May 24 through September 7
Play your way through more than 80 years of pinball history in this all-new exhibit at The Strong museum. Trace the evolution of the playfield—the surface where the ball ricochets through a maze of lights and obstacles to rack up points—from countertop games of the 1930s to sophisticated, electronic versions that remain popular today.
View pioneering pinball machines from The Strong’s collections including Ballyhoo (1932), Humpty Dumpty (1947), and Triple Action (1948).
Rack up the high-score on machines such as Vagabond (1962), FunHouse (1990), Monster Bash (1998), and Lord of the Rings (2003).
Wrap your arms around Hercules (1979), the world’s largest commercial pinball machine.
View unique artifacts, including playfield prototypes and sketches by pinball machine designers.
Went to the Museum of play in Rochester Buffalo last week with my two little ones for the pinball exhibition and it was awesome! What a cool hands on museum all around fun! Defiantly worth to check out. They had MB,LOTR, WOZ, Funhouse ,Tron LE, Transformers, CV,IJ,ST (stern), more sterns ,others.. some SS pins. They got the original blueprint and sketch designs for LOTR and Monster Bash, pretty neat to see the ideas come to life. They had some early wood rail with no flippers, Humpty Dumpty (first pinball with flippers) could play them though :? Allot of old school original arcades from the 80's, Huge gaming section from Atari to PS4 .
The pinball exhibition ends in a couples of weeks......
I think we paid 13$ per ticket, The pinball cost tokens but you could get 100 tokens for 20$ and all pinball take only one token/coin per game, the SS give you 2 credits per coin.
