Extraball (Flippermuseum und Events)
About This Museum
Tucked away on Obachstrasse, Extraball isn't your typical Solothurn museum—it's a vibrant, buzzing sanctuary for the silver ball. The constant chorus of chimes, bumpers, and flipper clicks greets you at the door. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping directly into the golden age of arcades, where every machine has a story waiting to be played.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from classic electromechanical tables from the '60s with their charmingly simple gameplay to the dazzling digital monsters of the '90s. I'm particularly fond of their well-loved 'Medieval Madness' table; it's a local favourite that always draws a crowd. They even have some rare European models you won't see anywhere else.
Visitor Information
Don't just look—play! For a single entry fee, you get unlimited games on every single machine. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose an entire afternoon challenging friends or teaching the kids about a world before smartphones. Check their website for special tournament nights; that's when the real magic happens.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a straightforward, functional industrial hall that perfectly suits its purpose. From the outside, it’s unassuming, but inside, the dark room erupts with neon and the fantastic glow of dozens of backglasses.
