Imagine 500 children in one room, 25 birthday parties going on at one time, "It's a Small World" playing incessantly over the loudspeaker. Hourly renditions of the Hokey Pokey or the Chicken Dance. A giant plastic climbing toy that holds 200 kids. Video games. Easels and pens. Mechanical pony rides. Rate this scene on a scale of 1 to 10. The higher your rating, the closer you probably are to 6 years old. The place is Caesarland, an amusement park attached to a Little Caesar's. Like Discovery Zone with pizza, or Chuck E. Cheese without giant animatronic animals. It's one of seven in the United States (five in the Detroit area, two in Chicago), and if you're a 6-year-old, or have one in your family, you'll probably be going to a birthday party there soon.
