Capitol Pinball is hands down one of the coolest hidden gems in Sacramento! The “play all you can” package is an absolute steal. It’s the perfect way to spend a few hours completely immersed in the flashing lights and satisfying clacks of pinball bliss. The staff deserves a special shoutout too. Super cheerful, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely want everyone to have a great time, whether you’re a total beginner or a pinball wizard from way back. What really makes this place special is the mix of old-school classics and cutting-edge machines. You can jump from vintage titles that bring back the 80s arcade vibe straight into the newest high-tech tables that feel like interactive art. It’s nostalgia and innovation rolled into one, and it’s impossible not to have fun here. If you love pinball or even just good vibes and a unique way to unwind,Capitol Pinball is a must-visit.

This place brings back memories of real arcades with floors of video games and pinball machines. Back then, I spent too many quarters, but here you get an affordable all-day pass with a bracelet for re-entry. Great staff, fantastic atmosphere, family friendly—this 80s geek highly recommends it! \😄/

I didn't quite get to every pinball machine in there, but the ones I did get to were in just about pristine condition. All the machines were on free play and it only cost $10 for a wristband(And you could go in an hour as long as you had it!). The owner was so incredibly nice and funny as he rolled around on his roller skates. Much love from Stanislaus pinball league!

Been here a few times now & had a blast. The machines are solid & the owner Ryan goes above & beyond to provide a great experience, showed us the internals of how the machine works, i got to feel the Pinball which was really cool, and learn about how the games played. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the future of this place as it’s a really cool historical place to place some historical pinball machines as well as modern pinball machines!
