we take my son everytime we go out of town to Chuck-e-Cheese. I love that they have meal deals with tokens and a lot of time they have coupons. Pizza is actually really good and the games are fun to play. They have games that all ages can play. My son loves seeing how many tickets he can get! They also have a show with puppets that is fun to watch. We usually go a get a meal deal and spend as much time as possible. They have some rides too which is fun for the kids. One of the rides takes a picture of you which is a nice keepsake to take home
Lots of kids running around with no parents mostly. Love the separate toddler place but disappointed its not all the way blocked off so no way to make them stay there. games are a little too high for the kids to play by them selves (bring a step stool if your kids short). Food is not that great but not horrible.
We went to a birthday party at the Chuck E Cheese in Santa Maria and had a really fun time. They have a special little play area for toddlers which was really nice. And all of the games are only one token, can't beat that! They didn't have the robotic puppet show that I remember seeing as a kid, but they did have the Mouse himself make an appearance :).
Always Clean and Cheap only 25cent games..Pizza is ok and Beer and Wine are served..The salad BAR always stocked..We have paid for a party but it is just as good to just do it yourself at the table area. Before you leave get an Icecream for only $1 The Birthday cakes a frozed and not that great. Kids are safe because they stamp your hand to get in and out.
I've been to other chuck-e-cheeses, but this one is by far the cleanest, most well maintained one I've been to. The staff is courteous and friendly and they actually stamp all kids going in with numbers that match their parents and then check them as they're leaving so no one can leave with someone else's kid. Also, the food is great, and the salad bar is better than I expected with lots of different toppings. Yummy! :)
