So, what makes Silverball Museum Delray Beach Florida so special, and why it’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Florida?
Skee Ball, Anyone?
The Silverball Museum Delray Beach Florida is an interactive museum with dozens of classic pinball machines, classic arcade games (i.e., Space Invaders, Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong), original Coney Island skee ball, and more!
And, you don’t have to bother with quarters or tokens because they use something they call “free play” — you pay for the time you spend at the museum, so you are free to jump from one cool game to another.
Free Play for an Hour, Half-Day or All-Day Long
You can even play some of the rarest pinball machines in the world at Silverball Pinball Museum. If you’re a pinball enthusiast, this is definitely the place for you.
The owner’s collection is more in the 700+ range, so they constantly switch out games. Historians, pinball fans, and kids of all ages will find the stories behind each pinball machine.
All the vintage pinball machines have fascinating backstories and are fun to play. Playing pinball and video games is a great way to spend an hour, afternoon or evening.
Grab Something to Eat or Drink
In addition to its impressive pinball selection, Silverball also has a fully stocked bar and restaurant. So if you get hungry or thirsty during your visit, you can just head over to the bar and grab something to eat or drink.
They have great food and drinks, and everything is reasonably priced — Happy Hour Monday-Friday is from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm with half-price drinks and a $7.00 food menu.
