Seattle Pinball Museum, Interactive gaming museum in Chinatown International District, Seattle, United States.
The Seattle Pinball Museum houses more than 50 playable pinball machines dating from the 1960s through contemporary releases, arranged chronologically to illustrate the evolution of gaming technology and design across several decades of recreational entertainment.
Originally established as a temporary exhibition through the Seattle Storefront initiative in 2010, the museum proved successful enough to become a permanent facility dedicated to preserving pinball heritage and educating visitors about the game's role in American entertainment history.
Seattle has developed into a recognized center for competitive pinball, with the museum supporting local tournaments and leagues that connect players from across the region and help maintain the city's active arcade and gaming community.
The museum operates Thursday through Monday from noon to 6 PM and charges admission between $20 and $23, which includes unlimited free play on all machines, with discounts available for children, seniors, first responders, and military personnel.
Visitors can play every machine in the collection without needing quarters or tokens, allowing spontaneous exploration of different eras and styles of pinball design while enjoying beverages from the onsite bar in a relaxed social setting.
