Happy National Star Trek Day!
The Dutch Pinball Museum is a hands-on experience where history and gameplay merge, offering visitors a nostalgic journey that bridges past and present.
Located in in Rotterdam’s historic Delfshaven borough, the museum rotates its inventory to keep around 100 machines playable for the public. The collection spans pre-war, electromechanical, solid-state, and dot-matrix eras.
More than a showcase, the museum also tells the story of pinball’s evolution. Early machines such as Fleet Jr. (Bally, 1934) and Majors (Chicago Coin, 1939) stand alongside more contemporary games like Square Head (Gottlieb, 1963), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Williams, 1993), and King Kong Premium (Stern, 2025).
Visitors are encouraged to book tickets online in advance. Private group visits are also available.
To further its mission, the Dutch Pinball Museum established a foundation dedicated to documenting and preserving the history of pinball.
