I visited "Classic arcade Pinball Museum" today, in Downtown Chattanooga TN today. They just opened a few days ago. Great place! Over 35 machines well maintained and playing great, and some rare titles including Hercules, Dominoes pizza, and Super Mario Mushroom world. Also an assortment of EMs and arcade machines. Other titles included TAF, Road Show, Earthshaker, STTNG, Getaway, and several newer Sterns.

Reasonably priced at $8 for all day free play for adults, they are adding more machines and may adopt a per hour cost in the coming weeks per the owner. David Alverton has many years experience in the hobby. Along with working as a tech in an arcade for years, he also has an engineering degree. Discussing some of his project games hes brought back to life, Dave seems to be very knowledgeable about the hobby and a great guy to boot!

Lots of great restaurants and entertainment in the area, worth a stop if you're in the area.

Awesome! I added this to the map. Please add any games to the listed 18 as I couldn't recognize everything from the photos.

Thanks jake35 for the kind review! It was great to meet you.

We are still in a soft opening phase. The grand opening will be coming soon. The price above is for a limited time while we are working through some of the games and adding new games and exhibits. We are also considering adding an hourly rate as you mentioned above.

If you want to see a complete list of pinball games available, you can view them in my personal collection for now. I'll be creating a new business profile on Pinside soon.

Please come back and visit us again.

Thanks,
Dave

They have a nice group of games and lots to do within walking distance there.

Nice to see a local pinhead. I'm just south of you a few miles in Cleveland. Do you do all your own repairs including soldering boards?
