My son is 5 and I've kept him from this franchise for 5 1/2 years. Friday night we went to a birthday party at this fine establishment. I've had very low expectations of this place, since I had heard the pizza taste like cardboard and everything else wasn't great. When you go in with low expectations it's easy to be pleasantly surprised. When we first walked in we were greeted by red ropes, is this some sort of VIP entrance? I found out they stamp your child's hand and the parent, to make sure you match on the way out. Not a bad idea. Surprise number 1. Next the tokens are 25 cents or less depending on the amount you purchase. And every game is only one token, surprise number 2. Since we were at a birthday party, the tokens were included. They sell beer for under $4 and wine, another surprise. I didn't have the pizza but the other parents said it was pretty good. I was also able to eat at a salad bar, which wasn't fantastic but I'm glad it was there. The birthday was fun and it was great to watch D-boy have such a great time with his friends.
On the way out he told me this was the best day of his entire life. WHAT? Apparently I could've saved a ton of money by knowing this earlier. Our trip to Legoland and the San Diego Zoo apparently didn't compare to Chuck E Cheese. Or the 4 day trip this summer to Disneyland. Or the trip to the Toys R Us in Times Square. Nope nothing compares to Chuck E Cheese. On the way home I had to remind him that this place was only for special occasions. I'm not sure how well that went, his definition might be different than mine.
