What New Games and Entertainment Are at Chuck E. Cheese?
Three things changed everything about the play experience. New games rotating in constantly. A jumbo video wall. And a dance floor that dances back.
Jumbo Video Wall
Wall-to-wall, audio synced throughout the building. KIDZ BOP® music videos, brand-new shows from Chuck E. and friends, plus exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else. Concert energy, every visit.
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.
What Are the Adventure Zones at Chuck E. Cheese?
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.
Superhero Playground
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.
What Shows and Live Entertainment Does Chuck E. Cheese Have?
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.
What Special Events Does Chuck E. Cheese Have?
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.
What Is the New Chuck E. Cheese 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 fully rebuilt live show centered on the birthday star. A personal Chuck E. moment on stage, a Ticket Blaster spin, the whole crowd cheering. Every birthday is a big deal.

If you’re going to come back regularly, you shouldn’t pay full price every time. Two programs do the math for you.
Summer Fun Pass
Unlimited summer visits at one fixed price. Built for the families who’d otherwise be at home asking what they’re going to do today. Available seasonally each year.
Membership
Unlimited visits, included gameplay, exclusive Member events, free birthday upgrades, and member-only menu offers. The way to make Chuck E. Cheese a regular habit, not an occasion.
What Charities Does Chuck E. Cheese Partner With?
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.
Round-up donations at the register go straight to Autism Speaks year-round.
