The Lazarus Pinball Museum is a dedicated pinball venue tucked into Fenton, a southwestern suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. True to its name, the space is built around pinball rather than the wider mix of cabinets, drivers, and shooters found at most arcades. It functions less like a typical game room and more like a curated museum of pinball, where the machines themselves are the headline attraction and visitors can spend an afternoon moving between eras of flipper design.
St. Louis has long been a stop on any Midwest arcade tour, with a healthy mix of bars, family entertainment centers, and specialty rooms scattered across the metro area. A focused pinball-only spot like The Lazarus Pinball Museum slots neatly into that ecosystem and gives collectors and casual players a reason to detour off the main drag. Visitors planning a broader day or weekend of play can browse the rest of the city’s options through the arcade finder or the interactive arcade map.

The Scene
Publicly available visitor commentary for this venue has not been aggregated into structured highlights, so the picture below is drawn from what the venue is and where it sits rather than from quoted reviews. As a pinball-only room in the St. Louis market, The Lazarus Pinball Museum occupies a fairly distinct lane. Most of the metro’s arcades, such as Up-Down STL and The Edge, blend pinball with broader mixes of video and barcade-style play, while newer entertainment concepts like Activate Games and Sandbox VR lean into active or immersive experiences. A specialty pinball museum fills the gap for visitors who specifically want rows of flipper machines, with the chance to compare mechanical eras side by side and to dig into the design history of each cabinet.
The listed 4.9 rating across 136 reviews is high for any local attraction and is consistent with a focused, repeat-visitor audience that knows exactly what it is walking into. Visitors planning a St. Louis arcade crawl can use the directory’s arcade map to plot The Lazarus Pinball Museum alongside the surrounding metro venues in a single outing.
Games & Machines
The venue’s identity is pinball, and the lineup is presented in museum fashion rather than as a generic pay-to-play lineup. Visitors can expect the format of a dedicated pinball room: rows of machines, each with its own theme, era, and rule set, set up for repeated play during a single visit. The “museum” framing in the name suggests the lineup is curated with an eye toward the history of the hobby rather than as a rotating selection of the latest releases. Because no specific machine list is published in the data available to this directory, individual titles are not named here; anyone wanting a current inventory should check the venue’s own site or call ahead using the number in the table above.
Visiting
The Lazarus Pinball Museum is located in Fenton, Missouri, a short drive southwest of downtown St. Louis along the I-44 corridor. The address is listed simply as Fenton, MO, so visitors should consult the venue’s website or call +1 314-808-6611 for the exact street location before heading over, especially for a first visit. The venue’s official site is listed at lazaruspinballmuseum.com for anyone who wants to confirm directions, current pricing, or any special sessions before making the trip.
The weekly schedule is concentrated into four days. The museum is open from 12 PM to 10 PM on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, with a slightly earlier close at 8 PM on Sunday. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are listed as closed. That midweek-closed pattern is worth planning around: Tuesday and Thursday visitors in particular will find the doors shut, so most drop-ins will be arriving on a weekend afternoon or evening session.
No age policy, food and drink program, or private-event booking details are published in the directory’s record for this venue, so specific rules on minors, on-site refreshments, or party reservations should be confirmed directly with the museum. Venue owners who want to update or expand the listing, including adding machine lists, photos, hours, or event information, can do so through the claim-your-listing page. To find other pinball rooms, general arcades, and entertainment venues in the region, the arcade finder and the arcade map are the quickest starting points.
