A museum that encourages you to "Please Touch!" Located at 1510 Webster Street in Alameda, the Pacific Pinball Museum features over 100 playable machines, from 1947's "Humpty Dumpty" (the first machine with flippers), to modern day computer-driven marvels like "Godzilla."
Host Scott Piehler talks to PPM Executive Director Evan Phillippe about the history of the game that was technically illegal in Alameda until just about 10 years ago, as well as how the museum helps schools teach engineering and science lessons through the game of pinball.
