Dutch Pinball Museum: playing the collection

At the Dutch Pinball Museum in Delfshaven, historic and modern pinball machines are offered as a playable collection. The line-up in De Dubbelde Palmboom may change; your ticket is linked to a booked visiting slot.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking while you play

Notice the relationship between the playfield, the controls and the score. Playing a few times can reveal differences that are less noticeable when you only look, within the machines that are available and working.

Comparing designs

Artwork, lighting and sound give each machine its own presentation. Compare how these elements direct your attention and how they relate to the game you are trying to understand.

Choosing a time slot

Opening is organised in slots on Wednesdays and at weekends. Booking online determines your entry; a day pass and a shorter slot offer different options.

Before you go

Book in advance and check the exact start time. According to the visitor information, the Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) and Rotterdampas are not valid; the entrance is on the waterside by the Voorhaven.
