My favorite part of McDonalds was always those deep fried apple pies. Those had to of been produced in heaven.

ETA: And the ice cream machine always worked.

We played hot potato with some bean bags at mine…and plenty of time in that disgusting cesspool of a ball pit.

Fun times

Someone pointed out to me how you never see the inside gym thing with the plastic balls anymore and I never realized it until then.

I remember Gremice (the big arse purple thing), Ronald, and Mr. Moon showing up at mine when I turned 6. I remember playing in that Petri dish playground and my parents making me go straight to the bathtub when I got home. Good times.

Yeah, I wouldn't take my son to McD, crying because dad would not let him go in the plastic balls was inevitable. That was the nastiest idea ever.

Pretty much every friend of mine had a bday party there for a few years. It was THE place to go.

Hell yes. The old school Playplace McDonald's had was awesome as a young kid in the 80s. Wed play cops and robbers and take the robbers to the hamburger jail that was shaped like a burger with bars.

My dad owned a bakery. At one point, he worked with McDonald’s to design the cake they delivered. I’ll have to look, but we still have the original art work for the cake design. Thanks for this thread. I’ll have to go find that now.
