Great place for the kids. They loved it. Pizza isn't horrible, either and they have other choices for those that don't want pizza.
Still great for kids birthday parties. Prices are a little high but not ridiculous. Wednesday has a good deal for all you can play for an hour.
A huge change from when I was a kid. From the character design to the restaurant itself. The pizza tastes much better than what it used to be. They also have wings which I do find to be pleasantly well.
The games are pretty good and I'd say a majority of the games are designed for an age range of about 3+. There are a few that allow you to put a walking baby in (with a restraint belt) that my 1 year old daughter found to be fun. The place has various games from a claw machine to the typical basketball hoop game machine. There's also ski-ball, various token based games, and games like space invaders. There's even a couple small machines that take a snapshot of the user.
The ticket redemption in my opinion is a little off and not in a good way. For the games, you don't necessarily earn a huge amount of tickets and when turning them in, the redemption doesn't really make it worthwhile. My daughter earned a little less than 650 tickets but only got a few penny equivalent pieces of toys as well as a tiny bag of cotton candy. That's also with the employee short changing my ticket count by about 15 tickets.
One of the ticket machines broke down on my daughter and I while we were exchanging the tickets for a receipt, however, the machine did retain the ticket count. In our small party that came with us, there was 8 of us (including 2 kids). We ordered 2 extra large pizzas, 5 drinks, an order of wings, and 2 game cards. We spent about $110 for all of that.
The atmosphere wasn't bad as there weren't a lot of people from when we went during the weekday and at opening.
