#2If you're nearby, I highly recommend going to California Extreme at least once in your life. There's a great collection of old Pinball and Arcade games you can play for a nominal weekend charge. It's always filled with knowledgeable folks that are excited to see their games in play. You'll find a larger selection from a variety of local hobbyists.
Sadly, I've since moved from the area, but always think back on some great times there.

Further afield, but may I also recommend the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas and the smaller but also great Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ.

#4What serendipity; my wife and I are visiting the area and looking for things to do, and recently developed an interest in pinball (via AtGames virtual pinball). Thank you for posting!

#6Oh dude, looks like they have Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure! This is the pinball machine! I've wanted to play it again for a long time. It had really crisp sound effects for its time, the plunger is a pistol grip you pull the trigger on (with gunshot sound effect!), and intermission games where you punch people. Pretty friggin' awesome. I'm so glad someone still has one running, and I think I'll be visiting this place rather soon.

#7I lived a few blocks from here for years. So I can vouch. The museum is amazing. It's a time capsule.

#8I'm glad this exists but at $22 admission I don't think you're going to attract anyone but hardcore pinball lovers and maybe the odd person trying it out as a novelty once and then never returning. Pinball for most people is not an all day activity so an hourly rate seems like it would be a better fit.

#9Relatedly, there's a new drama out about the history of pinball: https://pinballfilm.com/
It's good!

#10The coin operated machine museum on Fisherman's Warf is also quite cool! They also have free admission, but you can play all of the games.
