If you haven’t been to Go Bananas with your kids, I recommend checking it out! This location in Norridge, Il is comparable to Chuck E Cheese’s, but it has tons of rides! I have been there for children’s birthday parties a number of times and my kids always get excited. There are games from which you earn tickets and you can save those tickets to “buy” prizes. The prizes aren’t anything to write home about, but my kids love to get them, so that’s what really matters!
The best part about Go Bananas is the rides. They have Bumper Cars, a turning airplane-type up & down ride, a mini roller coaster and more! I took both my 4 and 7 year-old (along with a friend) and had a blast. My daughter is little, but likes to try everything. She was too small to go on any rides by herself, so I went with her. That mini roller coaster is small, but fast! We were cackling, screaming and having a blast! When it ended, the gentleman was nice enough to let us stay on since there was only one person in line, so we went over and over. Needless to say, by the time we were ready to eat something, my stomach was on a little roller coaster of itself!
Go Bananas offers food (think pizza and wings) as well as beverages and snacks. It’s a popular destination for birthday parties and they are very used to that kind of service. If you are looking for a place to host your part, take a look at Go Bananas! And be sure to check their Go Bananas coupons and offers page to get a great deal on your visit!
