Oregon’s Next Level Pinball Shop & Museum Wins Location of the Year

Congratulations to the Next Level Pinball Shop and Museum in Hillsboro, Oregon for winning pinball location of the year at this past weekend's TWIPY awards. The local publication Oregon Live just published an excellent article on Next Level. Check this place out!

The 20,000 square foot arcade has 238 pinball machines and another 200 arcade games in one location, all for only $20 for an all-day pass. And Next Level has plans to add a 6,000 square foot expansion next year. In fact, Next Level's 10-year plan involves expanding the location to have over 12,000 games on location, in essence turning it into the Disneyland of arcades. On a somewhat related note, Next Level also claims to have the World's largest collection of lunchboxes, with 3,146 on display throughout the arcade.

Man, I need to plan an Arcade Road Trip (TM) (though it would involve flying for me lol) to the Pacific Northwest soon. Below is a link to the aforementioned article:
