First and foremost, the staff are amazing! They are kind, helpful, and fun! All of the stars are for them and only them. 0 stars for corporate!
Whoever has taken over Chuck E. Cheese has ruined it. Adults have to pay to get in just to sit down. There are no fun games or rides anymore. Only claw machines. There is a big jungle gym play area that looked impressive and the kids enjoyed. There is also a smaller one with a ball pit for smaller children. That also looked cool. The children enjoyed the play places. However, someone needs to let corporate know that the direction they've gone in is not the move. The pizza used to be decent, now it is terrible. Like eating a soggy pizza cracker. I know most kids' play places now use game cards instead of tokens and tickets, but I wish everyone would return to the old ways. It was so much fun to get a cup full of gold coins, win a huge reel of tickets, and feed it into the ticket eater. It's not as fun to just swipe a card. And I'm not sure there's even a way to win tickets or prizes at this place. Also, all of the art looked very AI.
Again, the play place is huge and the kids loved it, but it does not come close to how cool Charles Entertainment Cheese was in the good ole days. read more
