Pinball Pete's provides a fun evening out for both teens and older adults. It is a good, clean, fun hangout for high schoolers, and they often keep the place packed on weekend nights especially. There are lots of games and activities. You won't just find pinball but arcade games, pool tables and other fun things to do. They also have pizza and a nice selection of old fashioned, delicious snack foods. It is a place you can feel safe letting your kid go with some friends. The staff do a great job of keeping things calm and in line which I love! more

Pinball Pete’s is a pretty entertaining way to spend an evening. The floor space is split pretty evenly between pool tables and arcade games. Unfortunately, since the rise of the home console has pretty much killed production of new arcade games, you’re stuck with classic games and the occasional Japanese import, the most popular of which is Dance Dance Revolution. The place seems to be pretty popular with younger residents and freshman college students that are too young to go to any of the area bars. Thusly, you feel a bit ridiculous walking in there if you’re over the age of 20. Nonetheless, if you want to shoot a game of stick and don’t want to go to a bar, this is pretty much the only game in town in East Lansing. Despite being over the median age for that place, I still happen to find myself strolling in there about once a month or so and always have a good time. more

At one time, Pinball Pete's used to have a LOT of classic arcade games. I could spend hours playing the original Star Wars game. Alas, those days are gone, and now the place reeks of smoke and sweat from the kids playing Dance-Dance Revolution. If you are into it, they have quite a selection of DDR games, but there are usually high-school kids playing them all day. The last time I was there I watched a drunk college student try to dance on the DDR pad and ended up yelling and swearing and then knocked his friend's handful of quarters all over the place. If you can handle those kinds of activities from time to time, it is still worth checking out. more

Pinball Pete's, in Ann Arbor and East Lansing, is an arcade that is great for letting loose after hours of studying or working. You'll know you're at Pineball Pete's when you see a crazy pink elephant, hear the sounds of video games being pumped full of money, and hear pool balls being racked up. Its a nice place, but sometimes you get the rougher crowd hanging around there ... so if you're looking for a place to take a date, don't go here. If you're looking to bang on a video game for a few hours and forget about real life, this is a great place though. Enjoy the arcade! more
