"Chuck E. Cheese has been modernized. The animatronics are no longer, replaced by a video board. It still has a lot of games adults will remember, and a lot of more modern ones, Gone are the days of cups of tokens, instead you are given play cards with minutes to use on games. Tickets earned on skill games are also applied to the card, which then can be used to purchase toys and other items from the counter. There is a cool addition to the floor: a dance screen/game with character images that scatter when the screen is stepped on. No lie that I got the giggles watching unsuspecting adults step on the screen and have a moment of disorientation. The facility itself is clean and the tables are well-spaced. Unlike other restaurants, it does not feel uncomfortably crowded when busy. The pizza is better than I remember, but it 's not blow your mind great. But let 's be honest: it is a sideshow for the games and Chuck E Cheese appearances. The salad bar is well-stocked with plenty of fresh greens veggies, and some other fairly delicious sides. There is only one drink size, which is okay if you want to waste drinks, or have kids take them to the car. Price-wise, Chuck E. Cheese is not cheap. The price is a bit higher than ordering from Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, or Dominos. The premium is the price paid for being an attraction over a regular pizza place. The cost reminds me of Terrance Mann 's (James Earl Jones) dramatic monologue in Field of Dreams (1989): People will come ... . They’ll come ... for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn into your driveway, not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door, as innocent as children, longing for the past. “Of course, we won’t mind if you look around,” you’ll say, “It’s only twenty dollars per person. And they’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. Chuck E. Cheese is a destination pizza place for families and children. If you 're an adult who went as a child, you will not get the full nostalgia feeling. If you 're a kid, or a kid at-heart, you will enjoy your time."
