- Irna7 contributionsI felt like the Pinball Wizard!My hubby is a pinball fan & I am not. He had lots of fun and I "unexpectedly" spent 3hrs of fun playing as many machines as I could. I was hooked! We played some very old pinball machines (WOW)! We paid an entrance fee (very reasonable) and all the machines were free to play, no additional coins to add in! You gotta check it out!Visited February 2023Written March 18, 2023
- ERBristol, United Kingdom20 contributionsFun fun fun!2 hours well spent to take a break from the horrible weather! They have a wide range of pinball machines available and it’s impossible to get bored. It does get rather busy so try to go when it first opens.Visited April 2023Traveled soloWritten April 9, 2023
- Darren FCardiff, United Kingdom27 contributionsGreat day outExcellent day out could spend hours there playing all the machines . Huge selection old to new , great seeing kids playing the old games . Can get quite warm on hot daysVisited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 3, 2023
- Mike B11 contributionsGreat fun!Fantastic fun. Lots of pinball machines so lots of choice and availability. We played for a couple of hours and there were plenty of games where you can play against someone else including some arcade games which made it even more enjoyable.Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 4, 2023
- Mark TGrimsby, United Kingdom192 contributionsBack to the FutureWow, me nd my wife spent hours in here. With the arcade games it was like being transported back to when we were teenagers playing those same games in the arcades on Cleethorpes front. Donkey Kong my absolute favourite. And the variety and age of some of the pinball's are a wonder, some going back to the 1940's. Absolutely loved this place and is a must visitVisited July 2023Written August 6, 2023
- mackie8Basingstoke, United Kingdom15 contributionsGreat fun and amazing valueWe had a fantastic time! We have never seen so many pinball machines in one place in our lives and all free to play once you have paid the (very reasonable) entrance fee. Some other vintage games machines too. Note the opening time of 16:00. A brilliant fun time. We will go again.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 2, 2023
- Sean MBoldon, United Kingdom47 contributionsA must visit when in Budapest!An absolute must! Such a funky little hideaway with soo much packing into a cosy little den. Upon arrival the host took our money and provided a wrist band then off we went. All machines were free to play with a small admission cost. There 5 rooms which are packed with old style retro arcade machines such as pinball, pacman, tetris and many more. Theres no time limit in the venue so you could stay all day if you like! Brilliant little arcade on a rainy day pr just reliving your childhood.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 21, 2023
- ieuan14 contributionsAmazing value, not just for gamers! Go!Amazing value for money. Cost about £8 each as under 26 and could have spent hours there. Everything is free to play once you're in and there is plenty to choose from, not just pinball - guitar hero, pac-man, mario, racing/shooting games. Also great for those who aren't necsssarily 'gamers'. Can't recommend this place enough and dying to go back!!Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 22, 2023
- James M2 contributionsSome of the most fun you’ll have in BudapestWhile this museum is a little out of the city centre, it really is worth making the trip out to visit. For an admission of around £10 you can play as many retro arcade games and pinball machines as you like. They give you a wristband so your entry is valid for the entire day meaning you can leave and come back without having to pay extra. While I think the addition of a bar would be amazing, the lack of a proper bar doesn’t really take away from the experience. If you think this sounds interesting, please visit, you won’t be disappointed!Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 1, 2023
- Sam ADoha, Qatar97 contributionsMake time for this experience!We’ve seen some spectacular places this holiday, and while all of the rich culture and history abounds, the Flippermúzeum sits near the top of the list for pure fun, amusement, and participation. Nearly all of the machines (140+) are playable. Such a fun stop to make while in Budapest!Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 31, 2023

There's so much to do in Budapest, I can't put this at the top of the list if you're only there for a few days (unless pinball is your obsession). If you're there for more than a few days though, do head over there for a really fun time. Lots of super fun pinball machines, but also several other great arcade games. It was awesome to pay a flat fee and not have to worry about how much each game was. The fee is for the day, so you can go in and stay as long as you like, although we were kind of done after about 3 hours. I went there with my 12 year old daughter, and we both had an awesome time. If I have one criticism, I'd say they can have a better food setup. It was hard to tell what they had, and the setup for food was a bit odd. Would've been great to have some fries or pizza. Before you head there, make sure they're open. They're closed two days a week. On other days they open in the afternoon, but stay open until very late. If you're looking to make a day of it, there are several vintage shops in the area, some restaurants, and an awesome local bakery called Eliza Pekseg.

AMAZING and not to be missed. I took my teens along to show them my "gaming" past life and a great time was had by all. It is mind boggling all the machines here and not just pinball but all the classics. Honestly it is a brilliant way to spend a few hours. It does get loud so if you have anyone in your group that is sensitive to noise then I suggest they bring along some noise cancelling headphones or ear buds. The gentleman at the cash desk is super friendly and kind. AND if by chance you really have time to kill then you can re-enter as many times as you like that day. If you have kids I highly recommend going when it opens at 4 as it does get busier later on. Hats off the the owner who has done a great job. Once you pay admission you don't need coins of tokens for the machines just rock up and play. We even got t-shirts! (this is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from Westend Shopping Mall)

Really awesome place. Rows and rows of pinball and arcade games all in working order and free to play after entry fee from many places and decades. Only one downside was that it is cash only entry and we had to walk to find a cash machine.

This was our 2nd time to visit. We took two young adults with us this time and we all had fun. We each had favorite games that we played alone and there were several 2 person games that we played together...over and over. A fun hands on attraction that was especially great during a cold and wet evening. It was near enough to West End Mall that we parked there, walked to the museum, and then walked back to the mall to eat supper.

This pinball museum is one of the best things to do in Budapest. You pay one fee to get in and you can play all the machines for free as long as you like. Even if you aren't into pinball you'll be surprised at how much time passes after you've tried playing just a couple of different games. If you are into pinball you might never leave, but luckily they give you a wristband on the way in so you can pop out to get some food and then come back the same day to get some more games in.

We had such a good time here. The place is much bigger than it looks from outside with so many different machines to play on. It’s not just all pinball ones too. It was busy when we went (Friday at 4pm) but there was still always something free to play on. We stayed 2 hours and could easily have stayed longer but had to leave for our flight home. We booked in advance via their website but it wasn’t for a specific time so I don’t think that was necessary. At 4200HUF (around £10) each it is excellent value for money. They don’t open Monday or Tuesdays so bear that in mind if you’re planning it in.

Stunning collection of well maintained Pinball Machines. All games set to free play and you pay one fee for entrance. There are also classic video games. Taken there as a birthday treat I’ll never forget.

Bloody loved this, had to be one of my favourite evenings from the holiday, cheap entrance and you can surprisingly get very carried away with time playing so many machines from the last 100 years as well as other arcade and table games. The whole venue is bright, colourful and very cool looking. Would 100% recommend for all ages.
Would make such a cool place to go on a date ❤️

Hi, have looked at some reviews and am heading to Budapest in June so would be very interested in paying a visit!
Just wondering if there are any other arcade games, aside from pinball machines, and if you serve drink? Would be nice to have a pint if we were here for awhile. Thanks!
