When I was at BlogHer I had a chance to have a GOOOOODDDD time at the Chuck E. Cheese booth. They had Guitar Hero, a cotton candy machine {ZOMG I love cotton candy} and the nicest people EVER in the whole Expo Hall!
So when I had a chance to take my family & my BFF’s family to Chuck E. Cheese to try their new pizza recipe, I was PUMPED. Austin had never been and I KNEW he would love it. I have taken my nieces before and had a great time. One game I ended up getting like 200 tickets on and they kinda disappeared before I could get all the tickets out {it took like 10 minutes}. Same kind of this happened this time… I was redeeming Austin’s tickets for prizes and he wandered off. Beth & A found him climbed up on the Squee Ball games, trying to catch people’s balls! Oops! Thankfully they stamp your hand and your kids’ hands with matching numbers when you come in so no one can steal your baby {and my kid is super stealable}. We also went on a Thursday evening before school started and it was like desserted. There were just a handful of other families there so we basically had the place to ourselves. No lines, no waiting, just playing :) I know everyone with older kids were getting prepped for a new school year. We couldn’t have timed it more perfectly. It’s fun when there a million people there and fun when there are 5 people there. But you have to admit, having it to yourselves is pretty cool ;)

- Alllllll that pizza just for Austin… ;)
We had 30 tokens and that was just enough for an almost-2-year-old. I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough but it was totally perfect. He got some crayons and stickers {he has a little book he colors in and sticks stickers in. It’s his little planner/journal ;)} and some little bugs.
Chuck E. Cheese is also introducing new birthday party packs that include LONGER times to eat & play and a ticket booth for the birthday kid to win lots of stuff! I did one at BlogHer and it’s SO FUN! You can read more about the new birthday packages here :)
I had soooooo much fun I want to share the experience with you! 3 lucky families are going to win a Guest Pass here on Pickles & Paisleys! That includes a Large Pizza, 4 soft drinks, and 30 tokens!
I received a Guest Pass to use. No other compensation was given. This company is seriously one of my ABSOLUTE favorites to work with, hands down. The greatest people to work for!!!!

I haven’t been to a Chuck E Cheese since I was around 10 years old! We just had one open here again recently but we haven’t made it there yet! I loved the skee ball game when I was little and it’s still a favorite at other pizza places!

My favorite part is checking out and getting tons of random items. But some are fun and they usually last for a while.
I love skee-ball!
My son and I love Chuck E Cheese, we don’t go often though. We love the games to win tickets so he can pick a prize at the end.
