What do you think about birthday parties at fast food restaurants? (McDonalds, Chick Fil A, etc...)

How do you feel about these locations for birthday parties? Do you not attend if your family does not eat fast food?

Chik fila is good and not bad, McDonald's isn't good, I would attend Wrust moron skips because of food.

We very rarely eat fast food. But my kid went to a friend's party at McDonald!s. Four chicken nuggets ain't gonna hurt nobody.

Is there an activity or just playing in the play area?

Honestly? I would think it's a little low-rent but my kid would probably love it.

We don't eat fast food really at all, but if my kid was invited to a friend's party at a fast food place, I'd let her/him go (I'd be surprised though!).

I never think about it.

(except to answer your question)

We would only go if the child was good friends. I don't like the play areas as they rarely get cleaned and are small. Depending on where, my child would not eat the food. Noodles and Co and a few others would be great, but he does not like McDonalds, Chick Fil A, etc. as he does not eat meat and very particular about his fries.

Ah, brings back memories of 1970s birthday parties at McDonalds! I wondered if they still did them.

But to your question OP - if my child was invited to a party at one of these places, we'd go, and we don't eat much fast food (it's a party!).

My brother had a McDonald's bday party, but that was his first bday party in the USA. We thought it was a big deal. Yes, we were so FOB. Anyway, I'd let my kid go-- why not?

I haven't seen one in about 30 years. Do they still offer them? To be honest, I'm not sure what would be fun about it... I think indoor play areas and fast food were huge novelties in the 70s, but are so common now that most kids don't find McD or Chick fil A that interesting.

I think it's hilarious that a chic-fil-a ad is on my screen right now! Anyway, I agree with PP.

I was at McDonalds the other Saturday and there was a birthday party going on. It was crazy chaotic with all the other diners and their kids playing in the play area which didn't look that clean. Probably similar at other establishments. Wouldn't recommend it.

We are vegetarians and there's not much except fries and shakes for my kids to eat at most fast food restaurants (except Taco Bell). So probably not, but I guess it would depend on the situation.

This would be how I would handle it. Its a party to show appreciation to your friend, if its at McDs or a park with paper plates you go and teach your children to be gracious.

We are veggie too - taco bell, subway, roy rogers (they have mac and cheese), and a few others are fine. My kid if desperate will get a cheese sandwich.
