"What's the cost of a high trust society? The sort of place where you could lightly lose track of your kid for, say, 20 minutes, and not necessarily double over with a triumvirate of guilt, panic, and shame? At the Next Level Pinball Museum, the going rate is $23 per person. It might be the best money I ever spent."
"Opened in 2017 off a lonely patch of land in deepest farmland Hillsboro (next to the paintball warehouse, amid tract work plots of regular farms and data farms), Next Level boasts more than 650 individual pinball machines and arcade games, the vast majority of which are set to free play with price of admission. At 27,000 square feet, it's the largest arcade on the American West Coast, and one of the largest on the planet."
Next Level Pinball Museum opened in 2017 in Hillsboro off a patch of farmland. The museum contains more than 650 pinball machines and arcade games, with most set to free play for a $23 admission. The space covers 27,000 square feet, ranking as the largest arcade on the American West Coast and one of the largest globally. The collection is sourced and curated by a single family that also houses vintage lunch boxes and pop culture ephemera. Pinball in America is experiencing a resurgence, with new machine sales rising 15–20% annually and Portland having the highest per-capita cabinet count as of 2020.
