The Pennsylvania Coin Operated Gaming Hall of Fame and Museum

This is an absolute must-​visit if you like pinball or arcade machines. $ 20 per person will get you 2 hours of gaming, and $ 40 will get you an all day pass. There are over 400 machines (over half are pinball), all set to free play. With older machines, it’s not unusual to see a fair number out of order, but this place keeps almost all of them in perfect working order. The selection of pinball games in particular is fantastic, ranging from the 1940s to today (I think the newest one was from the Transformers movie). They have just about any old arcade game you can think of, even some obscure ones like Journey (a terrible game about the band Journey). Clean restrooms are an extra plus, since they’re located in something of a small strip mall.
I was there on a Saturday evening, and it wasn’t crowded at all. I’d really like to see this place make enough money to succeed, but at the same time, it’s nice not to have to fight a crowd or wait in line for machines. If you’re looking for a good way to kill an afternoon, this is the spot.

This is possibly the greatest place anywhere ever. I really love pinball. And arcade games. And noisy, shiny things. This place exceeded my high expectations by a long shot. They have tons of 70’s and 80’s games to suit your fancy. Plus they have tons of older machines before everything was computerized and they are in perfect working order. They have arcade games like pac man, donkey kong, dig dug, burger time, and lots of other 80’s favorites. They have driving games, shooting games, and tons of cool stuff you won’t see anywhere else. We bought two hours of play time for $ 20 a piece (what a bargain!) and the time flew by. What a fun afternoon! This place is gigantic so even though we didn’t have the place all to ourselves it wasn’t difficult to find something awesome to play. So many pinball machines! So many sights and sounds overwhelming your senses! And I loved it! If old school games are at all your thing, you’ve got to check this place out.

Went today with my son and his friend. Hands down the staff and facilities were awesome!!!
Walking down memory lane with my boy was great. Highly suggest any to do this!!!

Every game I played growing up in the 70s and 80s is here in perfect working condition and so much more. $ 20 for 2 hours of unlimited free play is a great deal. Such great fun. Highly recommended!

I grew up playing pinball machines. A long time ago, back when the machines were simpler and straightforward. Some only took a nickel. A single nickel. Yeah, that long ago. I wasted many hours and most of my treasured coin collections as a kid standing over these addicting creations. So when I heard about this place being a hall of fame and a museum (as well as offering as much play as you can handle) I had to get here. And I’m so glad I did!
Sure enough they have some of the machines of my youth. The old electro-​mechanical (non solid-​state) ones. They had a huge wall FULL of those ancient beauties, all available to play. And play I did! For $ 20 you get two full hours to satisfy that kid inside you and flip and twist and nudge till your hearts content! It was great. It’s a little off the beaten path in an old strip mall shopping area, not in a warehouse type building like you might imagine. But it is filled with over 400 machines.
If your taste runs to the newer glitzy pinball machines they have those. If you want to play target shooting or driving games they have those. If you’re craving some vintage Pac Man or Sega or Atari classics? Yep, they’re here. A museum and hall of fame indeed!!! No tokens, no hassle. Step right up and hit play and get your flipper fingers limbered up, you’re in for the fastest 2 hours you’ve likely had in a long time. Or opt for the all day play ticket. Now THAT would be an indulgence. Not sure when you’d come up for air. They may not have everything you’re looking for but its certain they have something from every era.
I asked if they had the Guns N Roses pinball machine but was told they sold it because the owner hates Guns N Roses so he dumped the machine. But they have the AC/​DC machine. Tons of fun. In fact, I probably haven’t had that much fun for $ 20 since the days of 50 cent drafts and 25 cent wings. (Yes, there was such a time!) So come. Try it. Relive your youth. See how pinball has grown up over the last 50 years. You’ll be amazed.

Nostalgia! Fun! Lots of old games and new ones. Pinball and video games galore… all set on free play. 2 hours for $ 20 per person or $ 40 for the family. Highly recommended way to pass a couple hours with the kids!

What if a place had every game? I mean every game?
What if they all worked?
What if they were all in great condition?
What if they were all in a clean safe environment?
…and what if you could play all you wanted for a flat fee?
Great service … great owners … great value to the world … every bit as good as fun spot in NH
Will be back many times … road trip worthy

This place is AMAZING! Great for families, people visiting from out of town, or just a rainy Pittsburgh day. $ 20 gets you all the play you can squeeze into 2 hours, and that’s a lot. Personally, I am not your typical pinball/​arcade gamer and I had a BLAST. Really informative and enthusiastic staff, you can feel their passion. If your a child of the 70’s or 80’s this place is MUST!!!

I think it’s safe to say when most of us hear/​see the word «Museum» the phrase «look but don’t touch» comes to mind. That is absolutely not the case at the Pennsylvania Coin Operated Gaming Hall of Fame Museum. The entire point of this museum is to relive your youth and play to your heart’s desire. Your inner 13-​year-​old will be doing backflips upon entering a domain that houses over 400 vintage pinball and arcade games. Photos do not do this place justice. I spent the first 15 minutes walking around and attempting to take it in before wading into a gaming frenzy.
Your ears will be humming with the clicks and chimes of the classic electro-​magnetic pinball units. Your eyes will pop taking in all the classic arcade units. Everything is set to free play. If you played it in your youth, odds are high that they have it here. Not only vintage units but new high-​end pinball machines like Iron Man, AC/​DC and The Avengers; not roped off to admire but right along side all the other machines, beckoning you to play.
My friend and I made a 3 hour drive to visit this place and I will most certainly return. The Coin-​Op HOF & Museum exceeded all of my expectations. They have multiple admission packages to cover a couple hours to an all-​day gaming bonanza.
One word of warning, bring ibuprofen. Your previously mentioned inner 13-​year-​old will be jumping for joy but your ³⁰⁄₄₀ something year old wrists are going to feel the effects of 8+ hours of gaming!
