Wow! What an awesome indoor children's amusement park and restaurant! Maybe you've heard of it like me or have been there, but its been awhile. You just have to visit Planet Pizza again! Maybe you didn't know new owners purchased Planet Pizza about a year ago have been doing lots of renovations.

There are a variety of things you can do there! Now that the bigger kids are going back to school, it's a great place to take your younger kids during the day. When my son was younger we LOVED going here! The nice thing is Planet Pizza has been around for so long almost everyone knows about it. It has gone through several owners with improvements each time.

For a one-time charge of only $7.99, your kids can play and ride the rides throughout the entire place for the whole day.If your little ones are too little or afraid to try the rides, they can play in the soft play area with tubes, tunnels, slides, and a ball pit (its all twice the size of any McDonald's play area!).

Kids ages 12 and under would really enjoy Planet Pizza the most. For the older ones in that age range, they have video games and arcade-type token games. For the parents' entertainment there are plenty of benches to rest while you watch TV on their new Projector screen TV and Flat screen TVs or you can just bring a book and relax at a table knowing your kids are off playing in a safe environment.

Parents are welcome to ride with your small children (except on the airplane ride and maybe the teacup ride since they have tiny seats). Some of the rides include Ferrari Bumper Cars, a Pirate Ship, and Roller Coaster (that I loved)!

I haven't even mentioned the pizza yet. It is the cheesiest pizza I have ever tasted! It is SO delicious! My 3 year old ate 3 slices and wanted more before I reminded him that his stomach was small and....we still needed to try the pirate ship ride :)!

Planet Pizza has a TOT SPOT softplay area designed for crawlers through age 2 and located just outside the main softplay area away from the bigger kids. Bench seating surrounds the play area for Moms to sit and chat.  This area features a Little Tikes Tree house perfect for those small crawlers, a Light house with 2 slides for the toddlers and soft blocks to play with.

Planet Pizza Now offers Animaland where you can make your own stuffed animal with over 40 animals to choose from.  They have really cute names like "Chuckles the Monkey" or "Hippity the Rabbit." Animals are reasonably priced at $12.50 or $18/each. Clothes and shoes, boots and "animal sounds" are available for purchase.

The last, but not least, service they provide is birthday parties! For very reasonable prices they offer a variety of packages. Check their website for party package details.

Remember to take your Planet Pizza coupon with you for savings!
