Fun, Food And Fantasy<br />

You don’t have to be a Pinball<br />
Wizard to enjoy the miracles<br />
and memories at the<br />
Silverball Museum in Delray.<br />
Enter a world of Fun at Silverball Musuem<br />
Most everyone who goes there has a story. They either lived<br />
near an arcade or spent time playing the very same pinball<br />
machines that are now part of history, yet intact at the<br />
Silverball Museum.<br />
There is a time and place for everything. That’s why people flock<br />
to The Silverball Museum for a reprieve from reality or a respite<br />
from the routine. There are few places that delight the senses and<br />
challenge eye-hand coordination like Silverball does.<br />
You can have a ball, literally, at this simulated boardwalk trip<br />
down Nostalgia lane. They have 9,000-square-feet of arcade and<br />
boardwalk fun. There are 120 games that include vintage Pinball<br />
machines, Arcade Games, Skee Ball, Basketball, Video games and<br />
table shuffleboard.<br />
Each game has its origin displayed so you can revel in its historical<br />
roots. The Skee Ball is so much fun you might find eight-yearold<br />
kids playing alongside 80-year-old grandparents (who for that<br />
short time often feel as if they’re eight again).<br />
But like every pretty face, there is more to the picture than meets<br />
the eye. They also have a restaurant and retro bar that serves wonderful<br />
food and a full selection of libations.<br />
You can’t beat their Happy Hour menu that will have you dancing<br />
in the aisles (this is the kind of place you can do that without worrying<br />
that you will be escorted out by the grown-ups).<br />
The Happy Hour Menu is in full swing from 11am to 7pm Monday<br />
to Friday. For a mere $6 you can get a juicy burger with fries<br />
or chicken sandwich. If you would rather indulge in a pizza, meatball<br />
parmesan appetizer or Caesar salad it will set you back $5. The<br />
prices at this festive culinary side car of desire are about as nostalgic<br />
as the machines themselves. And, the best part is the food is<br />
great, not mediocre bar or fast food.<br />
Silverball is also the perfect place for a party. It’s one thing to<br />
throw a party and another to ensure your guests enjoy themselves.<br />
It’s a veritable win-win at this festive feast of games, food, music,<br />
nostalgia and drinks.<br />
They have hosted parties for an established real estate company<br />
in Delray Beach, a local city employee, charitable fundraisers and<br />
corporate events. It’s also the perfect place for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs,<br />
Birthday Parties, Sports and Football Parties, Anniversaries,<br />
Club or Business meetings and Reunions.<br />
Everyone agrees that Silverball is the perfect party place. “Let me<br />
