Food is good at Chuck E Cheese?!?! I haven’t been there since I was a kid in the 80’s. All I remember was cheese pizza, which as a kid is the greatest food on earth, but as an adult I’d imagine it’s pretty terrible. They are maximizing cheapest ingredients (because kids don’t care) at nosebleed prices. Glad to hear the food is better. I think it’s a smart business decision to appeal to the adults too.

Earning tickets is pretty priceless. Took my daughter to Great America and they had an arcade with ticket dispensing games. She loved it. She’s 3 and not very good but the staffer great sports. They’d put in a coin to show her how it was played and earned a huge strip of tickets (they were pros at all the games) and then give her the tickets.
