Such a cool space in an unassuming spot. My niece recently discovered pinball, so when she visited with her parents on summer vacation, I found this place & we took her as a surprise. The whole family had a great time. I'm definitely going back just to hang & brush up on my Addam's Family skills, as it was my jam back in the day.

What a gem! This place is really special. They have over 50 pinball machines from the 60's to today. When you walk in, you're met with tons of machines and several different rooms with new ones to discover at every turn. It feels like walking into a loved one's home who instead of decorating with furniture has decided to fill every space with pinball. It's a well kept, clean establishment with machines for cashing out quarters and also an ATM if you forget your cash. I played about 1/3 of them so far and all were in good working order. It sucks when you want to play a game only to learn about something being broken or your quarters being eaten. Can't wait to go back.

This place is 1 in a million. I've never seen so many pinball machines in my life. Tip - bring cash and change with you, if possible. These are the real thing and don't take credit cards. The owners are so very friendly and the resident dog is sweet too. I cannot wait to stop back and try some of their games.

Best place around for good clean fun! We are lucky to have a place like Lyons pinball around. I live in Boulder & make the trip often!

Amazing! A wide variety of pinball eras represented. Every machine I played was set up very well. They've got some real fun games here, including a house 2-player. If you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out after a long hike like I did!

One of the longest running pinball joints in CO! Highly recommended, definitely worth the trip to Lyons, play pinball for hours, and grab a beer and some grub next door, nothing beats it.

We decided on visiting Colorado for vacation and would you look at that! There just happens to be a Pinball Tournament the night we arrive! From Denver International, we drove up toward Lyons, stopping just long enough in Longmont to pick up some kick butt BBQ. Check for my review in that elsewhere. We arrived in Lyons and we're lucky enough to find parking right in front. The joint wasn't open yet so we strolled the street for about a half-hour and then it was time to get warmed up for competition. Everyone from the owners to the players was friendly and no one gave me stink-eye for not being a local. The venue, while tight, held a terrific variety of pinball machines that were in excellent condition. The only thing that I could possibly wish for was a drink holder on every machine. A minor quibble since most Pinball establishments don't offer any. I would most definitely stop in again if I were in the Luons area.

Wow! Pinball machines!! We found it walking around Lyons after a short motorcycle ride from Broomfield. They are open Thursdays - Sunday and Thursdays are great for us! Bring cash I don't think they accept credit cards but making change is no problem. Three rooms full and lots of variety! I didn't see one "Out If Order". Close to brewery, and coffee shops. 3 plays for $2.

So much fun. Just good old pinball machines that brought back lots of childhood memories before cell phones, computers, and Xbox.

Classic games, retro vibes, old school fun. We're up in Lyons a lot and while there aren't a ton of non nature-y things to do 'round these parts, Lyon Classic Pinball is a must. The pinball wonderland is located right on the main drag in Lyons, but it's pretty tiny (you could miss it if you're not careful). Don't forget to bring some quarters or cash for the coin machine--I don't think a card will get you very far in this establishment. They have a couple vending machines with snacks and drinks of the non-alcoholic variety (don't worry, if you're really needing a bev you can head next door to Oscar Blues before or after your game sesh). As for the games, well...I'm a child of the 90's and not really an expert. My boyfriend, however, is somewhat of a pro and dominates the Donkey Kong Jr machine every time we're in there. This arcade is mostly pinball machines (hence the name), but they do have a few of the 80's video games like Pac Man. Love me some good ol' fashioned fun!

This place is an absolute gem. It's so cool! Loads of pinball machines, from vintage to new. Everything worked just fine. It's a small, dark little arcade in an old building but I love that stuff. I wouldn't say it's kid friendly, as it's quite small inside. Better for older kids and adults. They have an old school vending machine for snacks and a tiny bathroom that has a shower in it. I think this is an old house? Whatever it is, it's awesome. There's a change machine by the door. I'm assuming it's cash only. Come check it out if you love pinball and vintage kitschy goodness!

Amazing place! Great selection of over 30 pinball machines! several very expensive top ten all time pins. They have stools for little kids to play too. Great location next to Oskar Blues so you can take food/beer breaks. The owner Kevin is very nice and knowledgable. A must stop and play if you are anywhere near Lyons, CO.

The place has failed to evolve. Nothing's changed. And since the competition has gotten better lately, namely from PBJones and elsewhere, LCP has gotten worse on a relative basis. So they have been docked a star for the same old problems. In fact I don't even bother with them anymore and I'd say it's doubtful I ever return. Almost pains me to say it, but 2 stars it is.

Tons of machines to choose from. Many very popular titles and a few particularly rare ones too, like "Joust". The operator was very polite, but a bit awkward. I was honestly impressed with his knowledge and helpfulness. The whole building feels a little old and run down, but you're there for pinball, not aesthetics, right? I want to point out that of the 15-ish machines that I played, every single one worked 100%. If you play pinball at all, you know how frustrating it can be to play a machine which has not been properly maintained. Well done, Lyons Classic Pinball! If you're in the area and even a little bit into pinball, check this place out. Very dorktastic cool.

I love pinball, but the vast majority of my experience with the game consists of playing on beat-up machines in grimy dive bars. When I walked in to this spot, I felt like I had been admitted, albeit briefly, to pinball heaven. The most immaculately maintained machines I've ever had the good fortune to play and an owner who didn't scorn me for being far beneath his level of expertise, and, in fact, gave me a few tips including how to pull off the super skill shot on Medieval Madness! Wow wow wow wow this place is incredible. Thanks for a fantastic afternoon.
