Every now and then we like to play skee ball. We're not particularly good at it, but we still like to try it. This generally leads us to Chuck E. Cheese, and it occurred to me this time to write it up, and evaluate it.
For the purposes of skee ball alone, Chuck E. Cheese may not be the best place. This is where a kid can be a kid, so an adult trying to be a good might find that the balls are too low, and it doesn't take like for your back to start hurting.
Chuck E. Cheese still ends up being a good place, because then they have so many other things that are fun, and you can get a pretty good deal on tokens, allowing you to try many different games. I thought the mice racing bikes was cute, but feeding peanuts to the animals was also fun, and something you could get better at.
The pictures focus on video games, but there were also football and basketball throwing games, and generally a good variety. It is not as big as Big Al's, John's Incredible Pizza, or Dave & Buster's, but there is a charm in that. I think there is also a greater focus on customer satisfaction. One thing we really appreciated was that all prizes at the redemption center could be purchased outright and the prices were reasonable. For anyone who has ever had not quite enough tickets, you know how valuable that can be.
Adults can get in and get out in a relatively short amount of time. Kids may want to stay for the show, and to dance with the mouse, and that's okay.
One reason we went was that we heard the menu had been updated with more sandwiches and things, but we ended up sticking with pizza, which is always a good choice.
The other thing I will say about the food, and this will sound negative but is not intended to be, is that in a place swarming with children you should not use the salad bar. We saw a couple of kids pick things off the salad bar with their bare hands. This is not at all surprising, and it's kind of common sense that it would happen.
Just stick with the pizza.
