Ann Arbor Michigan Pinball Show 2024

The 2024 Ann Arbor pinball show will be Saturday May 4th and Sunday May 5th, 2024. We are also having a VIP party Friday evening May 3rd.

the VFW 2024 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.

2024 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!

2024 VFW Showcase Dates and Times.
– Saturday May 4th, 2024 – 10am to 6pm
– Sunday May 5th, 2024 – 9am to 5pm
– Friday May 3rd, 2024 – 7pm to 10pm VIP party
