Silverball Retro Arcade

I love this place it's a perfect addition to the boardwalk. It's fun and educational the games work and above each one is the history of it. I found it very unique out of any other arcade that features vintage games and pinball. If you're in Asbury this is definitely the place to visit

Great for kids of all ages. Patrons are generally respectful to each other. One flat rate lets you play every game available. Many retro games available for the classic arcade crew. Restooms are clean, but they could use one more for when things get busy.

One of our new favorites! Pinball machines and video games galore and from more decades than any arcade I've been to before or ever heard of. The pinball machines (maybe it was all machines) have plaques with the year it was first produced and other interesting facts like how many were made! One pinball machine called Knockout, dated back to 1950 and it works! They also have a food concession with good pizza, hot dogs, etc. (though I wish they had at least one vegetable on the menu).
I think they're open year-round.

We had a blast! My grandkids loved this place! They have every game under the sun! Fun place to play pinball! 👍

Went for a father son day trip. Everything is so well-maintained and it’s fascinating to play the games. They explain each one at the top with some interesting trivia and information about the design etc.. The staff was top shelf also and incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend.

Coming from a moderate pinball enthusiast, this place is incredible. They have a vast selection of some of the most iconic and interesting pinball machines, as well as a few classic arcade games as well. Pinball machines are notoriously difficult to maintain, but the staff here does a stellar job at keeping them in working order.
There is a snack bar/small dining area, which isn't particularly special but it does add a level of old-school charm.
I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Even if you only have a passing interest in the game.

Took my 2 adult children here and they loved it! I think it may have been the first time they played actual pinball machines. This place is great and is right on the Asbury Park boardwalk so you can’t beat the view. I love how each machine has its history above it. You can play skee ball, air hockey, old school video games and of course pinball machines. It’s a one time entrance fee and then you can play without quarters. They have a snack bar but I didn’t really check it out. They also have space to have parties. So much fun! #karmelknockingaround

This is the only place I know of that can have two different birthday parties going on at the same time...one for an 8 year old boy and one for a forty year old man. In both cases they were HUGE successes.

This place is a rare gem...run by people who love their hobby and want to share it with the world.

Go. Enjoy. HAVE fun!

Still great!

I heard that they are going to be expanding at some point in the future. Pops Garage is moving down the boardwalk and Silverball is going to be taking over that space.

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!

UPDATE - JULY 27, 2022

How can a place that was voted the Number 1 attraction in New Jersey devide to expand, get more stuff and become even better?

I have no idea...butvit shows you how much these people love what they do and still share it at reasonable prices.

Just fantastic!!!!

UPDATE - NOvember 26, 2022

The construction is complete.

This place is even better than it was a year ago. Believe the incredible number of positive reviews. This place is a gem!

UPDATE- OCTOBER 3, 2023

I was prompted again by Google to give Silverball an updated review. Why? There is no need to change my 5 Star review.

Look at how many reviews they have.

Look at how high the ratings are.

Silverball is worthy of the hype...STILL!

UPDATE - jANUARY 17, 2024

I refuse to change my ratings. This place is still AWESOME!

Today on a winter weekday there were only 5 customers and the place was empty!

But I added more photos.
