Food and drink

Chuck E. Cheese offers a range of food and drink options to suit your birthday party needs. Their birthday party packages include pizza and drinks for each child, with the option to add on extras like ice cream, balloons, and additional food items. The venue also provides tableware, such as cups, plates, forks, napkins, and utensils, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own.

If you're looking for something more substantial, Chuck E. Cheese's menu also includes wings, sandwiches, and a fresh salad bar. They also sell birthday cakes in two sizes: an 8" round cake that serves approximately 12 guests, and a 1/4 sheet-size cake that serves about 18-20 guests. You can even customise the cakes with their Edible Image® selection.

For the adults attending the party, you can order large specialty pizzas separately from the party package. You can also add drinks with unlimited refills, or order canned drinks at a lower price through their app. It's recommended to check with the venue beforehand to see if they will honour app coupons as part of the party package.

If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, be sure to contact the venue in advance to discuss your options. They will be happy to accommodate your needs and suggest upgrades or alternatives to ensure your party is a success.

Live show

After about 45 minutes of game time, Chuck E. Cheese will perform his world-famous birthday show live! This is the only birthday venue where Chuck E. Cheese performs a live show, available in English, Spanish, and ASL, written to make the birthday star feel special. During the show, your host will help serve pizza to your guests. After the show, Chuck E. will hang around to take pictures with everyone.

The birthday show is included in all birthday party packages.

Ticket Blaster

The Ticket Blaster is a key feature of a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. It is a machine that has been a fixture at Chuck E. Cheese locations since 2010. The machine is exclusive to birthday parties and is a special device that allows users to grab as many tickets as they can within 30 seconds as they blow around in the tank. The birthday child, or "Birthday Star", gets to go first and is given a time limit of 30 seconds to grab as many tickets as possible. These tickets can then be redeemed for prizes. The Ticket Blaster is normally used after the cake is served.

The Ticket Blaster is an exciting experience for the birthday child as family and friends watch and cheer them on! The tickets are worth different values, with some being worth 100 or even 1,000 bonus tickets. The birthday child will be delighted to use their tickets for extra goodies and large prizes.

For a limited time, at participating locations, the birthday child will receive double the tickets they catch in the Ticket Blaster. This offer is valid for parties held between November 15, 2023, and December 31, 2023. The tickets cannot be transferred or duplicated and do not have a cash value.

The Ticket Blaster is included in all birthday party packages at Chuck E. Cheese. The birthday child will also receive a super upgraded prize, such as 1,000 bonus tickets, ensuring they get a great prize.

Table setup

Chuck E. Cheese will decorate the table with their fun-themed tableware, including a Chuck E. Cheese tablecloth, cups, pizza plates, and birthday plates, as well as a complete table setup of forks, napkins, and utensils. Parents can put presents on the birthday table.

You can also bring your own table decorations and additional decorations if you wish. Chuck E. Cheese provides a list of party decoration ideas, and depending on your party theme, they might be able to provide a birthday cake that matches. For example, they offer Paw Patrol and Barbie-themed cakes.

You can also add awesome upgrades to your party package, such as ice cream, more balloons, or additional food.
