That place is the worst. If you want to make sure your kid's birthday has nothing special about it, go to Chuck E. Cheese.

Always 10 birthday parties going on simultaneously, impossibly crowded, enforced party turnover, maximum stress level.

When a Ground Round went out of business in a nearby town, my wife and I played with the idea of opening a Chuck E Cheese, as the closest in existance is 20 miles away.

Before putting too much effort into it, we decided to pay a visit to the nearest Chuck E Cheese to see if it was still the place we recalled from our youths.

It took less than a minute to form our decision. We sure dodged that bullet.
