Flipper Museum Budapest

Relive the retro atmosphere of arcades at one of Budapest’s most popular interactive exhibitions! The Flipper Museum is Europe’s largest permanently open pinball exhibition, where visitors can try out over 150 types of arcade machines.

Flipper Museum
Flashing lights, clattering bumpers, and thousands of spectacular sound effects: once you get hooked on the world of pinball machines, you’ll always want to return. This is the case with the Flipper Museum, where most guests keep coming back. The exhibition showcases around 160 arcade machines, ranging from the 1947 Humpty Dumpty to modern editions. A 2-3 hour visit is hardly enough to experience it all.

What people are saying:
✓ “Over 100 pinball machines, 99% of them are functional. You can use a day ticket, and if you’re hungry, you can skip over to the nearby Westend.”
✓ “We paid a fixed price and could try out every machine unlimited. There are so many pinball and arcade machines, you’d need more than one day to try them all.”
✓ “Incredible, rich collection.”

Useful information:
One of the main attractions of the Flipper Museum is that with the entry ticket, you can try any arcade machine. There’s no need to change coins or toss change into the machines—you can start the games as many times as you like.
Dogs are not allowed due to the strong light and sound effects, but even very young children, from about 3-4 years old, will enjoy themselves at the museum. The museum provides performers so that the little ones can easily reach the games.

Who is it recommended for?
Although arcades were at their peak in the 1980s and 90s, the Flipper Museum is a time capsule worth experiencing at any age. Despite being called a museum, it offers an interactive experience with colorful lights and sounds, making it a program where people of all ages can find enjoyment.
It’s also a great spot for a date if you’re looking for something beyond the usual coffee and movie routine. The arcade machines themselves provide plenty of conversation starters, and playing together has been proven to strengthen relationships.

Buffet
If you get thirsty between games, you can buy unique drinks at the Flipper Museum’s buffet. There are also light snacks, pastries, and sweets available at the American-style counter.

Why is pinball so great?

  • It relieves stress
    While playing pinball, you quickly forget about your everyday worries. It’s like entering another dimension, surrounded by lights and sound effects that pull you right into the gameplay. It’s nearly impossible to concentrate on anything else with so many exciting stimuli.
  • Every game is different
    Anyone who has tried pinball machines might think they’re all the same. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Each pinball machine has its own story and gameplay, providing a completely different experience even if the controls are similar. Not to mention, pinball isn’t just about skill—the physics and luck also play a role, so no game is ever the same.
  • It strengthens family bonds
    In today’s world, we often assume that kids are only interested in their phones. But with the right program, we can strengthen family ties. The Flipper Museum offers an entertaining time-travel experience where adults can temporarily return to their childhoods and enjoy playing pinball machines with pure joy. This is a unique experience for children, as they rarely see their parents or grandparents in such an enthusiastic state.
    Moreover, pinball has always been a social experience. You can compete to see who scores the most points, cheer each other on to finish a game, or even create fun challenges within the standard gameplay.
