Calling all Pinball Wizards to Virginia's Blue Ridge
Roanoke, VA (PRWEB) July 09, 2015 -- Center in the Square is excited to announce the addition of a brand new attraction to their facility - the Roanoke Pinball Museum.
Pinball players, young and old, will be introduced to the history of pinball, the science behind the game, and have an opportunity to appreciate the color, composition and overall design of the back glasses and playfields. SOL-compliant curriculum and educational resources will be available to students and teachers to reinforce their visit to the museum.
"We have the opportunity to playfully educate and introduce a new generation to a game that has consistently reflected the sign of the times in American pop culture while introducing a new attraction to Center in the Square and destination for the Roanoke Valley," said executive director Jim Sears.
