The Pros & Cons of a Chuck-E-Cheese Child's Birthday Party

Chuck-E-Cheese is a pizza/games/party place that all children seem to love. This company combines food, games, prizes, and costumed characters to entrance and thrill its patrons under the age of adulthood. So it was no wonder that my own children love going there and thoroughly enjoy
 having their birthdays hosted there. Here, you will find pros and cons to help you decide if having your child's next birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese is right for you.

Pros:


Nearly Unlimited Fun - Chuck E Cheese is filled with arcade-style games. There are games for the youngest toddler to the adult who accompanies the birthday child. Most children couple spend all day there. I say "nearly unlimited fun" because it's fun until the game tokens run out. Then they'll be begging for more, more, more. But until that moment, the kids will have a wonderful time playing every game under the sun. And all you'll have to do is stand back and watch.

Dinner & a Show - With the birthday party package, all children get pizza, cake, drinks, and tokens. Not only that, but they are given a birthday show by Chuck E. Cheese, himself! Or at least the employee who unluckily drew the short straw on who has to wear the giant rat costume. The kids are entertained with music, song, and dance while being coerced up on stage to dance right along side the giant rat. You'll see lots of laughing, jumping, dancing, and excitement.

Specials - If you have a Chuck E Cheese nearby, you've probably noticed coupons in your local paper for deals on pizza and tokens. Even if you're not a coupon cutter, I highly suggest using coupons here. The Chuck E Cheese website even has coupons that you can print off to use. If you book your child's birthday party online, you'll even get extra tokens to go with it. Anytime we go, I always bring along a stash of coupons for extra tokens, another pizza, and whatever else that I think will come in handy while we're there.

My children never take their socks off in public (if they are wearing them). If I know that they will be playing somewhere like this then I make sure they wear socks (they are always in saddles in the summer). There are just too many germs to let them run around barefooted in public. I'm not a germaphobe, but I don't like them being barefooted somewhere like that.

I think it is so gross when kids are running around without their shoes AND socks. I think it is nice that kids take their shoes off so they don't step on smaller kid's tiny fingers. But - yuck!! I don't want my child getting a nasty foot fungus from other kids. I just get grossed out all together. But anyway- I LOVE Chuck-E-Cheese!! It is so much fun! When our daughter was 12 months, we would play the games and she would pull out the tickets. It was GREAT! =)

Question: Does your daughter take her shoes off when you go there? If so, does she play barefoot or in her socks? I ask because whenever I take my 7yo there the first thing she does is takes her shoes off to run around the oversized hamster tubes. The problem is her socks get worn out and dirty quickly running around in socks, so I always insist she takes her socks off and then she plays barefoot until we are ready to leave.
