Silver Ball Museum, Delray Beach, FL

Silver Ball Museum, Delray Beach, FL

I walked into this place and felt like a kid walking into a candy store. Every pinball machine I played as a kid, or at that dive bar in college, was there. It was reliving the golden age of arcade games at Silverball Retro Arcade in Delray Beach, Florida. It has over 150 vintage and modern pinball, video, and arcade games, and I found myself lost in a world of nostalgia. High Scores for the day and forever are posted on each machine, challenging you and your friends or date to a high-score battle on  Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Skee Ball. Or, immerse yourself in the mesmerizing world of pinball with a vast collection of classic machines. 
The establishment is owned by Robert Ilvento, who has two locations, one on the Asbury Park Boardwalk, and this Florida, location opened in 2017. Admission to the museum gives you one free play on the machines. I chose the pay-by-the-hour and happy hour priced drinks (cup holders on each machine).
