Ann Arbor Michigan Pinball Show 2025

The VFW 2025 Pinball Show is the largest in world (by unique game count.) You will not find a pinball show with a greater number of restored and working pin games available for play any where in the World! And using a registration ticket system keeps people numbers low, so there’s always games to play, with no lines! This will be our tenth year for the VFW showcase.

2025 VFW Pinball Showcase has pin games from 1933 (essentially the start of coin operated pinball), to 1950s “woodrails”, to the 1960s/1970s/1980/1990s all the way to the latest current games of the 2000s and beyond. Every decade, manufacturer and game type is represented at the museum. There are many rare and hard to find games set up and ready to play. All machines are free play, so one entrance ticket allows unlimited play for the day. There’s something for every pinball fan here (we are the one of the largest dedicated pinball facility in North America.) But unlike other pinball museum type facilities, we are here every day working on our machines, making sure they play perfect!
