Frequently asked questions about The Blind Donkey
Is the photo booth at The Blind Donkey still working?
Yes. It was verified working on Dec 3, 2025. If you turn up and it's out of order, tap "Report an issue" on this page so the next person doesn't waste a trip.
How much is a strip at The Blind Donkey, and can I pay by card?
$5-$7 for a strip. Cash only — bring coins or small notes.
Is The Blind Donkey a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. Prints are black-and-white, developed with real chemistry inside the machine, so expect to wait a few minutes for the strip to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to The Blind Donkey?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at The Blind Donkey, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots in black and white for $5-$7. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at The Blind Donkey?
5:00 PM – 2:00 AM every day. The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.
How do I get to The Blind Donkey?
It's at 149 Linden Avenue, Long Beach, California. Use the map above for transit, walking or driving directions from wherever you are.
Can I get into The Blind Donkey with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at The Blind Donkey is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Long Beach for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
