I've been to the Silverball Pinball Museum several times and perhaps I enjoy it more and more each time. There are so many pinball machines, ranging from the "antique" up to the latest and greatest. Its hard to play them all even in several visits, but the fun is trying and exploring machines you haven't tried before. Not to mention... More

Growing up I was always a big pinball fan. Even when arcade video games came of age, you'd always find me in the pinball aisle, often looking for the older machines, shunning the latest fads. At the Silverball, you can relive the glory years of pinball from early machines with "no wagering" admonishments to digital machines with soundtracks and fancy... More

Time flew by playing pinball from yesteryear. There are even some old video games like Asteroids, Galaga and Centipede. Well worth the time and money.

Great place to spend time. There are machines from all generations and fun to play skee ball again, even if I didnt get tickets to trade in for the plastic spider ring. The is one price to get in and best to go when it isnt crowded to play more games more often. Metered parking

I have been a pinball player since a kid. Fun to play as much as you want for a set fee. My wife and I played untill our wrists hurt, lol. Great range of games but can get tedious if it is busy. I don't recommend it because I want it all to myself.

Playing old school pin ball was a blast! It brought back old memories of afternoons at the sweet shop/luncheonette in the late 60s. A great selection of machines to play and my hour pass was not enough! I can't wait to return! Coupons are available on-line and they offer many different options including parties! Located right on the boardwalk!

This place is great! If you used to play pinball in your youth, a visit here will bring you back in time! It was interesting to play the older machines, and I got to spend a lot of time playing Gorgar, the favorite machine of my teenage years. Throw in a little Skeeball & you have the perfect day. So...

I was there with my wife, 12 year old son and his friend. We all had a fantastic time. We played for two hours. There are machines from the 50s 60s,70s,80s and 90s. Ms. Pacman is there too. A great way to spend a few hours. This is the first time my son and friend actually played pinball on a... More

This place is perfect year round... The machines are kept in perfect working order by a "pinball wizard" and the atmosphere is a controlled party.... Everyone smiling and excited to play the games of their past (and the past of their parents/grandparents). The cost is very reasonable and a great diversion for kids and adults...Open year round - also a... More
