Sparks Pinball Museum Arcade & Bar - The sign is from Sylvania/Toledo. Major Magic's outclassed Chuck E. Cheese in every possible way.

Easily one of the coolest hidden gems in Metro Detroit!…read more This place is amazing! I have wanted to visit for a long time, but I live almost on hour away on the other side of Metro Detroit. I had the day off, and decided to make the trek out. Spark's is located inside a bowling alley, and utilizes a space that I think was once where the pool tables were (there are still two pool tables within the museum). Sparks is LOADED with tons of pinball machines, ranging from the 1960s through today, it really gives you a great exhibition on the evolution of pinball. Each machine also has a cool placard with information about the significance of the machine. There are also cool historic signs on the walls from places that are long gone, including Major Magic's, which holds a special place in my heart since I went there a lot as a kid. Spark's also has many classic 80's arcade games. The bar connected to it is great and the machines have cup holders attached to them so you have a spot for your drink as you play. I thought I'd spend an hour max in here and ended up staying for two hours....and I only left because I needed to get home. If this place was closer to be, I'd be here often. I hope to make it back soon. Hopefully with some friends for a fun, unique night of pinball.

Super fun. Wasn't expecting straight-up joy from a "museum" but it was a hit for me, my teen and my…read more92-year-old dad. Lots of machines to choose from, with descriptors and convenient cup holders. Our only caveat, according to my 13yo: "They should have a more advanced card-to-coin machine or card readers on the pinball machines." Agreed--tho it wld put a crimp in the old-timely mystique. I rarely carry cash and I didn't see anywhere in advance (maybe I missed it?) that I needed singles or fives instead of a credit card to get quarters... So come prepared. They do have an ATM machine. (I don't have an ATM card these days, and my debit card wouldn't work.) Next time we'll bring the jingle. PS: There are a few pool tables, too--quarters only.

Wow! Just wow! The…read moreArcade is amazing. So many machines crammed into one space. Admittedly, I came for the pinball of which there was plenty. But on top of that there are modern international rhythm games, classic arcade cabinets, and even those modern sit down arcade monstrosities that are more like pieces of furniture than games. All of which are included to play for free with your admission. For some, that is an incredible deal. But if you are pretty good at pinball $20 can last a long long time at a regular arcade. Still, free play offers an opportunity to try out difficult shots and improve one's pinball game without dipping deeper into your wallet. There are a few downsides. As others have mentioned it's warm inside. Not surprising given the number of machines. On a hot summer day, despite fans circulating overhead, I was literally dripping in sweat wearing just shorts and a t-shirt. Next time, I will wear a lighter shirt and might consider rocking a sweat band around my noggin. Or, I might wait until cooler temperatures roll along. Being open only three days a week is a bit of a bummer. I'd also love to see a little more space between machines, as it's not uncommon to get bumped into during a game, and that's unfortunate. However, I would also hate to see The Arcade lose any of the machines they've got, so I'll happily suck up the occasional physical contact. At the moment, The Arcade has pinball machines spanning a wide swath of time including The Big Lebowski, Bonzai Run, Pinbot, Taxi, Toy Story 4, and the brand new John Wick. Their Elton John machine was wrapped up for transit, and it was unclear if it was coming or going. I do also love that you can have in and out privileges. One of these days, I'm going to have a Saturday pinball marathon, arriving at noon when The Arcade opens and staying until my body fails me. Maybe I can even make it to closing at 11pm, but even if I could log eight hours of pinball, that would be incredible. My biggest piece of advice is dress appropriately. Maybe consider bringing a portable fan or cooling device to hang around your neck. Ear plugs or headphones might also help you last longer and get more out of your admission fee.

Clean, well kept absolutely nicely maintained, the games mostly all work, and it's $20 for all you…read morecan play. I brought my little boy here who's a huge Dave and Busters fan. He's a little young yet to get into the old school arcade games but we had a good time on the racers and he's just starting to get down with pinball which they have a lot of. We often go to Pinball Pete's but this is a great alternative. They don't have the skeeball or some of the larger games, and there isn't a prize counter but for the cost and location I much prefer The Arcade. He and I can play for $40 where D&B or Pete's is more like $50-100 if we're both playing.
