Where To Play
Revision as of 09:04, 19 October 2020 by Pinball Wizard (talk | contribs) (Making the executive decision that there are MUCH better places that are regularly updated to provide location info about where to play.)
Venues for playing pinball can be generally grouped as:
- Locations
- Arcades, "barcades", bars, restaurants and other entertainment venues (amusement parks, bowling alleys, miniature golf locations, etc.) can be located with the help of #Pinball Location Databases
- Pinball-specific venues
- Pinball/arcade museums
- Pinball Shows and Tournaments
- Additional information forthcoming on the Tournaments page of this wikI
- Local Pinball Leagues and Clubs
- You may also look for a local Pinball Club or League if you care to find other fans of pinball near you. Some club members will invite members to their private homes to enjoy their collection. Start your search at the IFPA Leagues page, look to see if there is a group near you on meetup.com, or use meetup.com to start your own. (Look to the San Diego Pinball Club as a guide on how to start a successful - with 200+ members - pinball club via meetup.com.)
Additional information forthcoming on the Leagues page of this wiki - Collector Community
- Involvement and networking in the local pinball community provides opportunities to attend pinball-related social gatherings or just stopping by to play pinball with a fellow player/collector
