Asheville Pinball Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Battle Square in downtown Asheville, this place is less a quiet hall of artifacts and more of a vibrant, noisy playground. The air hums with the distinct sounds of silver balls ricocheting, vintage sound effects, and the collective cheers of players. It’s a living archive where you can actually pull the plunger on history, from electromechanical relics of the 1960s to flashing modern titles based on bands like Metallica and The Addams Family. Grab a local beer or a soda and settle in; this is interactive history at its most fun.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from classic electromechanical tables like 'Gottlieb's Central Park' to pop culture blockbusters like 'The Addams Family' and 'Medieval Madness.' Don't miss the row of classic video game cabinets either, featuring Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, offering a perfect chaser to the pinball main event.
Visitor Information
It's a flat fee for all-day play, so you can come and go as you please. They've got beer and soft drinks available to keep you refreshed while you chase high scores. Just be prepared for a crowd on weekends—it's a popular spot.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming brick building that fits right into the historic downtown Asheville cityscape, the interior is all low lights, neon signs, and carpeted floors designed for maximum nostalgia.
