Flippermúzeum Budapest

Flashing flippers from every era

"Flippermúzeum in Budapest is a pinball museum, but museum might be the wrong word here - you can play with every exhibit, and it's fun for everyone!"

Would you have ever thought of enjoying something like this? Well, me neither, but let me tell you, it’s so much fun!

The Flipper (Pinball) museum is a very vibrant place full of colourful and diverse flippers from all eras. The word "museum" might be a bit misleading, because here it's not just about watching -  you can actually play with all the exhibits you find, and there are indeed lots of them. You can even find some very early pieces, which are my personal favourites. The old ones are mostly made of wood or iron with some glass, it takes a while to figure out how to approach them and start playing because they are so very different from more modern ones.

It is fun for kids and for anyone, I believe, because of the extremely wide variety of pinball-like things to try out. Spending time in Flippermúzeum feels as though you're in a different dimension. If you ask me, it's relatively easy to lose track of time and yourself in this vibrating world of fun impulses. Particularly on colder, rainier days, it's so much fun to enter this world of play with some friends.
