Have dinner at Chuck E. Cheese’s

Some parents take their chiclets to Chuck E. Cheese’s to play… I take mine to play AND eat. Chuck E. Cheese’s revamped their menu a few years ago and now they added even more new items and parent-friendly menu items, including gluten-free and thin & crispy pizza crust. They’ve also added delicious specialty pizza flavors including fan favorite Cali alfredo (includes spinach, creamy alfredo sauce, sausage, mushrooms and chicken), BBQ chicken (includes BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions and green peppers), Veggie (MY favorite) and classic pepperoni.

And did I mention that they offer stuffed crust pizza now too?!! In addition to pizza, Chuck E. Cheese’s also offers other food items such as traditional and boneless wings, wraps, cheesy bread, pretzel bites and an endless salad bar and more. After your meal, splurge on one of their new dessert offerings include cinnamon dessert pizza, churros and a giant warm, chocolate chip cookie. Visit Chuck E. Cheese’s now through December 31, 2017 for a returning fan favorite – the Mac Cheesy Pizza – featuring creamy cheese sauce and elbow macaroni—all smothered in melted, bubbly Colby and mozzarella cheese.

Date night at Chuck E. Cheese’s? Yes, it can be done.

You know how sometimes you want to go out with your guy/girl… but just can’t because you can’t find a baby-sitter or it’s just too much work? Well, let me tell you that you can do a date night at Chuck E. Cheese’s, and bring the kids along too! Chuck E. Cheese’s has some very adult menu items like beer and wine (at great prices too!) and they offer coffee too!!! Plus, you can hook on to their free WiFi and hang out and watch a show or something while the chiclets go crazy on the arcade games. Take a walk around the floor and have some friendly competitions at skee-ball, or partner up on Fruit Ninja. I didn’t think I’d ever see myself doing date nights with the Hubster at Chuck E. Cheese’s – but let me tell you, it can be done.

Be prepared.

Bring along a few items to make your visit a breeze. This is what I bring along:

  • Lanyard or wristband for the Play Pass. This way, the chiclets won’t have to carry them around in their pockets and potentially lose them. Also, a Sharpie to write their names on their cards.
  • Small bag or drawstring backpack for their tickets. You can purchase a bag at Chuck E. Cheese’s, but bring your own to save money.
  • Dress comfortably, and if you really want something specific to focus, it’s long shirts. You’ll feel a lot more comfortable than if you’re constantly having to pull down your shirt.
  • Use the sanitizing stations liberally, or bring along your own sanitizer. It’ll make you feel so much better if they’re constantly cleaning their hands.
