DALLAS (April 8, 2026) – Chuck E. Cheese today announced the 2026 Summer Fun Pass, available at participating locations nationwide. At the same price points as 2025, a pass purchased today is valid immediately for unlimited visits, game play and food discounts through Labor Day, September 7, 2026. Chuck E. Cheese is not a summer outing. It is the summer plan!
Family budgets are under pressure this summer. The cost of summer childcare and entertainment has climbed, and parents are making harder choices about where to spend. The Summer Fun Pass starts at $54.99, is valid immediately — no waiting, no activation window — and covers unlimited visits through September 7. A family that visits just twice with the Bronze pass recoups the full cost compared to buying games individually.

In 2025, nearly 300,000 families turned to the Summer Fun Passes as their go-to for affordable entertainment, collectively unlocking more than $100 million in savings during that period.
“Summer is our favorite season, and this year we wanted to make sure families felt that,” said Mark Kupferman, executive vice president at Chuck E. Cheese. “We know every dollar counts right now, and we wanted to do our part. So, we started the pass early, we’re running it through Labor Day, and we held the price from last year while adding more perks! Because at the end of the day, kids should get to be kids — and no family should have to say no to a summer full of fun.”
The Summer Fun Pass is part of a broader commitment by Chuck E. Cheese to keep family fun accessible regardless of budget. This summer, Chuck E. Cheese is also offering the $49.99 Ultimate Summer Family Deal — which includes gameplay, food, upgraded prizes, dessert and drinks — and birthday party packages starting at $99.9 , with Mega and Ultimate party packages including: a reserved table in the party room, food, gameplay and a dedicated party host. Chuck E. Cheese’s position is straightforward: no child should miss out on a visit or a birthday party because of cost. The Summer Fun Pass, the Ultimate Summer Family Deal and the $99.99 birthday package exist to make sure that doesn’t happen.
For families who want to keep the good times going year-round, Chuck E. Cheese Memberships offer the same great benefits, including unlimited visits, gameplay, discounts and rewards every month of the year, starting at $7.99 per month with a 12-month minimum commitment.
