Best Place To Take Your Child When He's Driving You Insane

Showbiz Pizza

We know it's really commercial and unhip, but any place whose mascot is a gigantic rodent is okay by us. There are millions of machines, toys, air hockey games etc. It's really, really loud and there's enough stuff to satisfy even the grumpiest youngster. The pizza is horrible, but who cares? Plus, they have a stage where 6-foot tall electronic puppets put on a show every 30 minutes or so. You can also bond with the many, many shell-shocked, exhausted parents who frequent the place. Lastly, they sell beer, so you can sip a cool one while watching Junior emerge from a huge pit filled with multi-colored plastic balls.
