Appalachian Pinball Museum

We wanted something different to do. Well, this is it! All ages will enjoy! You can see the inside of one of the machines right at you walk in, even if you don't like that kind of thing, it's pretty impressive. They let us walk around to check it out first, how nice! It's a flat fee for a wristband that you can play literally ALL DAY!!!! AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! Just walk up to the machine and start playing. There's a small place to eat with a couple of tables, and for adults, they also serve beer. It's clean, they are super friendly and answered all of our questions too. It's easy to pass up, but it's on the corner of Main Street & 6th Avenue.

Great fun is right inside! We went in for a "gander" then said, what the heck, one or two quick pinball games would be fun - and we were exhausted after an hour! It seemed like there was always something cool to try around the corner! The staff were friendly and attentive. The flat rate was a great value and the selection/variety of (working) games were superb. I wish we lived closer!

This was so much fun for our entire family. These were the pinball machines and video games my wife and I grew up with. Our kids of age 21 & 24 also thought it was one of the coolest things we did during this entire vacation. If you want to play the machines, it is a one time fee of $13 each person but we'll worth it. We played for a couple hours, went to have dinner then came back and played until they closed at 9pm. Highly recommend and would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again.

Such a fun place! We are big fans of the Asheville location so we decided to go here. It is really fun! Lots of cool pinball games. However I enjoyed the arcade games the best. Burger time is my favorite. Will be back soon. Wish they would open another location in Spartanburg. But definitely a five star place!

I am relatively new to the Western North Carolina area and was in the area on a rainy weekend to scout some recommended places to visit. This one caught my eye. I drove to Hendersonville specifically to visit this "museum". Parking was hard to find, but I finally found a spot. I was unable to get my card to be read by the parking machines. I was finally able to use the parking system by sending a text. I was close to leaving due to the horrible parking system. Glad I stayed so I could get to the museum. I purchase 2 hours of parking and headed in.
Wow. I could have stayed here all day. I did a writeup on the pinball machines I played (https://djzadventures.wordpress.com). My favorite was Theater of Magic. I could have played that for hours. All the pins were in great condition. They even have video games. Mr. Do is my all time favorite so I gave that one a go. Damn those little guys.
I would have stayed longer, but I didn't want to be extorted for parking. Kudos to the folks who runt his place. None of the pins had games left unfinished. All the ones I played were in good condition. The selection was great. Too bad, the Hendersonville city s doing this paid parking just to make a few bucks. They serve snacks, drinks and beer but I had limited time so I did not try anything. Beer selection looks great.
Highly recommended and plan on many hours, especially if you can find free parking.

Great variety of pinball games from many decades and genres. Selection of 80's arcade games as well. One flat rate for endless play. Was fun and will be back again.

Good games. Good music. Good beers too!

This is a total bargain for an afternoon or evening of fun. Great prices. Classic video games and pinball. Fun for us and our kids.

The guys running it are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Patient and understanding too (like when my boy knocked my beer all over the floor).

Over 70 games for one flat rate. Great variety of pinball games. Staff was great. Loved the games. Did not disappoint!

This place is AWESOME!! It's hard to find things to do that children ages 4 to 13 will enjoy but this is the place!! There are two rooms...one dark for the full retro arcade experience and the other bright, where you can fully appreciate these machines in all of their glory. The variety of games is broad and no one has trouble finding several favorites. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing place to spend the day with or without your kids!!! So much fun packed in one place!

For those of you that aren't familiar with the Asheville Pinball Museum across from the Latta Arcade Building, this is their sister location.
We trekked out on a rainy Saturday and scored parking right in front of the building. There are both Public Lots nearby and plenty of Street Parking. The signage for the entrance is fairly small so look for the Bright Yellow Awning!

The inside is truly Grand with a capital G. The space opens right up and feels like an old hotel lobby/mezzanine. I did ask about the building and where you check in/pay was what used to be the concession stand for a movie theater. The main game room is actually where the theater was at one time.

$30 for myself and my two boys got us wristbands for all day play. They do sell sodas and snacks like Asheville but no canned beer yet. Hopefully soon they said.

There's a nice mix of old arcade games and pinball machines from different eras. I was happy to the The Incredible Hulk machine from the 70's - it did however remind me however how far along pinball has come, as it was like watching paint dry! There were tons of really good ones - Star Wars, Fish Tales, WWF Anniversary, and TMNT. My personal favorites were Tales from the Crypt and of course Twilight Zone (which I used to own/have in my mancave) - it's truly epic! Yes, I'm a pinball nerd - I can play for hours and stop a ball on the tip of a flipper.

We saw plenty of families with the same idea for a rainy day - but still wasn't crowded. There's only two main rules - 1) if you start a game, finish the game 2) if your ball gets stuck, tell someone. Pretty straight forward. There are also plenty of stools for the kiddos to sit while they play.

Love this place - and will only love it more when I can drink an ice cold Shiva - hehe - just turn up the volume on the Jukebox a little and it's all good!!!!
