Believe it or not with an 8 year old we have only gone to Chuck E Cheese for 2 parties ever.  So when we had the opportunity on a rainy afternoon to try it out, we decided to go.  Armed with a card for a pizza, 4 drinks and 40 tokens  I figured my kids would be excited.  We went super early and it was not crowded at all.  We walked to the counter and ordered.  We were then seated and I divided up the kids tokens.  We went to play while we waited for our food.  

We played, ate pizza, played some more redeemed our tickets and got prizes.  We had a great time and will go back for family days.

*Thanks to Chuck E Cheese for providing us with a guest card.
