Den of Pin, Electromechanical Interactive Pinball Museum


Got friends visiting? Want to hide away from reality for a bit? Feeling nostalgic?You've got to check out Den of Pin. This isn't your average arcade. Stepping inside feels like you've been transported to a vintage circus, with a dark, flashy interior and the familiar, satisfying ping of flipper coils and bells echoing through the air.


​Den of Pin is a museum dedicated to the art and history of pinball, but with a twist—you can play all the exhibits! They have a wide variety of lovingly restored pinball machines, all of them "pre-digital" electromechanical models from the 60s and 70s and earlier. You'll find yourself lost in a world of chimes, bells, and colorful light bulbs, a stark and refreshing contrast to the modern video game era.

​It's a fantastic spot for all ages, but the fact that they serve beer makes it an ideal destination for a fun night out with friends or a casual date. You can enjoy a cold one while you let the sounds of a classic pinball hall wash over you.

​The best part? It’s a flat fee to enter, and that includes unlimited gaming. You can play as many games as you want for as long as you want, making it a perfect rainy-day activity or a place to spend a few hours getting lost in the past. It's a fun and truly unique destination on Vashon Island, and worth every penny.
