I know, but it's Chuck E Cheese. That dirty, crowded place with bad pizza you remember from your childhood. Ah, but Chuck E Cheese has a few things going for it that you might not have considered. The first is those black lights. You don't know about those black lights?

When you first walk into Chuck E Cheese, you and your children get stamped with identical numbers, which can only be seen beneath a black light. With only one entrance/exit (and that guarded by a black-light-wielding attendant), your kids can't get out of the building unless you are with them. So inside, you can relax and maybe even let them out of your sight for a few minutes, because child abduction and wandering cannot happen here.

The Roseville Chuck E Cheese is also cleaner than that Chuck E Cheese of your memory, though the pizza is still pretty bad. Visit the Chuck E Cheese website before you go to get a coupon--that will usually get you a discount on enough tokens to keep your kids busy for a couple of hours. Then sit back and relax, enjoy a slice of bad pizza and let them play!
