Solid State Pinball is dedicated to growing the pinball community in Kansas City through classes, events, and tournaments. We have run over 700 pinball events in Kansas City since 2011 and can't wait to host hundreds more at our new shop/arcade in Kansas City, MO. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a shop or an arcade?

Why not both?! We have a dedicated shop space with parts, games for sale, and awesome pinball related merchandise. The shop space also houses 20+ pinball machines available for public play by the hour or day. In addition we have a dedicated coin drop pinball parlor upstairs that is open every day.

How much does it cost to play games?

All games in our upstairs and downstairs are on freeplay with a membership. Memberships are $10 for two hours, $15 for 3 hours, or $20 for all day. We also offer a monthly membership for $60 per month that gets you all you can play for 30 days. We often run discounted days/sessions, tournaments, private parties, and full access days where the upstairs coindrop arcade is also included with membership.

Where are you located?

We have two spaces inside the Wonder Shops and Flats building at 2999 Troost in KCMO. Look for the Wonderbread truck on the rooftop patio. We have a coindrop arcade on the first floor and a large shop and arcade in the basement.

What are your hours?

Unless closed for a special event the hours for each location are posted on their respective arcade pages.

There is a lot of free street parking all around the building. See the map below showing available parking. If you aren't able to find street parking you can park in the paved lot behind Ruby Jeans.
