Ah, Chuck E Cheese! Great memories! The last time we took the kids there my H and I were sitting in a room with a huge wall size TV watching a football game when an employee brought our 4 yr old to us and informed us she had been running up and down the skee ball lane. Good times! She's 43 now BTW and much better behaved. |
Chucky Cheese is gross with a bunch of ignorant and trashy parents behaving badly. Like the People of Walmart for play places |
Chuck E Cheese is a lot of fun for kids, and the haters are pinky in the air snobs.
But not all of them, I mean, I proudly wave that pinky around at Chuck E Cheese while rolling my skee ball with an appropriately classy amount of delight. |

Chucky cheese is gross but kids think it’s paradise, it’s cheap, kids love cardboard pizza so don’t overthink it… slum it buy some beers, but do post up Next to the bathrooms so you can keep your eyes peeled to make sure no perverts try to take your kiddos to the bathroom… otherwise sit back and relax.
Tacky or not, who cares, the one truism of life. Embrace the Chuckie days. Trust thr Chuckies days are long but the years are short and they are some of the best, low stakes, gravy days of child rearing. Man I miss those days! Enjoy! |
Yeah but you are mixing infection vectors across a much wider population and many schools. And in class there aren’t nearly as many high touch surfaces and lots more handwashing and sanitizer through the day. |
I love this piece about the aftermath of Chuck E Cheese:

They’re gross. I got pink eye from one. |
I’m always fascinated when adults get sick from stuff like this. Wash your hands and stop touching your face. OP, I can’t vouch for the location in Alexandria. If you choose Dave and Busters instead, go on Wednesday when the games are half off. |
+100 The games are actually fun, the kids adore it, and the time passes pretty quickly. Dirty little secret- I actually like the pizza… ![]() |
I agree, but I also shop at Walmart (great prices on organic!), and my kids think Chuck E CHeese is fun, so I take them on occasion. I don't think I'd go if I were particularly worried about illness. It's a germ pit. |
It’s not about tacky. It is down right trashy. At least the one I went to was. I heard several parents swearing at their kids, saw kids being physically disciplined, overheard a pretty loud and heated argument between adults. No thanks. I really don’t want my kids in the middle of that. |
Are you sure you’re not talking about Walmart? |
