My kids loved this place. But I realized one IMPORTANT thing about Chucky Cheese that if you don't come here with coupons you get REALLY ripped off. I overpaid for my tokens while another group paid next to nothing because they came prepared with coupons on their phone. The games are great. The food is ok. The pizza crust is so tasteless it reminds me of Matzah. Drink refills are free which is nice. I expected it to be more noisy than it was. But really the noise wasn't too bad.. And I get migranes.
This is a good place to take children under five for a birthday party or just to horse around. I came here for a kid's party on a Friday night and there were wild kids running all over the place playing video games. The service was incredibly slow. The pizza and wings literally took almost 1 hour to reach our table and it was not worth the wait. The place was severely understaffed with just one cashier taking the food orders.m My advice to people is don't come on a Friday night or if wild kids screaming bothers you.
Hide yo wife! Hide yo kids! This place is for the rats and I don't mean the big scary mascot. I have nephews and lots of little cousins around so I've had a go a few times at this establishment, though admittedly, it's been in the burbs. I went with my cousin and her son to celebrate his belated birthday and we thought it would be perfect since we also needed to go to my favorite place in the world (Target) after a few hours of unlimited, sensory overload fun.
Pro:
You automatically get a table when you purchase food
Con:
The food took over a half hour to arrive
Pro:
The salad bar was half decent and apparently people like to use cheddar goldfish as croutons.
Con:
Fries were really cold when they came out
Pro:
They use some sort of system to stamp a number on your hand so you can't steal people's kids
Con:
There were no children worthy of kidnapping. There were a good group of little tyrants running around and I even heard a few drop the F bomb like it was nobodies business
Pro:
Bathroom is kid friendly. They have small toilets for the little people
Con:
Not that helpful to have these little toilets when there are doors missing
Pro:
Good number of trash receptacles
Con:
So why was there a mound of chicken wing bones and pizza crust on the floor?
Pro:
Going with a 2 year old means that you don't have to purchase a lot of tokens and when they run out you can still take him to games and he thinks he's playing.
Con:
There is something morally wrong about conning a 2 year old.
Abject stupidity could be defined as writing a review about Chuck E Cheese's and thrilling the readers with a somber diatribe about how bad the food was. Even more disturbing is a review about Chuck E Cheese's which laments the fact that there are so many kids running around. Hello? This place was created for kids, not adults. If you are going to Chuck E Cheese's without a child you have much larger problems than your e-persona on Yelp so we can just leave it at that.
This was not my first trip to Chuck E Cheese's. I have been to a variety of outposts over the years with my kids, all begrudgingly so because I find them all to be dirty on top of dirty. However, there are a million little hands eating food and playing games all day, I can't blame them for it getting dirty, but I can blame for it staying dirty. This Chuck location was pretty clean early on a Saturday morning as I dropped my daughter for a birthday party. I surveyed the machinery and shockingly, almost every game appeared to be working. Again, if you have never been to a Cheese's in another location, usually half of the games are operable at best.
If your kids don't enjoy themselves at Chuck E Cheese's, it is probably your fault. It is like a kid not liking bubbles or balloons, it's basically impossible. The lure of spending $20 after $20 to win tickets that turn into a stuffed animal for 1,000 tickets is crystal meth for kids, they just can't get enough.
The most important thing about all Chuck E Cheese's and this one as well is that when you enter with your child, you and your child both get the same hand stamp number. You can not leave the place unless your hand and your child's hand matches. So although it is occasionally dirty and unkempt, loud and universally disgusted for its food, it is a classic destination for kids for a couple of hours and it is comparatively safe. Since this one is located within the Atlantic Center Mall, training it here is as simple as it can be. Enjoy, then wash your hands like five times.
Came to Chuck E Cheese for fun with two friends. We had coupons: $25 for a large pizza, 3 sodas, and 30 tokens and $20 for 100 tokens (usually 90 tokens). We waited for our pizza to be deliver and when it did, it came out to be looking like a medium size. They offer free refills on the soda but they add way too much water than soda.
After our food, we started playing the games. Honestly, I don't expect the place to be perfect but some of the machines are really dirty. For a token a game, the price is definitely worth it but you really don't win that many tickets. My favorite was the basketball, wheel of fortune, the sketch book (too bad it "ran of paper" when we went to take pictures). Be careful because sometime the machine just eat your token or doesn't work at all, so you have to go find the workers.
The prizes are honestly not the best but hey, you don't really expect much for such cheap games.
I have nightmares about this place.
As part of the community service initiative I am a member of, I took my young mentee here for a weekend outing after she told me she was eager to go. I have only been to Chuck E. Cheese once in my childhood and I have no recollection of my experience so I wasn't sure what to expect.
This Chuck E. Cheese is teeming with young children whose parents make a beeline to the food area and leave the kids to "play" with no tokens. A majority of the games and rides are occupied by children haphazardly twisting and turning joysticks and wheels to no avail, so as to not allow paying customers a turn at playing. My mentee was pretty upset when she found that one of the only vacant games was the bowling machine. There was also a point where we put a coin into a machine only to be met by another child sprinting forward to press the "start" button, leaving my mentee with one less token yet no utility gained.
This is definitely not a place where "A Kid Can Be A Kid." Unless that means fending off other children from taking your turns.
Oh boy, the joys of having kids you get to spend countless hours in this place. This is only our second time at this location and it's not too bad. It has changed since the first time we were there. There used to be a big overhead tunnel maze for the kids to play in and a slide right in the center of the place. When we returned the second time it was gone and I was glad about that. It was just a mad house and not good for the smaller kids which of course mad the smaller kids want to go in even more. But it's gone and they have re arranged and spread out all the other games. Makes it seem like there aren't that many things to do but your kids will find things.
You will be exhausted from moving all over the place bouncing from game to game.
You will be frustrated when you get to some of the game and they are out of order
You will be a little annoyed when the games that are working take your tokens and then you have to hunt the employee, whose job it is to try to fix said game and refund you back any tokens you lost.
You will have to keep an eye on your kids and their tokens and their tickets because some seedy child will try to swipe if not monitored. They will also try to jump right in front of your child in lieu of waiting their turn.
Food is kid approved. I think they've recently revamped their menu to be more parent friendly
Bathrooms have mini toilets for kids and normal size for adults. Thought that was cool and it would be cooler if they were cleaner like a lot cleaner.
Overall it's not as much of a chore as you think and your kids will be tired.
My kids are three and six, I will obviously be back
