When I first heard about this event, I excitedly ran to tell my husband, to which he commented, "Back in my day we called it an arcade." Ok, you old poop, just humor me for a minute. Doesn't it sound like a blast to prepay for unlimited pinball play? A presale ticket for one full day is only $7.50 for kids 5-15 years old. Something tells me they'd go through a heck of a lot more quarters than that! I know we go through tokens like water when playing at Chuck E. Cheese. Plus, I think it would be fun to see all the different pinball machines.
DOUBLE PLUS! Mention you heard about the Pinball Expo on Oakland County Moms and you will get one free children's admission with each adult entry, at the door.
