I remember they had this huge ice cream dish, I think it was called "The Zoo" for parties. It had little plastic animals all over the top of it. I would always come away having eaten waaaay too much. Ahhh, warm fuzzies of days gone by. I used to love Farrells. I remember they had this huge ice cream dish, I think it was called “The Zoo” for parties.

One was all you needed because every one of your friends had the same passage, so you were at Farrell's every weekend for those 5 years. Everyone wanted to be the bday king/queen at least once, so you got to keep all those cheap plastic monkeys to yourself. It was fun, traumatic & jungle overload all at the same time, much like its modern-day cousin: Chuck E Cheese.</p> <p>I still hate monkeys to this day.</p> Being from Sunny So Cal, it was a rite of passage to have at least 1 bday party at Farrell’s between the ages of 5 – 10.

I still hate monkeys to this day.

We used to go there with hangovers and just hope for no birthdays. While attending UO I lived next door to the Farrell’s in Eugene. We used to go there with hangovers and just hope for no birthdays.

I remember having one of my birthdays there! And yes, I REMEMBER the attention you got if you were the birthday boy or girl--and the boatload of ice cream. Farrell’s was a fun place.
