Yeah, it really exists. They mostly serve Pizza there and there's games and other stuff geared towards kids, although they're not as popular as they once were.

Probably because back in 2003/2004 people were getting shot and everything else there!

You should do a search of the threads - there were some pretty funny ones about it. For some weird reason there was a lot of action at those places a few years back!

It is geared towards kids and has video games, etc. There's a Chuck E. Cheese not too far from me, and I drive past it every night on my way home from work. I went to many a birthday party there as a kid.

Man that place was so popular when I was a little kid. I had a few birthday parties there and all my little friends did as well. I use to love the "live" band they had with all the characters. We still see a lot of them and they're always packed.
Anyway, they have the typical pizza and cokes and it's packed with games that of course you need tokens to play and each game you play you win tickets... the more tickets you have the better the "prize" you can buy with them. There was also a huge indoor playground at the one we went to. That's how they did it back then atleast.

They don't have the animatronic band anymore? That sucks. Although maintenance on those things would probably be a bitch. I loves going there for birthdays as a kid. It was still Showbiz Pizza when I first went.

The one near my apt does. I went there for my 21st birthday as a joke. We made it just on time to see them dance and sing.

Actually rather creepy, those things are...
