★★★★★a month agoThe pinball museum is more like a game hall full of pinball games trough the ages. The oldest I saw was from around 1930s. Most of them you can play, unlimited. It's a nice place that has got a small bar for with some soft drink options. I payed around 11000 HUF for two of us and it was well worth the fun we had for a couple of hours.

★★★★★a month agoFlippermúzeum is an amazing place and an absolute must-visit! My biggest recommendation is to come as early as you can. We arrived at 10 PM and even two hours wasn't enough because there are so many pinball machines and arcade games to try. It honestly made me feel like a kid again, and that nostalgic feeling was the best part of the experience. We had so much fun and could easily have stayed much longer. Highly recommended!
