Walkabout With Wheels Blog: The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada

It's in an older building.

Eric and I are happy that it's open. The Museum of Pinball in Banning, California only opens for special events. Casual visitors are unlikely to find it open.

Ten thousand square feet is dedicated to over 1,000 Pinball and Arcade Machines. Most are from the 1950s through the 1990s.

For decades Pinball Machines were illegal in many cities across the country. They were considered a game of chance that required no skill, making Pinball a form of gambling.

There are rows & rows of

Arcade Games.
