Bobby Dee’s Arcade

Tons of fun but the prizes are a bit high priced. Still its fun and they have poker tournaments

I still recall spending summers at the Jersey shore with my family. We would drive drive from Md to meet up with the gang (they were all NY’ers). I looked forward to those weeks all year long.
I loved the beach. I loved eating outdoors. I loved the water and sand. But I REALLY LOVED THE ARCADES. Many of those shore towns have completely changed in the last decade knocking down arcades to build oceanfront monster homes.
Oh not Wildwood. Bobby Dee’s brought me back to my days of youth. They had all the old machines I grew up playing 20+ years ago! I mean, I went around like a child again screaming in joy!
And skeeball. Good old skeeball. Our group of mature women ran in, took out our singles and got down to playing! I went to the good old change machine and fondly remembered the «clink» made by quarters.
The new stuff — you swap your tickets into a machine that counts them. Then you take that receipt to the friendly young summer workers behind the prize counter.
If only I could be 7 again and spend my summer saving my tickets for that special prize… thank you Bobby Dee’s for bringing me back to those days.
