Party packages

The $99.99 package includes 6 kids and offers 2 hours of unlimited gameplay, upgraded prizes, unlimited soft drinks, and the Chuck E. Cheese birthday experience. This includes the Birthday Show, a live performance by Chuck E. Cheese, and the Ticket Blaster Experience, where the birthday child has 30 seconds to grab as many flying tickets as possible for bigger prizes.

The Mega Fun package includes all the features of the $99.99 package, plus 2 slices of pizza per child, an additional large pizza, Dippin' Dots® Ice Cream for each child, and a dedicated party host. The birthday child also receives a super-upgraded prize of 2,000 Bonus E-Tickets and a collectible Chuck E. Cheese tote bag.

The Ultimate package includes all the features of the Mega package, plus two extra large pizzas, even bigger prize upgrades, and ice cream for each child. The birthday child receives an amazing upgraded prize of 4,000 Bonus E-Tickets, a collectible tote bag, and a double-ticket allocation in the Ticket Blaster Experience.

Chuck E. Cheese also offers Early Access parties on weekends before the venue opens to the public, providing more space and greater access to games.

Food and drink

The $99.99 package includes two hours of gameplay and unlimited soft drinks for six children. Pizza and a dedicated party host are also included in this package. For an additional cost, you can add on extras such as ice cream, balloons, and extra food.

The Mega Fun package includes two slices of freshly-made pizza per child, one additional large one-topping pizza, and Dippin' Dots® Ice Cream for each child. This package also comes with a dedicated party host, ensuring your party runs smoothly and your guests are well taken care of.

The Ultimate package includes all the perks of the Mega Fun package, plus two extra large one-topping pizzas and a dedicated party host.

If you're looking for a more comprehensive food and drink offering, the Ultimate package is a great choice. However, if you're on a tighter budget, the $99.99 package still offers excellent value with its unlimited soft drinks and pizza option.

In addition to these packages, Chuck E. Cheese also offers an Early Access package, which is available on Saturday and Sunday mornings before the venue opens to the public. This package ensures limited parties in the showroom, providing more space and greater access to games. While the food and drink options for this package are not specified, it is likely that they can be added on for an additional cost.

No matter which package you choose, Chuck E. Cheese's food and drink options are sure to satisfy your guests' cravings and fuel their fun-filled celebration.

Games and activities

Chuck E. Cheese offers a wide range of games and activities to keep kids entertained during birthday parties. The venue features a variety of arcade games, including those grouped by age range, ensuring that children can find games they love and that parents feel good about them playing.

In addition to the arcade games, there are several classic birthday party games that can be organised, such as Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Twister, and Charades. These games can help to keep kids engaged and prevent boredom, especially if they need a break from the arcade games.

One of the highlights of a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party is the exclusive Ticket Blaster experience. The birthday boy or girl steps into a wind tunnel filled with ticket vouchers and has 30 seconds to grab as many as possible, including the Magic Ticket worth 500 bonus tickets. This interactive activity adds excitement to the party and gives the birthday star a chance to win big.

The venue also provides a live show featuring Chuck E. Cheese himself, which is available in English, Spanish, and ASL. This interactive performance is designed to make the birthday star feel special and create memorable moments.

With unlimited gameplay included in the party packages, kids can enjoy the games throughout the duration of the party. Additionally, all guests receive a Play Pass card, allowing them to redeem prizes based on their gameplay performance.

Decorations

Chuck E. Cheese's takes care of all the decorations for your party, including table decorations, place settings, setup, and cleanup. If you want to bring additional decorations, you are free to do so. The venue also provides a list of party decoration ideas and can provide a birthday cake that matches your party theme, such as Paw Patrol™ or Barbie™.

If you're looking for a fun and colourful party theme, consider a superhero theme and ask your guests to dress up as their favourite superhero. You can decorate the venue with superhero-themed tablecloths, streamers, and plates, or even hang up some action-packed posters or cutouts.

Another idea is to choose a colour-themed party, such as pink, and decorate the venue with pink streamers, balloons, and tableware. You could even ask your guests to wear pink to add to the fun.

If your child has a favourite character or show, you can base the party theme around that. For example, a Paw Patrol™-themed party could include Paw Patrol™ tableware, balloons, and a cake featuring the characters.

Don't forget to take advantage of Chuck E. Cheese's party coordinator, who can help you plan the setup and provide balloons. They will also be happy to suggest other awesome upgrades to optimise your party decorations.

Invitations

Chuck E. Cheese offers free online invitations by Evite through their website. These invitations are fun, Chuck E. Cheese-themed, and customisable. You can send them to your party guests via email or text message.

If you prefer, you can also create your own invitations or head to a party store to buy some.

It is recommended that you send out your invitations four weeks in advance. This will give your guests plenty of notice and help you confirm the number of attendees. It is also a good idea to ask your guests to RSVP so that you can get an accurate count.

If your child is of school age, you may need to invite all of their classmates to the party. Check with the school to see if this is encouraged.

If your child has close friends, it is a good idea to check with their parents before finalising the date and time. You could even offer a couple of options for them to choose from.
