In 2017, the Delray Beach location had 88 pinball machines and 24 arcade games, ranging from the 1950s to 2000s.[3] The space expanded in 2018 and by 2020 had over 150 video games, which range from the 1930s to the 2010s.[1][4] Admission to the museum gives free play on the machines, and guests can pay by the hour or the day.[3] In addition to housing games, the 9,000 square foot building serves food and hosts events.[5][6][1]
