If you can't afford a pool table or a billiard table, there are some rentals available that make life much easier. Plus, you might discover that pool playing is not exactly what you wanted.

If you have a family room you could get a Harley Davidson pinball machine or maybe buy some other types of arcade machines. These can keep kids busy for many hours and is safe and fun. Get some game tables and chairs and you are all set for some good family fun.

A good source for equipment is Cornilleau. Of course, some might prefer Shockplay for their entertainment.
