1 / 2Pinball Pete's
📍 Ann Arbor, MI
Pinball Pete's has operated in Ann Arbor and East Lansing for decades, offering pinball machines, redemption games, billiards, and air hockey. Tickets and receipts are interchangeable between both locations. Cash only with on-site ATMs.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 6 and up who enjoy classic arcade formats and redemption games. Teens and adults engage equally with the pinball and billiards offerings. The late operating hours and central downtown location make it a flexible evening stop near the University of Michigan campus.

“This place is legendary! While I miss the old location,this location will only keep getting better. I noticed them tone down the lights a bit and make some great improvements already. The new building and sign look great. Still has a lot of great games and I'm sure more are coming. A place that really defines Ann Arbor!”

“New location is great still has the charm of the old location just miss the older cabinets youd find tucked away in the back across from the air hockey. Still is a great spot for fun and friends.”

“I just went for the first time and really enjoyed myself! The employees went above and beyond, and were super friendly. I spent $10 and was able to play a decent amount of games.”

Overview
Pinball Pete's Ann Arbor recently relocated to 500 E Liberty Street, retaining the classic arcade character that built its decades-long reputation. The floor runs pinball machines, redemption games, billiards, and air hockey - all on a coin/cash basis. Saved tickets and printed receipts carry over to the East Lansing location, so progress travels between visits. The prize counter stocks candy, stuffed animals, and specialty items scaled to ticket totals.
