The Flip

The Flip is Chicago’s not-for-profit playable pinball museum at 2150 S. Canalport Ave, Suite 2A8, offering a hands-on, educational look at pinball’s history with a small collection of machines spanning the decades (about 10 playable pinball machines). The Flip runs a 90-minute guided tour called “A Brief History of Fun,” hosts biweekly open houses, weekly repair days, and private tours by appointment, and focuses on restoration, volunteer involvement, and connecting newcomers and enthusiasts with the art, science, and culture of pinball.
