How To Celebrate Your Kid's Next Birthday At Chuck E. Cheese's

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese’s. The opinions and text are all mine.

Memories of my childhood were brought back to life this weekend when I saw the look on our boys’ faces as we entered Chuck E. Cheese’s.

Although this wasn’t their first visit, they loved the thought of celebrating their birthdays together at Chuck E. Cheese’s. Not having to set up decorations or deal with picky eaters was a blessing. I mean, who doesn’t love Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza? Even the adults were devouring the pizza and wings!

After a wonderful time at the Chuck E. Cheese’s in the Kendall Village Center in Miami, we knew we had to share our experience with our readers. Below are a handful of tips for those of you who are looking to plan your child’s next birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s:

1. Mark your calendars!

Whenever you’re planning a birthday for your little one, you want to make sure everyone’s on the same boat. Find out whether or not certain dates work best for your family and friends. Once you’ve set up a certain timeframe of when you’d like to host your party, contact your local Chuck E. Cheese’s and see which dates work best. Personally, I’d go with the weekend.

You can reserve a VIP Party on Saturday or Sunday and get the whole party area to yourself when you choose to host your party during the earliest timeslot before the restaurant opens, for one hour!

Don’t worry if you can’t host your birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s on a weekend, there’s always All You Can Play on Wednesdays.

2. Choose a party package.

Finding the right amount of food isn’t always easy when you’re planning a birthday party. Thankfully, Chuck E. Cheese’s has the Eat More Play More Package for birthday parties. Recommended for ages 8+, the Eat More Play More Birthday Package includes: three slices of pizza and drinks per child; 50+ points/tokens; two hours reserved table space; Ticket Blaster experience with a chance to catch the Golden Ticket; and a dedicated party host.

There are new cakes to choose from which range from circular to sheet cakes, and new party themes to choose from, including Dressed in Pink and Party Like A Rock Star.

3. Don’t Second Guess It!

One of the many perks to booking a birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s is how convenient it is for parents of more than one child.

We booked our party for the boys in less than 10 minutes through the easy online reservation system and received a confirmation email within seconds of exiting the reservation window on my laptop. We even got free invitations to share with our family and friends!
