How many 32 year old Torontonians have never been to Chuck E. Cheese? Until today, I was counted amongst those who had never had the privilege.
Before you shake your head and wonder how it is I went over three decades without such an experience I should point out that today was also my wife's first time going to Chuck's. On a whim, we decided to see what all the fuss is about and took the kids out for games, pizza and a giant rodent. It's all about living precariously through them, you see. Here are pictures from the day.
I actually had a great time throwing my tokens into the air hockey table and that game where you roll the ball up a ramp and get points based on which hole it falls into. The games were fine, it's the pizza that was horrible. I'm a big fan of the 'za and even bad pizza usually tastes good to these taste buds, but that Chuck E. Cheese pizza was brutal. I could barely eat six slices.
Next time, I'm just going for the air hockey. The kids can come along too, if they wish.
