My wife and I are needing a long weekend. Pittsburgh is withing a decent driving distance. I have been reading about many of the pinball spots. Is there anything else good to do that would make it worth the trip? Kennywood will be closed by the time we would get there.

Visit Helicon Brewing to play Pinball, Pinball PA or Kickback Cafe, Eat in the Strip District, visit the Zoo or watch a game.
The National Aviary in Pittsburgh is one of the few in the country, the birds fly around free but can't escape, attached is a butterfly house, again they can't escape and land on your arms, head, etc. Very close by is the Pittsburgh Zoo. Both of these should not be missed, the downtown is very driver friendly with lots of parking and restaurants.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Kennywood will be closed by the time we would get there.

If you are coming in on a Friday or Saturday before Halloween they are still open in the evening for Phantom Fright Nights
Quoted from TheGunnett:Visit Helicon Brewing to play Pinball, Pinball PA or Kickback Cafe, Eat in the Strip District, visit the Zoo or watch a game.
Is Kickback open again? that is great news!
Have a nice dinner around the three rivers area. There is a cool monorail thing you can ride too. Kinda neat.
Other than that, not much. Drink beer I guess.
PinballPA has a huge selection and you can spend all day there. Helicon has all the newest games plus great beer. Between those two places it should fulfill all your pinball needs. There is plenty to do here and it's just a matter of what you are looking for.
Condado Tacos downtown and apparently some other places has the best tacos I've eaten outside of Texas. Especially the chorizo.
If you end up in the South Side, there's a place called Super Happy Fun Time, formerly Trixie's, with 6 games.
Hambones and Cattivo in Lawrenceville have 3 and 4 games each.
