by [Colin Alsheimer](/author/colin) · May 19, 2025 · [Travel](/news/category/travel)

> Fort Myers anchors a surprisingly strong Southwest Florida pinball scene, with a nonprofit arcade housing 75+ machines, a brewery with league play, and a Cape Coral pizza spot with a deep lineup.

Southwest Florida delivers one of the state's strongest pinball scenes outside the major metros. Fort Myers anchors the region with a nonprofit arcade housing over 75 machines, while Bonita Springs and Cape Coral contribute a brewery and pizza spot with substantial collections of their own.

‍

The Pinball Asylum stands out as a destination-worthy collection with tournament-ready machines and IFPA events. More casual players find well-maintained lineups at the brewery and pizza venues, both of which host regular league play. The geographic spread across three cities works well for a Southwest Florida pinball road trip.
