planning a visit because most of their open hours are in the evenings, unless you're going to arrange for private party during daylight hours.
A wonderful little arcade with an amazing selection of pinball. Everything is spread out nicely so you don't feel too cramped or crowded in. A magnificent place to play, hang out, or maybe join a league. Machines are all super well maintained. The limited hours are it's only drawback
One hour is barely enough time to get started but we will be back again. Great place to play pinball and assorted games.
I recently visited the Pinball Gallery in Malvern with one of my grandsons, and it was an incredible experience that brought back so many memories! The place is a treasure trove of pinball machines from past to present, and I felt like I traveled back in time to my youth. It was not only a fun day but also surprisingly affordable, making it a fantastic spot for families and enthusiasts alike. The machines were all in excellent condition?clean, well-functioning, and meticulously maintained. I even recognize
Such a great concept for those of us who dig pinball! So many machines - I'm in pinball heaven, plus they have other classic video games and a section of console games. The owners are great and are attentive to maintaining the machines. They hosted a NYE party in 2016 that was a blast, which was a great option for something to do with our 11 year old. Because who can find a sitter to go out NYE?
Amazing!! Drove almost 2 hours to visit and it was so worth it! The owners and staff are so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We paid for the whole day and made good use of it. All of the machines are set to free play, and you can spend the day hopping from game to game. That was a mind-blown moment at first, and we had to fight the urge to jump and giggle like school kids and run in like maniacs! The machines are very well maintained and there's such a good mix of old school and newer games. There are al
They are fantastic, I literally was searching to play haunted house. And I found a place that had it and they also have a lot of other ones I liked too.
My husband is a member of Pinball Gallery and participates in the leagues. When I saw that you can host private parties at the venue, I booked a 2-hour slot and planned a surprise birthday party for him. The staff were extremely conscientious in helping me organize the party without my husband finding out (a difficult feat, as he goes there weekly!) It was incredibly easy to book the space online and there was ample room to write comments particular to your event. The day of the surprise party, staff arrive
The Pinball Gallery has an amazing collection of playable pinball machines, new and old. I've had a great time participating in a league there. It's fun for the whole family, highly recommend!
I went to my friends birthday party that was being held here and I had soo much fun!! The bad cats pinball was my favorite! Def recommend ??????????
We rented out a slot to have our baby shower/birthday party and it was amazing! Everyone had a great time, numerous people said ?it was the best baby shower they ever had been to?. Plenty of time to keep things simple and not too overwhelming, and definitely way more affordable than all the venues that claim to be. The staff was so friendly and helpful with everything. My fiance now wants to have all of HIS birthdays there :)
They have a great selection of pinball machines, arcade games and classic consoles. I'm glad I went there!
Not only is the place awesome, with so many games to play?.but Bill who owns Pinball Gallery is extremely nice. He's knowledgeable about repairing machines and is a genuine nice guy. Look forward to coming back to Pinball Gallery!
Great place lot of meat pinballs and old school video games good place to bring the family $20 get you two hours on most games
This place has a wide variety of pinball machines and other games. You can pay by the hour or get an all day pass. There is something for everyone! You can have a lot of fun for your money here. So glad this place is still going strong. Update: Pinball Gallery is still awesome. My husband I booked this for his birthday and everyone had a fantastic time. The owners and staff were so kind and accommodating. The pricing was affordable and they were completely upfront about it - what you see on the website is
Awesome place with a great selection of old and new pinball machines! The games are always in perfect condition. My son and I both enjoy spending an hour or two playing our favorite games.
This place has a great variety of pinball games. It was cool to see very modern machines next to some older models. Seeing how machines have changed over the years was fascinating. I feel like we got out money's worth with all the games we played. While we mainly went for the new Foo Fighters pinball machine, the whole was awesome and we'll be back.
So much variety of classic pinball machines to modern. I love that they have arcade machines from the 80s and 90s too. Also good price for 1 hour
Pure, retro-gaming heaven. You can tell this entire collection was assembled and maintained with care. Some of these machines are ultra-rare and it's amazing to have the chance to play them. The pricing is extremely fair. Almost all machines are set to free play (with very few exceptions) - along with hourly and daily rates. When I visited, the rates were $20 for the day, or $8 per hour - which personally for me was well worth the money. I had a blast. Also, the owners are incredibly kind and helpful. I
Went for the first time today and loved it!! Price is excellent - $36 for two people for two hours, but we ran out of steam around 90 min. So many fun games, and lots of great variety! Can't wait to come back for more!!
A truly great place for pinpall enthusiasts and arcade gamers alike. Great wonderful owners and staff. Sherry and Bill the owners are wonderful engaging people. Safe and welcoming environment. Alot and I mean alot of machines. Brings me back to the 80's where I basically lived in arcades. Thanks for being such a great addition to Malvern gang! 5 ??!!
Hands down the BEST Pinball Establishment I've ever been to. They have an amazingly eclectic selection of games, old and new. Also, they host Co-ed and women's pinball leagues and tournaments which I recently joined. Such a great place to meet new people and just have a great time. ??
This place is amazing. So many pinball machines, newer and old. I don't know how many, but it was easily 50. Also have a few old arcade games, maybe 10 or so. Staff was super friendly. You pay by the hour and it is super affordable to get access to these machines. You will not find another place like this. I went with my 15 yet old and we had a blast, considering he did not even know what a pinball machine was before we went :) Go, you will not regret it.
Great place! I love all of the machines there. They're amazing. The first machine that caught my eye was Iron Maiden Pro Pinball Machine. My first time playing Maiden pinball machine. Black Knight (stern) was also a great one. Hope to come back!! BTW, the staff are also amazing!!
By no means am I a regular pinball player, maybe playing the occasional cabinet in the back of a bar or arcade. This place though... my girlfriend and I drove an hour to go here and we were immediately impressed by the amount of machines they have available. The staff excitedly greeted us and explained the pay-per-hour process. The place was full of people but I never felt like I couldn't get to any cabinet eventually, and you can simply play one of the other 60 machines while you wait. Highly recommend the
I've been into pinball for most of my life, but for some dumb reason only just made the hour drive to visit Pinball Gallery. Totally worth it! The owners are super nice and there are tons of pinball machines, arcade games, and gaming consoles to play. The facility is really nice, clean, and well maintained. There were a handful of games out of order, but that didn't matter because there were plenty of others to play which are all super well maintained and played great. The pricing structure is also very fai
Amazing place! A huge room of all the greater and even latest pinballs. You'll be here all day! Many times with a place this big you see many games that are out of order or running, but when you play them, they aren't working properly. Not this place. Bill and his employees keep all the machines well-maintained.
What a blast! So many pinball machines! All the latest/greatest machines there plus a whole bunch of older and classic machines. My wife and I played at least twelve different machines over our 2 hour stay. The owners were informative and accommodating for us newbies. This is going to be a regular stop for us despite being over an hour away - well worth the trip.
Don't make the same mistake I did and hesitate going here. If you have any interest in pinball or retro arcade cabinets, get here asap. This is hands down the best value for you to spend your entertainment dollars on. $10/ hour for near unlimited games is insane. The machines are very well maintained and frequently change, so go often. Pictures and descriptions don't do this hidden gem justice, you must be there to truly appreciate it's magic.
Well-run and very enjoyable! Although a little pricey, it's definitely cheaper than an old-timey arcade experience would have been. Lots of variety in machines to choose from, from ancient to modern pinball machines and classic arcade, almost all in good working order. Not too noisy or too hot or cold, either, and we saw something to keep everyone amused, including game consoles and board games for smaller and/or tired kids. Looks like a great place to come for a day trip!
Very good experience. Took my kid here for the 1st time. He loved it. Lady at the desk was welcoming and I got the sense that, above all else, they just want you to have a good time. Lot's of pinball machines at a very reasonable price for unlimited 1-hr play. Where was a place like this when I was growing up? It's here now. We're coming back.
Bill performed a complicated repair of my pinball machine. He was always on time and on point. What a pleasure to deal with. i also visited his physical store which is just amazing.
One of the best pinball locations in the country! Everything from early electromechanical to modern Sterns, classic William and Bally's to the latest Spooky Pinball games. A great tech staff keeps this 80+ game collection running great. Of note is the large collection of obscure Gotlieb Premier games you don't often (Bad Girls, Hollywood Heat, Deadly Weapon, Big House, Excalibur). Check their website or join their email list for upcoming tournaments and machine launch parties.
Amazing selection of well cared for machines, from vintage to brand new. Friendly staff and the prices are a steal for the size of the collection. A great local asset for pinball and arcade lovers!
Great value. Took my 10 year old son. We went across the street and brought our McDonald's lunch and ate and played pinball. They have tables so you can bring outside food in .The place is clean, the staff is nice. A great way for a father and son day without spending a ton of money. Can't say enough great things about this place. I think the owner is a KISS fan which me and my son are as well . LOVE IT!!!!
Coolest place on the mainline! Owners are really nice and they have a great selection of games to play! One hour goes by super quick here, so be sure to at least get two :)
Thoroughly enjoyed my time at this spot. While I didn't get a chance to play every single game, every game I did play was in perfect working order. Very friendly staff. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon.
2022 May 1 update:. Masks are optional and no longer required. Hand sanitizer is still liberally available. Awesome walk down memory lane. Older machines plus some of the newest ones out there. Tables for chess and board and card games. Clean. Plenty of parking. Flexible ways to play like hourly or all day passes. Friendly staff too. Highly recommended Accepts cash and electronic payment methods. Monthly tournaments and leagues are back too. Can't say enough positive things about this place
Surprisingly large place. 50 to 60 pinball machines plus about 15 arcade cabinets including a 60-in-1 arcade machine and some 4-player stuff. Retro video game consoles set up throughout the facility. Tables for board games as well. Great place for birthday parties off-hours. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Outstanding experience.
This is one of the best Pinball arcades I've ever been to anywhere. It has a fantastic selection that is well maintained and includes some of the latest, high end premium pinball machines as well. The owners are very caring and passionate about pinball and have done many great things over the years to help give back and preserve the hobby.
The best arcade I have been to in some time. Friendly staff, great assortment of games, clean, good atmosphere, good lighting, you can bring your own food and drink. Most arcades have an issue keeping their games working, but here that doesn't seem to be a problem. Would recommend them quickly.
Went there with a friend of mine on a Saturday afternoon. Excellent experience! The owners and staff were extraordinarily friendly, helpful, and clearly very passionate about their work. The atmosphere is clean, bright, fun, and very family friendly. The games are well maintained, plentiful, and have a great variety, plus they have monthly tournaments. I highly recommend this destination if you're in the area.
Great selection of pinball games across many decades. As of now the price is $8 for an hour of unlimited play or $20 for the full day. The machines are very well maintained (for comparison I've been to barcade and to pinball museum in NYC). There are a few that are pay to play, with the proceeds donated to charity. It's a great time! The location is in the inner corner of a shopping center, so you can't see the storefront from the road. The only other detail I can think of that's pretty important for peop
Great place. Some of the games need a little maintenance, (like lackluster bumper response) but for the most part, the games are well kept. Good layout and great prices. Lunch special during the week is $5 for two hours of unlimited play. I really like this place and plan to have many trips there.
SOOO many tables to choose from, and only one or two were down for maintenance. Well worth the 2 hour drive down for 4 hours of pinball for $25 / each. It was a bit hot in there but that is a lot of electronics in one building. Left with a super soft hoodie as well!
The best run arcade I have ever set foot in. 70+ pinball machines (hence the name), classic arcade games, consoles, and games change often throughout the year. The owners are the kindest family and the staff are so much fun!
We went for a Friday night date and had a blast! The woman there is VERY friendly and helpful, and they have an excellent selection of games - from pinball machines dating back to 1956 to Ms. Pacman and other arcade favorites! They have a clean, fun environment and a $5 lunch special where you can play for 2 hours for $5 and bring your lunch, so I will DEFINITELY be back! Thanks for a fun date night!
This place is great! I'm 48 yrs old and felt like a teenager again playing the same games I played back then. For the price I could have stayed there all day. Very friendly staff and machines in excellent working condition. I'll be there every weekend from now on.
Pinball gallery runs a great business. No need to bring quarters the machines are mainly on free play and entry is charged by the hour. Many games from the 1960s up to today. They also sell and service pinball machines which means the next time there may be different games to try out. I stopped by for a special Tuesday night open tournament not having played pinball in many years. I had a great time playing against other friendly competitors and was able to improve my pinball skills by just watching a few
The best arcade in the area for sure. For $8/hr you can play unlimited games including DanceDance Revolution which costs about $1 per play everywhere else. The machines are well maintained, and the owners are always grateful for the business. If you're lucky you may even get to meet their corgi, who is the mascot. They also have older gaming systems connected to tv's and vintage arcade games like Pac-Man. Rainy day fun for adults and kids!
Great place. 1 hour is simply not enough. On my very first visit I learned that they have far more machines than I ever imagined. The "$5 for 1 hour of play" lunch time special on weekdays is a great bargain!! My only complaint about this place is that it's not closer to my house. ??
Great place over 50+ pinball machines vintage, classic and modern in premium condition. All you can play for 8$ an hour. Also membership available so you can go and play anytime. Last there's a pinball competition every first Tuesday of the month with a cash grand prize depending on how many people are participating in the contest
Whether you like classic pinball with bells and bumpers or ultra modern machines with bonus games and video monitors, Pinball Gallery has your game. A great value at leas than $20 for two hours of play. Family owned and sometimes you may find Bally the corgi hanging out behind the counter.
The staff is incredibly kind, and the experience is unparalleled - never have I ever experienced a place where you can play so many machines in one place (new and vintage, so many genres). Truly a special place.
I visited pinball gallery for the first time today, and fell in love! This is the ultimate in arcade fun. Very clean atomsphere, good selection of games, and the staff was polite and friendly! I will come here EVERY single chance I get! Please get medieval madness on the floor though! That would be killer!
The hype is real. You pay per hour or for the whole day, and you get unlimited plays on their huge collection of pinball machines, along with some arcade, console, and board games. Everything is super laid back. You could easily spend like 5 hours here.
Excellent in every way. Many pins to play, a cute console area and even a pristine DDR 5th Mix kept me very busy for 2 hours, but I could have spent all day here. Plenty of seating for the hubby too while he waited for me to finish playing!
Fun place. I don't know anything else quite like it. I think it was $7 for an hour of all you can play pinball. If you're a bad pinball player (like me), it's totally worth it, but if you're good, you could probably squeeze an hour out of just a few quarters. I just realized note, that's privacy what they have their coins-only section. They also have a handful of other arcade and table games. I almost burned the whole hour on the X-Men arcade game (major throwback to my childhood).
Wonderful place, hidden at the moment but will definitely be around for a while! Thanks to everyone there! Great mix of classic and modern machines including the Flash, the Who's Tommy, Guardians of the Galaxy, Tron Legacy, and Iron Man. We will definitely be back!
I have been to Pinball Gallery twice. I adore pinball. I really liked the Scooby Doo, new machine. Very fun. I highly recommend if you're in the area, to stop and check it out.
Lots of games. Great range of games from old to new. One from 1956 even! My fav are the newer ones but it's fun to play the classics, too. Will definitely go back. Staff (or owners?) were nice and quick to work on machines that had issues. Very few were out of order (only saw one or two). Fun place!
Excellent and unique arcade. They have tons of pinball (many recent Stern pins!) arcade games, skeeball, consoles, and sell snacks and soda. A few pins are for sale. The staff is very friendly.
Went to the Pinball Gallery for the first time this past weekend by myself and had a blast! I haven't seen a collection of old and new pinball and arcade games like this in one place before. Pinball machines ranged from Spiderman, Iron Man & Tron to Cyclone & Pinbot. Plus arcade games like X-Men, shuffle bowling, and a cool basketball game. There was even an arcade machine at the front that had over 100 games on it. I loved playing the Plants vs Zombies pinball game. You can pay by the hour, or for th
ngl this place fire, plenty of rooms and machines
What a treasure! I can't believe I never heard about Pinball Gallery until recently. So many retro gaming systems, arcade games, and of course, pinball machines galore! There are even table games like Rockem Sockem robots and board games like Boggle and Candyland. Pinball Gallery is a great deal for a unique, fun filled night with friends. I can't wait to come back!
This place is fantastic. The machines are really well maintained and there is a good variety of new games, solid states and EMs. The price is fair. We had a lot of fun and highly recommend.
My friend and I had a blast. They have a huge variety of pinball machines, from new to old. The oldest one I saw had an analog score display, real bells for sounds, and to launch the ball, you had to manually push in a small arm to set the ball on the plunger. They also older video game consoles as well as a few retro multiplayer arcade games.
This was an awesome experience! I took my 12 year old son with me and he had a great time. Both old and new pinball machines, and a few old arcade games mixed in. Will definitely be back!
Nice people. Good value. Plenty of machines and all kept in excellent shape. We travel down from Allentown on a regular basis for an afternoon of flipping. Always worth the trip
Loved it. Staff was friendly everything was clean, and all machines worked great. Tons of selection, great price, and all the Nostalgia you can handle. We'll definitely be back.
Great place but I think I may have broken some of the machines since they keep asking me for my initials. I also keep hearing this random *POP* noise after a couple of minutes on a machine- hope everything is ok!!!
Went there today. Nice place and you can play as much as you want for 10 a hour. Plenty of machines to play. Will go back.
This is like walking back 30 years, they have all the old pinball machines, and even some video games, recently added an original asteroids machine. The owners are really nice, also a great unique place for kids birthday parties.
With the hourly rates, this place is great for playing a wide variety of pinball machines. If playing the silver ball makes you feel happy, come experience some pinball zen.
Best place for gaming in the Philadelphia area. Every kind of gaming you can imagine: pinball of course (most in great working condition), old and newer arcade machines, vintage and 90s/00s gaming consoles, and even boardgames.
Had a blast. My father took my brother and I there for my birthday. The most fun I ever had in years. So classic and iconic. Will most definitely come back.
Great Machines & Repair Men! They have a GREAT Selection of Pinball Machines and Arcade Games from the 80's. Especially The Ms. Pac-Man 60IN1 Machine. Everytime a Machine is SOLD They get a NEW Machine and start Restoring. They also have GREAT Prices for Games Two!
Best. Arcade. Anywhere! Terrific lineup of pinball machines from a wide time span, all well maintained, and there are LOTS of them! The owners are also very friendly.
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.
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. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
