Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: Do we need to reserve during regular opening hours?
A: Yes, as long as the Corona measures are in effect you need to book a ticket. We hope to be able to sell tickets at the door again as soon as possible.

Q: I don’t want to play any of the pinball machines. I just want to look around. Do I still have to pay the entrance fee?
A: Yes, if you just want to look around we still ask for an entrance fee, after all, it’s still a museum. With lots of education and pinball machines from the 1900’s.

Q: Can we play on the pinball machines?
A: Almost all pinball machines are playable, all the machines made before the year 1960 are just on display. If there’s a machine turned off it’s either one of the machines that’s just on display or it’s broken. And please, don’t turn the machines on, this could damage the machines.

Q: Do we need to put coins of some sort into the machines?
A: No, after you pay the entrance fee you can play all the pinball machines you want.
