Chuck E Cheese’s

20 years ago I thought this place was fun with great pizza. The rat was kinda scary though, and his fake band wasn’t that good either. Pretty sure i got in a fight in the ball pit, but hey that’s part of growing up right? Life lessons are learned at Chuck E Cheese’s.

Small, not exactly the cleanest place and the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. I will never take my kids back here, you would think the bathrooms would be up kept considering children are here all the time but it’s unreal how dirty it is. Management definitely needs to step up their game. I’d LOVE to see the kitchen if the bathroom is that bad, it’s probably just as disgusting.

Though the kids might rate this 5 stars, this is my review. :) I have never been to a Chuck E Cheese before and only had a rough idea of what to expect. We were greeted by a helpful employee who seemed accustomed to handling parents with overexcited children and complete confusion over the protocol for enjoying the place. He told us exactly what to do and even answered the kid’s questions patiently and with a smile. The place is like a Las Vegas casino floor for kids, except more noises, more blinking lights, brighter carpeting and of course opportunities to spend more money. (Sadly absent were the free grown up drinks.)
The coin system for playing games was simple and organized. The kids loved holding the coins and choosing which game to play. The seating areas are within play area and it is easy to relax at a table while keeping an eye on the kiddos.
On a day I was about to pull my hair out, this was a great solution for playing on a rainy day, which we had far too many of this summer. Though is was very busy, we never waited in line and it was actually nice to have other kids around for socialization. It’s definitely on my list for the next time I need to tire the kids out. With all the different noises, other kids, bright colors and excitement to be had, the rest of the day was a breeze.

This my first visit to Chuck E. Cheese, though my kids have been before. I worked for 8 years in management of similar facilities. I shied away from bringing my own kids for the obvious reasons that was quite familiar with — crowds, cleanliness, expense. Plus I’d heard bad things.
As I said, my kids had been before and begged me to bring them. I promised we would come in the Summer on a weekday when it wasn’t too busy.
That day was today and I must say, I’m quite impressed. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean, the pizza was decent, the salad bar looked good (though I didn’t have any) and Chuck E. made a few appearances, always playful (as a matter of fact he just mocked me typing on my phone. If he only knew what I was typing!)
Most impressively, I knew the games were 1 token each, unheard of in 2013, but has no idea they were so modern and impeccably maintained.
I saw the technician around and the manager testing the games.
Everyone from the greeter, to food service, to Chuck E. himself was spot on!
A great value all around!
Kudos. We will be back again … Though maybe not on a Saturday! I spoke to the manager myself and he said he has worked hard to turn it around the past 3 years. Give it another go!

This place has seen better days in the 1990s, now the place looks like a dump and the Animatronics were in need of repair the last time I was there. They seem to be lacking in arcade games unlike they did before.

I have to say I’m a fan of this place. This location has a nice mix of arcades and those ceiling tubes the kids love to crawl in. The birthday party area is decent in size and the view is unobstructed so if your child runs off, chances are good you can keep a decent eye on them from the distance.
My only issue with this location is that the «kid check» can be flawed. While staff is supposed to be checking the children walking out with the adults there are times the employees walk off and parents naturally don’t want to wait around and simply leave with children in hand. I think the purpose of the check is defeated if it’s not done properly.
