Located in the beautiful Grampians, Victoria, this museum is interactive for all ages, so be sure to stop by.

The Australian Pinball Museum has a massive collection of playable machines, history and fun. As you walk through this tourist stop you will see how these intricate machines evolved over the years.

It’s a mix of entertainment and education, a hands on adventure to relive the fun of the old arcades.

About the Museum

Founded by a group of pinball enthusiasts the Australian Pinball Museum has become a tourist attraction. The museum was started to preserve pinball for future generations. Located in Victoria Valley the museum’s story ties in with the Grampians cultural and Aboriginal history and the region’s significance to the Djab Wurrung people, the Traditional Owners of the land.

Why visit the Museum?

While the Grampians is famous for its natural beauty with landmarks like Mount William, Lake Wartook, and Silverband Falls, the Australian Pinball Museum is a fun surprise for all visitors. After a day of hiking the Boronia Peak Trail or exploring Lake Bellfield, this is the perfect indoor activity. You can enjoy the interactive exhibits while taking in the views of the surrounding valleys and hills. Whether you are an experienced hiker or new to the area, the museum is a great place to combine culture and play.

All Ages

The Australian Pinball Museum is suitable for all ages, families, couples and solo travellers. Unlike most museums this one lets you play the games while you learn about the history behind them.

Interactive Exhibits

Interactive exhibits are the heart of the Australian Pinball Museum. Here, you can get hands-on and play.
