Pinball is the perfect hands-on activity for the entire family! Best of all, pinball brings science, technology, engineering and math to life in a real world setting. It's also social, challenging, addictive and endlessly entertaining. With machines from every era, players of all ages and skill levels have plenty to choose from. Start with the charming bells and chimes of vintage electromechanical games and play your way through pinball history. You’ll find games based on comic strips, TV shows, movies and rock bands — plus original concept designs.
Stay and play for as long as you like. There’s no need to cut the fun short if you get hungry. Our mezzanine level snack bar dishes out a variety of tempting boardwalk treats with a Vermont twist. There’s something for everyone — from root beer floats made with local ice cream to organic nachos with homemade cheese sauce. We also serve Vermont craft beer, hard cider and wine as well as specialty nonalcoholic beverages. Refuel and rehydrate while you watch the action downstairs or challenge yourself to a retro game in our snack bar. We have vintage rifle games, shuffle bowlers, video tables and more -- all set to Free Play!
