This place is like a blast from the past! Such a cute little pinball shop with vintage pinball tables as well as other games! Super cool! We happened in to it by accident, seeing a awesome mural on the wall we had to investigate. We showed up at the final hour of night and got the pleasure of enjoying the place for free. We were told that it is about $11 bucks for an entrance fee, and it is pretty much worth it. Good stuff, and fun as fluff!

Frank and I love to play Pinball. Brings back great childhood memories. Found this place only 15 minutes away before we left Boynton Beach for the day. Lots of vintage pinball machines and about eight modern ones. I believe we did a BOGO deal and paid $15 for all day play. They have beer wine liquor and food available. Fun place if youre ever in Delray Beach.

I had an absolute blast at this place! It wasnt overly packed but we did go a little late. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a bar for the drinkers and tables around the games so you can set them down.

Fun place to spend a few hours. If you grew up playing arcade games like Pac Man, Galga, and Area 51, skeeball, or steel pinball machines (and many other arcade games) then you’ll enjoy playing them again here. One hour flew by. I’m glad I visited the Silverball Museum.

What a great time! We paid for an hour and the time went by really fast. There were a lot of pin ball machines but they also had ski ball and even the classic racing games. I would recommend this for a date night, night out with friends, just somewhere to go on the weekends for fun.. it was a good time we will be back.

It was a lot of fun but super packed the day we went (Saturday afternoon) but we still had a blast. We didnt eat there but for $12 we played to our hearts content the several various games available repeatedly. My 4 year old loved it and there are little step stools for use. Staff was really pleasant. Bathrooms were not bad given the volume. Drinks were pretty good.

This is a great little excursion from the usual beach and shopping activities. Amazing selection of old time and some newer pin ball machines. Definitely go upstairs to get some Donkey Kong in along with air hockey, etc. I had a chili cheese dog which was ok, but theres a great selection of beer to choose from. The place got very busy in the middle of the day. To many little kids running around (from area day camps I guess) but Im guessing the evening would be better as far as all those screaming little ones running around.

Wandered into this place almost by mistake but what a great little find. Obviously it’s first and foremost for lovers of classic pinball and other arcade style games , however we sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Happy hour on food and drinks is all day until 7.00 pm Monday to Friday.I had the best $6 burger I have ever eaten and my wife’s pizza was fresh and delicious.Lots of beer and wine specials plus classic cocktails included in the happy hour deals.The host at the front took time to explain the concept to first timers like ourselves and our barmaid was also very welcoming and friendly.Will definitely return soon.

Check my honey to this place to play pinball. He loved it and played for 3 and 1/2 hours. We took a break for pizza and drinks. The pizza was terrific and we had a blast. Marsha and the staff were so friendly that we will be back again. Our friends will love coming here.

Went for a friends bday celebration. $20 entry on a Sat. night for all you can play. There was also a pretty good live band. Ski ball was great and a few vintage video games brought back memories. We also had fun playing foosball and air hockey- we are a competitive bunch. I didnt eat or drink because I was full from our last stop but they had a full bar. The only negative I would say is that the place had poor ventilation and smelled vintage/greasy.

Awesome! The games are well maintained and the facility is clean. The food is very good. Much better than what I thought bar food could be. The bartenders are always friendly and fun. A great deal for a fun night with a group were just a date.

Review №24

Great concept! A great place for a couple hours of fun with adults or kids. Love how they have information about the history of each game. Nice little bar area and good value overall in the evening (we paid $15 for remainder of the night - all games are free play).

Review №25

Such a fun place to spend an afternoon. The majority of their collection is from the 70s, so if you like that era of mechanical machines, certainly go visit. They have a bar for food and beer which is always good. Some of the machines are broken, or in various stages of repair, but it cant be helped with the amount of traffic and age range that comes through the door.

Went on Tuesday for the two $25 all day pass. Had a good time many assorted pinball machines air hockey basketball skee ball. Found this place to be very clean and also would make a great venue for a party or gathering. Parking is free in the municipal parking around the building. The south side of the building is 2 hour free parking whereas the north side of the building is 9 hour free parking.

A really fun place to spend half a day at getting lost in the nostalgia for the good old days of pinball machines and arcade classics. Some machines were dating back to 1950s... It was cool to read about their histories and play them as well. The place was clean and well maintained. They serve alcohol as well. I will go again.

Pinballs and more pinball machines. Every game imaginable. Very reasonable price on games. Food was surprisingly good. Full bar. This is a great place for a party. Will be back !!

Review №33

I really dont want to be harsh and I also wish that this place wasnt over-rated but my 1st experience was not to good. 1st of all a very huge number of the games and pinball machines are either not working,halfway working or have major glitches. They dont have 1 out of order sign though. I understand these machines take a beating but this type of business should be more concerned about 1st impression if they want to continue business. I personally wish I had a better time but when a 3rd of pinball games are not working properly it made me not want to come back. Sorry but I hope this place changes because there is nothing around like this besides boomers and they care even less about their appearance.

Awesome pinball museum that actually lets you play the machines! A 100% must see attraction for anyone visiting the downtown Delray area, or for honestly anyone visiting Palm Beach County. It has a bar you can sit and relax at and admire all the well kept up pinball games!

This place should have 5 stars for their selection of arcades and historic pinball machines.However the music in there is so annoyingly LOUD that one can barely hear anything but the music.They hand out earplugs for free at the counter which doesnt really help with the experience

Ri
Review №39

Definitely different and unique. A pinball museum with lots of bars and a restaurant. Upstairs are a few machines and 2 bars for private parties. They have bar type food, pizzas, wings, hot dogs, and other stuff.Each machine tells what year it was made, the manufacturer and a brief description.

Many pinball machines, some old classics plus some brand-new modern, alongside video arcade games (several are multi-game options, so there are far more choices than they have room for). So satisfying to scratch those old addictive itches.

Definately a place to stop by and enjoy nostalgia. Obviously they have a ton of pinball machines but they also have old school games that would cause epic battles with your friends. Classic hits like Mortal Combat, Qbert and skeeball. Do yourself a favor and go. Also if you are cheap or rather spend your money on drinking, they have family day on Sunday for $35 on a family of 4.

Authentic 70s and 80s pinball ABCs video arcade games. Great DJ, good drinks. Awesome atmosphere. If you were a teen in the 80s this is a great way to walk down memory lane. Centipede and Space Invaders

Review №47

My gf brought my son and I as a surprise bc we had no idea a place like this existed. Its full of classic pinball machines as well as some arcade games. They serve food and alcohol and have anti-bacterial stations on almost every corner. They have daily specials and the staff is very friendly. Its not your typical arcade where they charge you $2 for only 4 tokens. All machines are free, but you pay for your time and its reasonably priced. They have another location in New Jersey. This is such a great concept.

I have been here twice. I came for a friends birthday second time. Everything was pretty good and staff was friendly. I ordered two funnel cakes for a birthday surprise. Bartender was amazing. Funnel cakes for birthday were absolutely terrible and well, well over cooked. Great atmosphere but I would not recommend food.

This was our first time at the Silverball Museum and it was a lot of fun. We had a group of 10 people all using the different games and enjoying ourselves. Ages ranged from 25 to 89 years old and everyone played and had fun. The staff that we interacted with were all very nice and helpful.

I loved the service and the place. It wasnt too crowded, and it had a couple really cool old games.The bar tender was nice. She was very attentive.The woman who charged us, and let us in was very nice.We got sodas, a burger, a chicken quesadilla, and a pizza. My son did not lije the burger. The pizza was okay. My other son liked his chicken quesadilla. So the food was onkly okay.

Awesome place for pinball mavens and video game lovers of great old-school units. The place is clean and the tables are (generally) well-maintained. Hourly admissions with all the games working on free use. LOTS of great classic pinball tables and even some rare units! Come when you have a lot of time to spare, you can get drawn in seriously!

Review №59

What an amazing place to visit. All the games are in free play and you can get a full day pass.Lots of selection at the bar, and some good food choices too.The games are all looked after and play well. A couple were down, but thats expected in a facility this large. When I say a couple, I really mean only 2 or 3.Lots of pinballs from all different eras, a lot of information on every game. A whole bank of EM skee balls to play and a bunch of rifle games too.Theres a second floor with even more games and some of them pretty rare too.If you are down in Delray, this is a must visit.... Even if you arent a pinhead. Lots of fun and great bang for the buck.I will be visiting every time I come down to Delray.Parking is ample, but can fill up. Though I was sable to find spaces without issue.This is also a good venue with kids, as they provide little chairs for them to stand on to reach machines. It could be a little loud for the younger ones, but nothing unbearable.Two thumbs way up from me !!

Review №68

The food and drinks alone are a great deal, and the museum is awesome.This place is an arcade featuring pinball and arcade machines dated anywhere from 2018 to the 1950s! Above every machine is the name, date, and info telling you all about the machine.You can pay $10 for an hour, or $15 for the whole night. All the machines are set to free play (a couple of them seemed to be missing balls, though).Happy hour runs until 7pm, with cocktails only costing 4 bucks.I got a burger and fries for 6 bucks, a big portion too.Im not familiar with the area and didnt have gps, so i passed it a couple times. Its right on the road next to the train tracks and it has its own parking lot.

Really cool place to come visit, I live up in Palm Beach and I heard from all of my friends that this place is super cool to go to because its super vintage and the drinks are really good. If you are into pinball or any other older games I definitely recommend this place it is worth going out of the way for. And its only around $20 for all you can play.

Review №81

I wish I could say I enjoyed this place more but tbh its way too loud, crowded, and expensive to be worth getting into. If you dont see a pinball machine hogged up theres a 50/50 chance its not working. Would recommend going during a weekday maybe.

Great place. Good price for beer. After 10pm a wristband can be purchased for 10$ good for reentry until 2pm.Air hockey tables and a foosball table, but one of the men was broke only bad thing really to day about the place.I love to play pinball. What a walk down memory lane! Games ranged from the 60s to the 2000s.Ice water was provided.

Pure happiness for anyone who likes playing pinball and drinking beer. Pay by the half hour, hour, or all day. $11/hour and ALL machines are on free play, and I do mean ALL. Go to the bar upstairs for fast and friendly service. A few of the machines had stuck flippers, but the majority worked great! They have a mixture of old and new, enjoy!

Review №94

They are constantly changing this place for the better - the owner does not rest on his/her laurels... Took my girl here for a unlikely Valentines date - trying to avoid the normal, overcrowded restaurants/etc. This place ROCKS! Fun games, cocktails, a bite to eat - staff is friendly when you need to interact or they leave you to play games if not. Food was excellent, drinks and service were great! Memorable night out and reasonable as well.I had to talk my kids into coming another time (16 and 19). Pulled them in kicking and screaming and couldnt get them to leave. Now they want to go anytime we get a chance. They loved it.The games are a piece of history and you can play 99% of them. One price to get in and play away.See you there!!!!

I found about this place via a Yelp Elite event, sadly I couldnt go but it was on my list of things to see/visit on Yelp. So I took my mom here as a surprise for Mothers day since she LOVES Pinball machines.The museum is pretty amazing. Playing the classic games from wood to modern dayish.Price? For 5 of us, it was around $45 in total to play unlimited games.

Review №98

This was a great place to visit and experience history with the kids. Almost all of the pinball machines were working when we visited, and they have other classic arcade games as well, including skeeball and air hockey. There is a flat admission fee and then unlimited plays on each game, so no worries about tokens.

Great fun for young, older (like us) and old. Can be too crowded to enjoy at peak times but otherwise great fun with a wide selection of games, way more than just pinball games. Keep an eye on the clock if you pay to park, not a lot of grace. Plenty of great food within walking distance if you want to step out and come back for more. Great place for groups and birthday parties too.
