Pinball Land
Pinball Land
Located in beautiful downtown Rockford, Pinball Land is a retro arcade featuring 7 rooms of awesome pinball machines and some of the best video arcade games of all time.
The best part – no quarters required! No appointments! Just come in, pay admission and all of the games inside are free to play.
You can play for just an hour, or get an all-day pass so you can come and go as much as you like. The all day pass allows you to take breaks for food and drink at any of the terrific bars and restaurants in Rockford to really make a day of it.
Pinball Land features pinball games from many eras and styles, showcasing a wide range of what pinball is all about. We have games from all of the major pinball manufacturers: Gottlieb, Bally, Williams and Stern, all well-maintained to our high standards. Play ’em all, find your favorite, then ask the friendly Arcade Guardian on duty for tips and tricks!

Pinball Land is a great place for a private party, whether you’re hosting a small birthday party, holding a team-building event with your company, or just having a fun night out with your group of friends.
You can rent the entire arcade for a 2-hour block either before we open to the public or after we close. You can even bring in your own food and drinks! Contact us to get your private party set up.
We’re in this because we love pinball and the arcade experience and want to share the love with you and your family! Have fun, make memories, and maybe even set some high scores.
You don’t need an appointment or a reservation – just come on down and have some fun with games! We’re open 6 days a week (closed Mondays).
