I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man. It has a 'video mode' that kids might find a fun break from the pinball action. They can be had for well under $1000. For that price you could also get an EM. Lots of EMs are kid friendly. A tic-tac-toe, bowling, football, baseball are just a few themes that might fit. A Gottlieb with lots of drop targets might also be a good choice.
