| - Either I'm growing up or the games aren't what they use to be. I believe the latter as I really haven't grown up that much. For one, most of the video games have been replaced by small mechanical rides. The rides seem really lame, but my daughter has a compulsive need to try each one. Most of the non-ride token consuming devices spit out limited amounts of tickets unless faced with an extreme display of skill or the slightest bit of luck. Many of the ticket games are kiss your token good-bye in two seconds or less and see what happens. Otherwise, there were some mediocre racing games. I conducted a thorough search of the premises. The ball pit has shrunk, but with an increase in the second floor tunnel system. The decor now includes Chuck E Cheese parities of TV shows and movies like The C Files, Chuckfeld, and Chuck Trek that are amusing. My daughter loves the blue screen where her image appears on some screens in the dining area in front of whatever is playing. As with most times we come, we came for a birthday. The Chuck E Cheese balloon that greets you at the table is really cool. It's fun to watch the little ones try and grasp tickets in the wind tube, a must see. And the pizza is pizza. The caffeinated apple soda was interesting. After realizing there was no coke, I had root beer. All in all, the location is small and needs better video games, but is fun for the kids. Too bad they don't Yelp.
