    For $20 you can play all you want for the day! You can even leave to go eat and then come back. Great deal. And they now have 2 machines in the back where you can play 100s of non-pinball games!

    Fun place even with young kids. There are plenty of pinball machine choices from the mid 70s to more recent editions. At ~$15 per hour it can get pricey for a whole family but it's an entertaining and unusual way to show kids a unique part of gaming history.

    Great place for kids, adults (provided you are into pinball gaming) and pinball aficionados. Pinball is making a big comeback nowadays, after years of certain neglect in favor of first the early primitive arcade video games and then - seemingly in an irrevocable fashion - at-home console or computer games. Now, as it is very often the case with all things good, pinball is becoming a trend, and not even in a nostalgic or retro way. Modern Pinball NYC Arcade features about 30 pinball machines of every persuasion, some of them at least three or four decades old, judging on their names, from Beatlemania to Addams Family, and from Shrek to KISS, among many others. Upon your check-in you are given a yellow bracelet that allows you to leave and come back at your volition, any time until midnight. Gaming is unlimited (which - for me personally - takes some excitement off) and there are step stools provided for the kids of younger age, to facilitate easy gaming. Food or drinks are not allowed to be brought in. Apparently, there is also a Museum of Modern Pinball, but it looks like the staff-led demonstrations of pinball machines inner workings should be booked in advance. Tickets are available on-line, the current sale rate is $18.71.

    We found this place by accident and it left us kinda disappointed - it's normal tourist trap, but we realized too late. You don't use coins for the pinball machines, instead you have to pay around $25 per person as an entrance fee for whole day, so if you are not planning to stay there for few hours or come back, it's not worth the money if you are just passing by, it's worth it for pinball enthusiasts or locals that can come back during the day any time they want.

    Prices start at a low $12 per hour for adults and you get unlimited free play of all the machines! Every machine I tried was I great working order, which is impressive considering pinball machines are very high maintenance. They have many great machines including my favorite, Terminator 2!

    Amazing spot. Great machines and good selection. Prices are excellent too. Definitely drop in if you're in the area or just want to get some games in.

    Cool place. Not huge however they do pack in 30 or so machines. No quarters need, multiplayer is enabled, and you pay by the hour. We did two hours which was about the order amount of time. Even found street parking as block away. Will go back

    Great time! Introduced my daughter to pinball and we spent hours and hours playing every machine they had. They have retro 1970's classics all the way up to games made within a year or so. The way they do the pass, where you can come and go as you please, is very nice. We played, went for lunch, came back for more games until it was time to go home.

    Awesome little place where I could spend all night. Really good selection of machines, only thing I could wish for would be the Jurassic park one but that's rare so understandable that it's absent. Well worth the admission fee.

    I loved this place! The people were great and it was so much fun. They have a lot of pinball machines and you can play for hours. It was nostalgic to pinball like it used to be back in the day. Great place to chill and meet up with friends to hang out. Can’t wait to go back!

    Nice selection. A bit pricey but great if you are going to spend a while.

  • 5/5 Nathan M. 6 years ago on Google
    Carefully curated pinball machines on free play. A good selection of machines from the 60s to Modern day. Hourly admission is reasonable, especially when spread over multiple hours. This place is for the true pinball enthusiast. Wish they sold food and drink here, but still worth the stop.
