    Dug through some of the older threads about places like Logan's Arcade and other barcades in the Chicagoland area.

    From what I read, those places don't cater to the family crowd.

    Just trying to find a family-friendly place to take my boys (ages 7 and 9) to play pinball.

    Looking for a place that has the newer Sterns (year 2000+) that they (and I) have never played.

    I'm not looking for a place where they won't hear the occasional "f-bomb" or similar (they've been with me on Chicago toll roads - they've heard their share of cussing). Just want someplace that won't turn the kids away at the door based on the rules they have to follow (especially since it's a bit of a hike from where we're at).

    Quoted from tu71586:

    They aren't the new Sterns, though. Alternatively, you can get a free tour of the Stern factory in Melrose Park. Just give them a call. you can play some of the newer pins at the end of the tour.

    Yeah, we've been there a handful of times, actually (both to the old place in Melrose Park and the new place in Elk Grove Village). Thanks for the reply though (and the idea of Galloping Ghost).

    Just looking for a place with stuff like Tron, POTC, Simpsons Pinball Party, and other modern Sterns to play (between visits to see our friends at Stern).

    Gonna try Expo again this year, but my kids don't really like waiting in line or asserting themselves with people at busy pins.
