Chuck E Cheese’s

Only played games with my 3.5 year old. She had a great time. All games were working. They seemed to be understaffed for the amount of people were there on a Sunday with multiple birthday parties

I took my niece here last year whenever she was 3. She enjoyed the games but i’m sad that there isn’t a lot of space to climb around in. There’s one tunnel and it’s not too big. I’m only saying this because I grew up at Safari Sam’s (Rest in Peace!!) which was the most AMAZING place EVERRRR for a child. Its ok though.
One plus is that the games are kind of separate. There is an area for smaller children’s games and then more games for older children. They seemed to have a decent price on food but we did not eat here. Also, they serve draft beer.
In the back, they have room for parties as well as a stage for Chuckie. My niece was literally terrified of him. She screamed bloody murder and we had to run out of the door to avoid the stares.
Also, another plus is that you get an invisible stamp for every person in your party. I’m assuming every group has a different design or color of some sort. When you leave, someone checks the stamps under a black light to make sure no one left with a kid that is not theirs.

When I was a kid, Chuck E Cheese was a place I went to for birthday parties. Now, as a babysitter, I took a 5 year old, per parents request, as a reward for good behavior for 4 days. We went around lunch time on a Friday, there were two or three other families there but they were there separately. After an hour a few more came in. It just seemed like a casual Friday afternoon lunch amongst kids, games, and a creepy giant mouse who made it rain tickets on the kids, they had to pick them up off of the floor. The staff was friendly and competent, although I did have to wait a few minutes before being helped every time I was at the counter.
There are coupons online, I just googled chuck e cheese coupons, and there are about 7 that come up. I used the one for 125 tokens for $ 25. That lasted a good 2 hours, then we had pizza. Note: they offer a gluten free pizza and gluten free cupcakes. The salad bar didn’t look too sad, but it was $ 6.99, a complete rip off.
The prize counter did not have many toys. Some of the «prizes» had actual price tags. Additionally, if someone is short on tickets for the prize they want, they will take cash to make up the difference. Watch out parents, because she looked at the child and said she needed 100 more tickets, looked at me and said «it’s a dollar, if you want to do it that way». So I put the dollar up!
Overall, I can see how a novelty place like Chick E Cheese from my 90’s childhood became a place for casual Friday lunches for families with young children. There’s just really nothing that special about it. I wish there was a place like Discovery Zone I could take a 5 year old, now that place was fun!

My three year old loves it, that’s all that really matters.

I like to let Chuck E. Cheese take the fuss out of birthdays and they’ve been doing so for year. Now we’ve tried Ci Ci’s Pizza and we’ve gone bowling too, but as a family we always find ourselves back at Chuck E. Cheese.
The vast majority of my siblings were born during cold and flu season so when I saw a Chuck E Cheese employee wiping down games after use I was both oddly impressed and thankful. Chuck E Cheese for years have been offering great indoor fun for my little bro whose birthday is in December. With options for out door activities far and few between in the winter months I am beyond thrilled to have such an excellent Chuck E Cheese so near to home.
My only disappointment is that there is no longer all ball pit and the tubes that the kids can climb through have been reduced. Everything else from the selection of games, food and entertainment are up to my high standards for family fun.
