Family Fun in Portland: West Coast’s Largest Arcade

Exploring Portland, Oregon? If you’re in Hillsboro (west side) and looking for a great spot for kids (not ideal for babies/toddlers), this place is a must-visit! 🎮 I first went there for a company team-building activity, and ever since, I’ve been waiting for a rainy day to take my son for an all-day gaming spree 😄 Let’s start with the essentials: the name is Next Level Pinball Shop & Museum, and the address is 1458 NE 25th Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124 📍 Admission is just $22 per person, with unlimited time! 🕒 Except for a few claw machines, every game is free to play as much as you want—unlimited continues make it easy to spend hours here 🕰️ The arcade has over 650 pinball machines, ranging from the oldest classics to the latest models 🕹️ You’ll also find everything from retro arcade games to modern video games. What’s more, there’s a wall full of various gaming merchandise, making it truly worthy of being called a gaming museum 🖼️ The space is huge—with multiple large halls—and it’s easy to get a little disoriented at first 🏢 That said, I didn’t find Taiko no Tatsujin or dance machines, which are my favorites 😕 It seems the arcade leans more toward a retro vibe! Also, weekends get really crowded, but since there’s so much to do and the space is massive, you won’t have to wait long to find a game to play 🎉 Pro tip: Drive around the building, and you’ll find a large parking lot for easy parking 🚗 Highly recommend a visit for all gaming fans! 🎊 #PortlandTravel #PortlandFamilyFun #Oregon
