Chuck E Cheese’s

Let me preface this with my daughter had a great time and pretty much everything went right at a party she was at. I’m writing this in the context of being the former manager of an unrelated and not competing game room.
Had my shop been in the condition this one was I would have been written up, most of the staff would have.
We’ll start with initial impressions — we were the first ones in that day. My daughter ran toward the climbing/​tube structure and immediately picked up a well used lollipop off of the entry climb area. There was also a wrapper of some sort higher up. The lollipop was well within adult vision and cleaning range. Cleaned that off of her.
The place had been given a wipedown the night before, but it had been rode hard and put up wet. The upper structure appeared filthy. Don’t think anyone’d cleaned it. Going to preface here I may be mistaken as I wasn’t actually in the upper structure. I just ended up with a dirty kid.
Party time was great, food was good, the animatronic Chuck E Cheese had stains on the shirt where it appeared someone had caked him a day or two back. Live action Chuck was fine.
A guest at the party handed me a key thinking I’d dropped it as it was so odd looking. It was an ace key, the ones that get you either into the games, or the ones that get you into the cash to change machines. I didn’t test which one it was, I just handed it to the employee who was handling the party. Losing that key was a several hundred dollar proposition at my store as the locks would have had to have been changed.
As the party wore on, unrelated children started wandering into the party area, there was no fencing off. Not that we really cared, every kid was having a good time. One random kid who it was her birthday but had not purchased a birthday party tried edging in on the actual party girl’s time, but nothing too annoying.
The person who was directing the party/​cutting cake/​etc did a great job wrangling kiddos, let a few into the ticket tornado, I think they walked away with 3 tickets. It was just fun for the kids.
Skee ball was down to two lanes, the first missing all balls since the opening and the last a coin jam. There was a coin shooter jammed up. A coin accepter literally fell out of a machine. The ticket counters were skipping tickets (put five in, get 3 – 4 credited,) and generally every fourth game had something wrong with it.
Now, the games were clean, they’d cleaned those up well.
Party enjoyed it, most people had to get a machine worked on or told of lost tokens. Needs a scrubbing and some work, still fun.

Had my son’s 4^th birthday party here. The staff was amazing! The helper that i had to help me with my party, had to have been the best. He was understanding and made sure that i had everything i needed in a timely manner.

This place is always clean and the employees are super friendly and helpful! Love this place!

My grandson is with me for the summer. I took him here today. It is clean, safe, and my grandson had fun. He enjoyed the pizza too. For me, the pizza was okay. Seeing him have fun and happy made me happy.

While I miss my Showbiz Pizza days (there was a full band then!) this place does it for my toddler.
They have tons of video games and a kiddie area with little rides and such. Everything is only a quarter= better than anywhere else!
The highlight for him is seeing Chuck sing! Note that, much to my son’s chagrin, even animatronics take short breaks!
Their pizza tastes pretty bland and processed. I’ve found that the all-​you-​can-​eat salad bar is the way to go. No one has complained yet that my toddler also grazes off of my plate.
If you go early-​ish on a weekday, you can usually avoid the crowds. Take a couple of Ibuprofen before you go, and you’ll be a’ight.

Took a date here once, it’s really fun and clean and definitely great for kids. However, I have to let loose now and again and let my inner child out. The pizza is good and the customer service is excellent, but the shows and games are where the fun goes to 11. Nothing beats skeeball and watching the animatronic animals serenade you with synthpop never gets old. It’s cheap and fun and you’re never too old to have fun there.

I remember Chuck E Cheese’s from when I was a kid as a fun, but somewhat dark and creepy place to have a birthday party. Now I think it has really changed it’s image, and it pretty fun for the kids. When you walk in, an employee stamps the kids (ANYONE under 18) with a UV stamp on their hands, then stamps the accompanying adult with the matching stamp. In order to leave, the child must be with the adult. It seems like a good system, and I would say it is, except when I saw some 16 year olds come in to play games, and then try to leave. The employees wouldn’t let them leave because they weren’t with an adult (note: they didn’t enter with an adult either.) Uh, hello! They DROVE here! It’s not like someone is kidnapping them. Anyway, they mean well.
