Pinball Perfection is an awesome place. I was there for three hours and had a blast. There are so many excellent games from the history of pinball, I hardly played a game twice. New games and old games that play well from being maintained and players being respectful, hopefully. Everyone should check it out. You can just go for yourself! (~);}

Total hidden gem in Pittsburgh's North Hills area. Great for date night or pinball enthusiasts... or both! It's basically just a giant warehouse full of pinball machines and in some spots it's pretty dimly lit, which gives it this deliciously creepy kind of feeling. The basement is like a pinball graveyard; I think the oldest machine I found down there was from 1939. They have some other games, too, including skee-ball! Definitely check them out.

Such a great hidden jewel. Over 200 pinball and arcade games. It is a working museum. Play by the hour for a fee. At the time of this post it was 12.00 per hour per person and our party of 3 played for an hour. Fair price for a fun time. Note that there was a small fee to use a credit card vs.cash.

For anyone who loves pinball and arcade games, particularly vintage machines, I definitely recommend visiting this place. I got to play games I've only heard of or read about as well as some I've played in my childhood. The owner asks caution on the flippers which I found reasonable given what it takes to maintain these machines, some of which are irreplaceable.

If the doors are locked call the museum. If they are working on another floor they will come and open up for you! Owner was very friendly. We had fun. Very impressive collection, 301 total machines.

A great selection of classic pinball with some modern machines on the floor too. I enjoyed that each game had a card with notes on the condition of the game that marked any issues with the game; lights out, ramps broken, or A-OK! They don’t leave the power on for the whole place. Understandable if you consider the power cost. Just tell them what game you want to play and they will gladly turn it on. It costs $12/hour to play during the week when we visited. An extra fee if you pay with credit card. Bring cash. The atmosphere is the only thing we thought needed improvement. No air conditioning. So it will be hot inside during the day if it’s hot outside. It’s an old-no-frills-building with dingy walls and some cluttered areas with machines, equipment and even a band setup. The bathroom is needing updated. Overall it’s a good place to experience some great games. Just be prepared for adjusting to the atmosphere if needed.

Such a fun place! I thought my sons might be bored but the whole family enjoyed our first visit here. They have so many pinball machines from so many eras. The Star Wars collection was impressive. I loved the action figures and collectibles that were around the games too. It is worth any pinball lovers time to plan a trip.

Would give -5 if that were possible. Should’ve read reviews before going. The multiple unrelated negative scathing bad reviews speak volumes. Possibly worst pinball experience ever. Stopped by, and was immediately given attitude that I didn’t bring a group “where’s your people? He asked if I was interested in anything in particular, and since he asked me I inquired if he had a Marble Madness? “I do, but I won’t let you see it or play it”. Ok…You asked me. Weird. Also rude. I would’ve considered buying it from him; I am looking for one. $15 to play. Most games are turned off, at least half. I ask about the unpowered games (You are open, you charged me $15, you claim to have 300 games available for play, are they actually available, or are they like Marble Madness?) He responds very condescendingly, “electricity costs $” I wanted to respond “so does talking to you. It actually costs $15, but only gets me maybe 1/4-1/2 of the 300 games, since you won’t turn the rest on unless I go find you and pester you” I find some games to play. Gorf and Banzai Run are working fine. He has a dog there who is playfully fetching a tennisball or similar that he is throwing. I like dogs. No worries. I settle in to enjoy a game of Adams Family, although the electric chair sensor doesn’t find the pinball sometimes. He immediately hits me with the ball he is supposedly throwing for the dog. In the middle of my game. That I paid for. I found it disrespectful that although it is just me, him, and his little dog in this giant warehouse full of games, he has to throw the ball for the dog right near me. I let it go. I continue to play. He then hits me again. At this point I politely walk over and say “I’m done. I need my $15 back and I will see you later.” He responds rudely, saying I pissed him off, and I have to ask multiple times for my refund. I tell him “I gave you a shot, and you blew it. Maybe I will come back another time.” I have decided that not only will that never happen, but that I will tell all my pinball and arcade enthusiast friends in person and on every platform to avoid him like the Plague. Go to Vellum Distilling, Pinball PA, etc. many other venues in Pittsburgh. The only thing that is “perfection” at Pinball Perfection is his terrible attitude and horrible customer relations. There’s a saying. When someone shows you they are crazy, sociopathic, or a jerk, believe them. Take your $ to someone who appreciates you.

This place was a fantastic stop for a break during a road trip! It was $12 for an hour and though most of the games are older, they are in such great condition! There are a few newer games, but honestly I had a blast playing the older ones. Not all the games were turned on, but the guy was willing to turn on anything I wanted to play. Treat these beautiful games with kindness and respect them for what they are. 10/10 highly recommend! I hope to make it back some day! I would recommend trying to have exact cash if possible. And just keep in mind it’s an older warehouse and older games. A real gem! Hard to find this sort of place!

Visited first time yesterday from Michigan. Spent an hour with a constant smile. This place is just great. Many pins to play including the classics. Addams Family, Circus Voltaire, Funhouse, Creature from Black Lagoon, etc., etc. they even have a Wizard of Oz, but that was being repaired. I paid $12/hr and was worth every penny. When I’m in Pittsburgh again, I’ll always visit. Great place. Thank you for a fun time!!!!

Lots and lots and lots of games. Most in perfect condition it seems. But those that aren't have tags saying what's wrong (lights or sounds don't work, small things like that). Really enjoyed our time there. On top of that, very reasonably priced and seems to be run by a great group of people. Really really happy we stopped by!

Not much to look at from the outside but if you enjoy old pinball and some arcade games, this place is a blast. $15 admission on Sat but you can play all day. Jeff was a great host. Showed us every aisle and explained the rules (just finish your game).

If you like pinball then this place should absolutely be on your list of places to visit. I would call it the "Jerry's Records" of pinball for Pittsburgh. There are hundreds of machines here set up for you to play. There are also a smaller number of arcade machines and other amusement type machines. They're fun but pinball is the main attraction. They have a handful of new machines and many machines that you'll see on best of lists. It is an old dingy building with tools and open pinball machines everywhere and that is part of it's charm. There are volunteers and workers working on pinball machines which are in need of repair and maintenance. It's just a really cool unique place. I definitely plan on going somewhat regularly.

As long as you understand what to expect, you're going to have a lot of fun here. It's a working museum and is maintained mainly by volunteers, so not everything is going to be working on a given day. However, there's an unbelievable amount of things to do here -- not only do they have a ton of pinball machines (mostly retro but a few newer ones), but there are lots of other arcade games too -- vintage bowling, air hockey, skeeball, and bar games to name a few. Every time I go for a three hour open play session I only have time to play a small fraction of everything that's available. This place is a gem.

If you like vintage games (especially pinball), and don't care about creature comforts, you should really enjoy this place. It's not fancy. It's a warehouse packed to the gills with games and other vintage items. It's friggin awesome. They don't keep everything on for obvious reasons, but they're happy to fire up any games that you want to play. It's chilly in the winter, so dress appropriately. 12 bucks an hour, which is a bargain considering what it costs to acquire and maintain those machines.

Fantastic spot! Only draw back is some of the games are not fully functional but They are labeled and let you know that up front

Hundreds of awesome pinball machines from 40's - 70s downstairs and 80's - current upstairs (and several arcade games too). All on free play. Friday $15 7PM till 10PM and M-S 12-5.

Huge collection of pinball machines from the 1920s through current day. Also arcade games from all eras. A great place to spend a Friday evening. All the machines are on free play. Hard to decide what to play first!

Came here from out of state and had a good time. Lots of pinball machines from all different eras to play. While I understand how much work is involved in keeping pinball machines in good condition, it was a bit disappointing to see the amount of machines either not working or ones that were turned on but had some kind of playing field issue. There also appeared to be no heat in use during late December so the whole place was pretty cold. Overall this place is worth a visit but there are better pinball spots in the area.

Lots of great pinball machines! Classic, new, and even a few other games like skeet ball, air hockey, Ms. Pac-man and a few others. A number of the machines needed to be repaired, but they were actively repairing some while we were there, so I know they do work on them frequently. It is a bit of a maze to get around. Owner was very friendly even when I brought 5 elementary aged kids with me.

An absolutely priceless experience! The tour is both genuine and entertaining. Friendly place too, the machines are diverse and well cared for. The atmosphere is unique. The cost is fair.

We went here to celebrate a few birthdays and it was the perfect place. We had adults and children with us. My teenager had a blast as did my two year old. The games was vintage. They had all kinds of games not just pinball. Although they have over 300 pinball machines they have lots of other lil games. Our family had fun. Prices are good!!
