The Arcade Floor, Reimagined

Three things changed everything about the play experience. New games rotating in constantly. A jumbo video wall. And a dance floor that dances back.

Fresh Arcade Games

New games arrive constantly, so almost every visit feels different. Skee-ball classics still sit alongside the latest hits. Our technical team targets 99% uptime, because nobody planned a trip around a broken game.

Interactive Dance Floor

The floor lights up under every step. Icons scatter when kids run through them. Dance battles break out spontaneously. And Chuck E. shows up live every visit to keep the party going.

More Than an Arcade. Adventure Zones.

Active play built into the building. Climb, jump, slide, race, and burn off the kind of energy that arcade games alone can’t.

Trampoline Zone

A dedicated trampoline zone for little kids — sized, padded, and supervised for the 3-to-10 crowd. Built to ASTM F2970 trampoline safety standards. The kind of play kids beg for, in a setting parents trust.

Slides, climbing structures, hideouts, and obstacle paths sized for kids who are too big for the play place at the burger chain and too young for the laser-tag arena. Capes optional. Energy required.

Fresh Shows. Live Appearances.

Chuck E. shows up live every visit — and there’s always something new on the video wall.

Brand-new shows starring Chuck E. and the band drop on the jumbo video wall throughout the year. KIDZ BOP® music videos run on rotation, paired perfectly with the interactive dance floor. And the one and only Chuck E. Cheese makes live appearances every single visit, leading dance parties and posing for photos. Entertainment isn’t a sideshow here — it’s the whole point.

Special Events, All Year Long

There’s always something happening on the calendar — seasonal celebrations, themed parties, character meet-and-greets, and the occasional surprise. Halloween brings spooky-but-not-scary takeovers across the country. Summer means special character moments and limited-time menu items. Winter holidays come with their own twist. Watch the events page or join the Birthday Club to know first.

Free to Attend

Most special events are included with regular admission — no extra ticket required.

A Brand-New Birthday Show

Chuck E. Cheese has been making birthday kids the star of the show for nearly 50 years — half a million birthday parties a year, every year. The newest addition: a refreshed live show built around the birthday star, complete with a stage moment, a Ticket Blaster spin, the cheering crowd. Every birthday is a big deal.

Giving Back, on Purpose

Chuck E. Cheese has long been a place where every kid feels welcome. The newest chapter is making that work visible — through partnerships with organizations that help kids and families thrive.

Autism Speaks & Sensory Sensitive Sundays

Through our partnership with Autism Speaks and our nationwide Sensory Sensitive Sundays program — the first Sunday of every month at participating fun centers — we make Chuck E. Cheese genuinely accessible to families on the spectrum. Lower lights. Quieter sound. Trained team members. The same fun, with the sensory load dialed back.
