Congrats to Asbury's Silverball Museum for taking the top spot on USA Today's list! Silverball was up against some major contenders including the Cape May Zoo and Pier 13 in Hoboken. The gaming museum is also the only attraction from Monmouth or Ocean that made the final cut.

And now, your top 10!

Silverball Museum - Asbury Park

What can you say about the Silverball Museum that hasn't already been said? There's something about the combination of greasy food from the cafe and retro games that brings everybody to their happy place.

Did I ever tell you I ran into Governor Chris Christie at Silverball?
