We went to Chuck E. Cheese's today in Manchester and here is my review.....
Date: 11/13/2008
Parking: Plenty. It is located in a strip mall off of South Willow Street. (Across from the Mall of NH)
Gate/Admission: It is free to get in. You can purchase tokens to play games or ride the kiddie rides. Otherwise, it is free for the children to play on the climbing structures!
Birthday Parties: Yes
Bathrooms: There is a men's room and a women's room. Both have changing tables.
Cleanliness: We went early in the day and left around 12:30 pm. The place was very clean, but then again there were only a few of us there. I have been on the weekend before and it can be very crazy. Obviously, on the weekend tables are messy and there is lots of stuff hanging around on the floor. Not today!
Store: They serve food. They have pizza, salad, hot dogs, french fries, sodas, etc. Prices seem reasonable. I notice a lot of coupons with family deals in weekend flyers. It's the kind of place where you order at a counter, find a table, place a number on the table and the staff delivers it when it is done. Be prepared on the weekend to have a bit of a tough time finding a free table. People tend to leave jackets, etc on the seats even when they are not eating.
Overall: I have been before when my son was a bit smaller. He wasn't able to do much then and really did not like the Chuck E. Cheese that walks around and waves to the kids! We did not see the costume Chuck E. Cheese today only the mechanical one, which he was okay with. It was a good place for my son to play indoors today. He climbed around on the toddler structure and liked the small carousel horse ride. He rode on a few other small token eating rides, but all in all I only spent $5.00 in tokens and we were there for about an hour and I was okay with that!

Does this Chuck E. Cheese still serve alcohol? I always thought that was a TERRIBLE idea for too many reasons to list here! My kids are teens now, so we no longer hang out there, but we were there A LOT when they were little!
Hi, Judy -
I didn't notice when I was there, but I just called and they do still serve beer and wine.

I find it serves a purpose for a rainy day when you just need to get out somewhere. My son just enjoys putting the tokens in the slot. One thing that I really do like is that they stamp your entire party in invisible ink and check it before you leave. I also think they are great with their prize area. If you do not have the correct amount of tickets you can pay the difference in cash $.01 = 1 token. I think it makes it a little more cost effective, so that you can have a good time, but do not have to waste a lot of money to get to a higher prize.
