Silverball Museum!

You probably know that I like museums, based on all of the trips I've taken and posted about. Our recent trip to a museum was extra fun because it was full of Pinball Machines! Hundreds of them, and once you pay to get in, you can play as much as you want for free! Okay technically not "free" since you paid to get in, but... you know what I mean?

This "museum" is right on the beach at Asbury Park in New Jersey. So it's all sorts of fun before or after pinballin'
Click on the "Read more" to check out some old-time fun?!


Inside you can see some of the machines lined up. There's tables for holding parties and stuff. Pinkie Pie would love this place!


This Indiana Jones machine has a gun to launch the ball. It felt exactly like that one scene from the movie where Indy shoots the sword guy in the marketplace?

Even though this machine was really old, it has cool little animated boxer guys.


 What are you looking at? As a "museum" I guess they are okay including this one here but there were a lot of kids in the place...


This machine used pinballs, one knob aims the guy and the other hurls the ball to bowl down the pins. Very clever and fun.


There was an arcade cabinet with tons of selectable retro games. Can we all hear the music and sound effects in our heads from Elevator Action?


You could peek in the closet where they keep all of the parts used to restore the machines. So of course we got a picture!


Right across the street is a sort-of famous place called The Stone Pony. I like the name!
