A visit to Game Pazzo in Downers Grove

I took my 2 boys and 1 of their friends to Game Pazzo in Downers Grove last weekend. They thought that they were in heaven. Game Pazzo is a huge video game faciltiy that has all of the home gaming systems avalible for play. You can bring in your own games or rent one of theirs. It is not often that I give my kids the okay to play video games for hours and in fact even to encourage it. When we walked to Game Pazzo we, like all other newcomers, were shown around the facility. The space is very large and clean. There are tons of huge screen tvs ready for play. There is a pc area where visitors can play pc games and if you have an account to an online game such as World of Warcraft you can login. I used the computers to get a bit of work done while the boys enjoyed themselves trying out new games and diffrent game systems. There was a young boy's birthday party going on and they seemed to be having a great time. In the back there is a full bar and a restaurant area. They recently added kids meal options to their menu. The prices are decent which is unusual when a business knows that they have you captured.

As a mom of Chicago area kids and one half of kidwinks.com, I will keep Game Pazzo in mind as great way to try new games and game systems before buying; nice for larger groups who want to play together; a great opportunity for parents to hangout, have a few drinks, and some food while the kids play; a nice place for the dads to get away; another rainy day option and as a cool place for a kids birthday party.
