Inside Chuck E. Cheese in San Jose, CA, with children and adults, arcade machines, and a stage with colorful LED displays.
Kandice K.

This is certainly the largest Chuck E. Cheese building in CA, there's two stories but don't let that fool you in thinking there's more stuff to do. I'll start off by saying the parking lot seems fairly small considering the number of people this facility can accommodate. Additionally, the entry/center of the first floor is pretty much seating for parties with a few booths for the non party folk to sit and eat. There's also a large screen on the floor for dancing and a large screen on the wall for birthday announcements. There's a salad bar on the right when you enter, and further right is the drink machine and bathrooms. Walking up near the center is a counter to order food, and beyond that will be the prize redemption area. Beware that the cost of the actual prizes is probably cheaper to buy on Amazon or Target than it is to "win" with tickets but you get the idea. Most of the back side opposite of the entrance is the games that will give ticket prizes, while upstairs is mostly non ticket games. The fun play card does not work here if you have a membership at another Chuck E. Cheese, so just keep in mind you're going to need to reload your card as if it's your first time. Most games are 1-3 credits and you'll generally get 1-5 tickets per game which is where they really get you to spend more. You can either pay for credits where you get prizes or you may pay for unlimited play time of games that don't give out tickets. I highly recommend playing for credits, keeping a number of tickets for a prize in mind and then once you hit the number, allow for a couple of games that don't give out tickets. Overall I'd come back again! The cost for game credits is still going to cost me less than admission for a family to go somewhere else for indoor play

Need to take your kids some place safe to tire them out or a place to throw a birthday party? Well, this is the place. It's not just an ordinary Chuck E Cheese, it's their flagship restaurant in San Jose. This place is huge, two floors of fun and adventure for the kids. They don't offer food gourmet dishes but kids don't care. They just want to play! This establishment is clean and well lit with lots of staff to offer help. The salad bar is neatly organized and clean. The pizza is not bad either. Again, your kids won't care. So, if you need a place to keep the little ones busy, give it try! LOL

My kids love this location. Most of the games actually work unlike the one in Cupertino where most things are "under maintenance" all the time. Tons of variety of games, two floors worth! It is a bit pricey unless you are a monthly recurring member once you add cost for play for two kids, pizza/drinks for the family, etc. But definitely the best way to scratch the arcade itch. We've done our daughter's birthday party here, and that was great value. The staff is a bit skeletal and slow, so come with time, and don't get frustrated! You'll have a great time. We will keep coming back until the kids lose interest.

Pizza (with no flavor) - Three slices of pizza with various toppings including pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers on a metal tray, with a colorful cartoon-themed plate in the background.

This Chuck E Cheese is huge with a variety of games. That's a plus for my 7-year-old child with ADHD. The weekends get pretty crowded, but there are plenty of tables. The service is always good! The place is spacious and clean. My only complaint is the pizza. It's bland. I've never had tasteless pizza before, but it has been twice now that I've not liked the pizza. The Cupertino location has great pizza, so I don't know why this one is so plain. Overall, I'll keep coming back, but hope someone does check out why the pizza is not giving pizza flavor. Is there even pizza sauce on it?

Miserable rude worker
Erika E.

Rude ass worker as others have mentioned even your own staff can't stand this bz. Girl you choose to work there nobody told you to work there so why make everyone's else's experience miserable just because you are? Please do better. Lady needs to find a new job or get a better attitude. We love coming here all the way from the city so to have to deal with this lady every single visit is so unpleasant honestly I rather wait in a looong line next time instead of dealing with her.

Pizza, wings, and churros!
Sharine N.

This is the best Chuck E. Cheese I have ever been to. There are two levels; it is huge! The food is tasty and they also have a well maintained salad bar. The food is pricey, but there are coupons and deals are their website. There is plenty of parking on weekdays and early on weekends. It gets busy in the afternoons and evenings on the weekends. I would avoid those times if you don't like crowds. It's a fun place for both little kids, teens, and adults. The employees have always been friendly and helpful.

Menu 12/2023 - Menu featuring pizza options including large, medium, and personal sizes, with toppings and crust choices, at a pizza restaurant.

If you didn't grow up going to Happy Hollow, and you say you're from San Jose, are you REALLY?…read more Happy Hollow will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up going there as a kid, and now getting to bring my own child feels really full circle. There's something so nostalgic and magical about it, one of those places that truly spans generations. From the rides to the animals to the play areas, there's just enough variety to keep kids entertained without it feeling chaotic. My child absolutely loves it every time we go. What I appreciate most is how it still holds onto that classic charm while staying clean, well-kept, and family-friendly. The food is pretty good, too! Special shout out to David for being super friendly and helpful. Become a member if you have kids, it is so worth it!

Location / Parking There's a dedicated parking lot for…read moreguests on Story Road and several self-service parking meters. Each parking ticket is $10 per car for the whole day. You must place the printed hardcopy parking ticket on the car dashboard as there may be parking compliance enforced to avoid being fined. Depending on the day and time that you go, the parking lot seems to get full earlier in the day when the park opens at 10:00 am. However, there was plenty of parking available around 11:30 am on a Saturday morning. Admission It varies on the age of the guest that determines the admission price. Children under 23 months are free. They do allow strollers, wagons, and outside food/drinks. You can also purchase an annual membership if you buy a daily admission ticket and upgrade it. There's an entrance area for regular admission and a separate entrance for memberships. Once you have the physical ticket on-hand, there's a separate line where an employee will scan the ticket. I hosted a party here and reserved the Whistling Woods picnic site, which accommodates 80-100 people. Based on the event package chosen, I was able to buy tickets at a wholesale price for $14 each (instead of the $22 general admission for adults and children over 24 months old). There's a $25 fee for will call where you pay for guests to pick up their physical tickets on the day of the event. Alternatively, you can pay extra to pick up the physical tickets in advance and distribute it yourself. In total, the total costs for the event was $1,200. Guests who attended the party can come at any time during park hours the day of the reserved event (ex. Sunday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm). The reservation time that I booked was from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm and was given 30 minutes prior to the reservation to set up. There was a discrepancy advised by the staff during my reservation process that I would have 30 minutes to break down the event after my reserved time. However, the Happy Hollow dedicated staff arrived at 2:30 pm to advise that my party needed to break down the area and vacate the picnic site by 3:00 pm. There was dedicated staff to help provide carts to transport personal belongings and they came with plates, table covers, and utensils for the prepaid event. Park There's a variety of activities that both adults and children can do in Happy Hollow ranging from the following: animal zoo (it's not a petting zoo), rides for children, adults must accompany if the child does not meet the age requirement, picnic areas, benches/tables to eat, and several playgrounds for all ages. There's also an onsite cafe if you plan to dine at the park or bring your own food, drinks, and snacks. The park is well-maintained and fairly clean overall.

I especially liked the police chase one, it was funny and harrowing. My daughter enjoyed the water and wind effects Obstacle course jungle gym enclosed area - for the more independent kids, my toddler got halfway up and decided to bail The class was excellent, it was hosted by a humorous Filipino man who made sure that both adults and children were entertained. He even did simultaneous demonstrations for the kids and adults which was impressive Train - it was similar to the toy story ride at Disney where you shot things as you ride around with your magic wand to get points Overall this was a very unique experience that my baby enjoyed, we ended up staying for 5 hours and she asked to go again. As there was no lines or crowds on a weekday afternoon, everything was so seamless and quick that we got to do everything we wanted and switched or repeated activities instantly. I would recommend!

I'm not sure it's worth $30 though. My toddler got bored after 1hr but she's a bit young. The 4D ninjago movie was entertaining for me and maybe for my daughter, not sure, she was stoic about it. Bathrooms were clean enough. Coffee tasted decent and was $3.85. If we go next time, will try laser maze and train ride. Didn't see the train ride until after we exited.

It's a huge venue with lots of parking, it's multifunctional for climbing, gym workouts, and yoga classes.

It does get extremely busy during certain times, like after work on weekdays and in the morning on weekends. I always look forward to visiting, and I always have an incredibly fun experience!
