Chuck E Cheese Review and Giveaway! September 4, 2012 – Posted in: Giveaways
This weekend we had the chance to do some family fun! We were long overdue for quality time together and the girls soaked up every second of it. I have to admit, I’d never been to Chuck E. Cheese’s before, and I really didn’t know what to expect. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! We got there and everyone got stamped with a special number in invisible ink. The employee at the Kid Check area asked if I’d prefer Ella’s stamp to be on a sticker instead of her skin and I quickly said yes. She told me she always asked for the babies and I was very impressed I got the option.
Once inside we chose a table and got everyone settled and I headed to the counter to order. There are lots of very budget-friendly family combo options and I was again surprised. I had no idea it was so affordable! I ordered our pizza, got drinks and a cup of tokens. Sofie was chomping at the bit to get out there and play so while we waited on our pizza we started wandering. Once again, Chuck E. Cheese’s was able to impress me. There were a number of games that were appropriate for my small kids. It’s hard to tailor arcade games to such a large age-range, but there was plenty of fun for everyone. They both really loved this frog game and spent a good 10 minutes shooting balls into its mouth.
The Hubs and I enjoyed it as well because we were able to interact with them on most of the games or rides. Sofie nearly beat Daddy at air hockey!
Chloe wandered around in awe most of the time, taking it all in. She stopped to talk to, or hug, nearly every character on every ride.
There were mixed feelings about the ride with Chuck E. Cheese, but the keepsake photos we got have already become a prized possession of Sofie’s, taking an honored spot in her bedroom.
After a break for some pizza, we spent the rest of our tokens, got our number stamps inspected with a blacklight to make sure parents and kids went together, then headed home for naps. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and know we’ll be back for sure! Whether for a playdate lunch with friends, or a weekend family trip, I’m a convert and will be a regular patron!

I love it for the skeeball!
Wait…. why the family loves it? Oh….;)
The variety of games is fabulous, and they really stay on top of them keeping them working or fixing problems that might come up. I adore the door check they keep. I’m not one to let my kids run wild, but it’s nice knowing that in a heavy child saturation area I’m not reaking if I loose sight for a moment. Peace of mind is priceless!
Trisha September 04, 2012 - 10:17
The kids love to win tickets (and so do I)!
Julie September 04, 2012 - 10:27
We love to go to Chuck E. Cheese as a family when one of the kids gets potty trained. Everyone enjoys it because there is something fun for everyone there. Ours is about 1.5 hours away, so we don’t make it there as often as we would like.
Kala September 04, 2012 - 12:08
We love Chuck E. Cheese! It’s a special treat and that our kids love. It’s my sons requested place to go to celebrate his birthday every year as well!

We have been there for a god-child’s birthday party and were also very impressed. This year our own little one would be big enough to enjoy the activities.

we LOVE chuck e cheese. my kids love to get the tickets and trade them in for prizes. they also LOVE to dance with Chuck E when he comes out! I love that i can let them play without me being on top of them constantly, yet I can still see them from any point of the room with the way ours is set up. And I LOVE that all the games and rides are one token! I dont remember it being that way when I was a kid.

We absolutely love Chuck E. Cheese’s!
I love that the kids can run around and are fairly safe. (Our children are very well behaved, mind you!)
The kids love that they can run around and play all kinds of games and for one token each! It’s great!
They also love using the picture making machines (for one token!).
We tend to go there when the weather is too hot or cold to do anything else!
Nikki September 04, 2012 - 15:33
We were just there this weekend! It was what my 3 boys chose to do for their last day of summer break. We love it because there is something for everyone to entertain themselves with and our boys can roam around and choose what they want to do.
Chelley Black September 04, 2012 - 16:58
My kids love all the games that are geared for younger children. They love winning tickets, but cashing them in is always a tearful battle. I wish they’d do away with that part!

I haven’t been since I was a kid, but from your blog it doesn’t seem to have changed much!

I took my three-year-old for the first time over the summer, and I, too, was pleased with how affordable it was! And the pizza’s pretty good!

One word: Skeeball. Or is that two words: Skee ball. I don’t know, but we love it.
Cynthia T. September 06, 2012 - 21:59
I like the pizza and it’s been great for the kids. I would take the walker for my daughter and let her rip through the play area like a bumper car. (She was pretty timid so it really wasn’t so wild!) The only thing they hated was the mouse! They would hide from him!
Sherrie Evans September 07, 2012 - 00:05
Definitely skee-ball! Pizza was good too!

I feel confident that my kids are safe, and I can relax while they have fun. And I always enjoy a few rounds of skeeball!

My son loves Chuck E Cheese! We go once in a while as a special treat. We don’t usually eat there, but he likes to play the games. I also like that when redeeming tickets, they let you pay 1 cent per ticket if you are short for a prize.

My daughter absolutely loves Chucky cheese. It is a place where she can release energy and run around carefree without me worrying about her. We will often take her friends with her for double the fun. There are often great coupons available online to increase the bang for your buck. I have even been able to find links of coupons that never expire and have a great value. Feel free to contact me if you would like this link. I really love it that all of their games are only one quarter, it makes all the games very accessible to all the children playing.
