Frequently asked questions about Union Pool

Yes, as far as we know. We last checked 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 Union Pool, and can I pay by card?
$5 per strip for a strip. Cash only — bring coins or small notes.
Is Union Pool 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 Union Pool?
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 Union Pool, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots in black and white for $5 per strip. 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.
