Great place to have a party. However, there are several games that are broken & out dated. There are many tv's that are connected to the chuck e cheese station. I wish there was at least 1 (up stairs) that had the football game on. Several parents left to go a local coffee shop to watch the Niner game. Food: nice selection. Cleanliness: okay. read more

Ya know, I love Chuck E. Cheese. Not growing up in San Jose, I went to a different one throughout my childhood, but I take my son to this one a few times per year and for fundraisers for my wife's school. My son just goes insane whenever we mention Chuck E. Cheese! We actually had his birthday party there last year - talk about insanity. The workers were exceptionally nice, prepared and professional. They made it a great time for Joey... and us too. Just went there tonight. Joey loved the games, tokens and prizes. I actually love the little game to sit down in and it gives you a picture for a token. Takes a couple minutes, but it's worth it. We'll be back. read more

Anyone giving less than 4 stars is 100% wrong! Even 4 stars is too low. This is the BIGGEST CEC in USA and it has many games other arcades do not. The games are super cheap, the small prizes are easy to win, and the game techs are really helpful and friendly. 5 stars! I'd give more if I could read more

Not a bad place if you have kids or if you have a birthday party with kids to go to. The pizza has definitely improved from years past the location I am not does not have beer however I do know certain locations do have beer on tap. Which teams have definitely got a lot better from years past and now all the games only take one token. Deafly come back again for another birthday party. read more

This place is definitely cleaner, however I would buy dinner elsewhere, their prices here are ridiculous! Just for a large cheese pizza $28 , 2.75 per extra toppings, drinks are 3.50.. I spent more than $80 for food and games. They do not honor specials from google! Nice place for kids to play but not eat! read more

Took my daughter and nephew here yesterday, and have this place changed!!, food was disgusting, there was a bug in my salad, told the manager they replaced my plate and changed a new batched of lettuce. Pizza was not cooked/ fully baked. The bread was still soggy, so terrible!!! The games... most of the games were so much germs and greasy... disgusting... The winning tickets had changed on the spin number wheel from 25 to 2. Are you kidding me? They had new games but that doesn't mean anything if it's boring!! You barely win any tickets on anything, most of the machines are broken, the photo machines wasn't working either. SMH. The pizza coupons are now 100 tokens with purchase of pizza on all days of the week. It use have 150 tokens w purchase of pizza coupons from M-Thursday, nope not anymore..Let alone the food was terrible... I rather drive 30 mins to take the kids to the new place in Newark!! Johns INCREDIBLE pizza! It's like an d&b for kids and has a buffet, & bumping cars...!!! 10000000000 x better than ChuckeCheese. You guys are terrible, just money hungry. It was so terrible we had a half cup of coins left, cause it WAS BORINGGGGGGG. read more

I dread receiving birthday invitations that list this place as the location. Parking is horrendous. The parents and children who are in here are always so rude! Pushing to get to machines, ghetto attitudes, punking other kids (yes the parents will also punk your kid if you're not watching) Food is gross. I paid $8.49 for a salad bar that was fine. Better than their cardboard pizza. I will never come here willingly especially on a weekend. Better to take the kids over to golfland, laser tag, anything but here. read more

party review: 1) Reserve Online to pick Super Star package. Comes with 6 helium balloons, Souvenir cups (unlimited refills), play cards, 500 bonus tickets, ticket blaster machine, and 45 play points per child. ~ $22/kid & $3/adult 2) i estimated my guests to be 12 kids and 20 adults. after people flaked last minute (rainy day), i wound up with only 8 kids and 19 adults. So yea, i had to eat $80 cuz i don't get reimbursed for no-shows! Horrible policy chuck E. cheese. And i don't know how they compute what suffices as enough pizza for 32 people, but 3 medium pizzas doesn't satisfy. i even ordered 2 sampler platters and 1 salad platter, and that didn't suffice. Ordered another medium pepperoni pizza and that quickly disappeared too. what are u charging $3/adult for??? It definitely doesn't get u more pizza, that's for sure. Recommendation: Do UPGRADE for the unlimited play passes. it is worth it for the kids. And Do get their birthday cake! The chocolate cake was so moist, my guests were highly impressed by the quality. Praise: Jenny was a fantastic hostess! She kept the party flowing on schedule and kept an eye on my birthday boy. She also expedited the salad platters to our table and did a wonderful job with refilling sodas and cleaning up the tables at the end. I was well informed throughout the whole 2hour party process. read more

They just opened a few days ago. It has been over a year since I visited them. They have all of the games that other arcades have such as Dave & Busters but more. They have all of the Elaut coin pushers such as Wizard of Oz, Blackbeard Bounty, Flinestones Quarry Quest, Ticket Circus, and Willy Wonka, SpongeBob and Jelly Lab Minions. I think this is the only Chuck E Cheese in the world that has all of the coin pushers. Plus they have the card redemption machine which makes cashing in the cards and chips a lot easier. The place is extremely clean not a single piece of garbage on the ground. The staff are are extremely nice and helpful if there is a problem with the game. They are always wiping down the games after it is being used. Great arcade to go to and have fun. I wish they can get the new Angry Birds Coin Crash coin pusher by LAI Games soon. It would be nice for them to have some high-end prizes read more

Hi,today I came to this location with my family and we never have an issue of any kind but tonight the rental cop (security) he was a dick he was so rude telling the kids and parents that it was time to leave the establishment. So I was already mad cause mr. Chuck e cheese rip me off and I was playing the coin pusher machine and I was so concentrated to beat the system and this guy right on my shoulder trying to be tuff and talking and talking. Like wtf bro just let me finish my credits (about 300 cause I'm a pro) anyway he came to the machine about 6 times and he scare the dude next to me so he left. Not my case! I was getting really mad cause this fool he want me out. And the machine for some reason loves me and when I was hitting the well it will give more credits so we were in the same page. So this guy he was crying thru his Bluetooth shit saying that he told me several times that it was time to leave so he left but he send his chuck e cheese click to tell me that they will turn off the machines. So I just click all my tokens and lost my credits so if you people want to try this Chuck e cheese bring your head phones and ignore this wannabe Steven segal chubby dude cause he's so annoying like a wisdom tooth bro seriously. He was so lucky that tomorrow was Mr. Luther King and I didn't want to disrespect his national day. read more

This is the Chuck E. Cheese that I, myself, grew up with. It is also the one that my nieces and baby cousins now go to. As a kid, it was a huge deal to come here. It was as exciting, almost, as going to Disneyland. I loved playing in the ball pit and the arcade games were always so fun. This place is perfect for a big kids' birthday party. You can rent a table where you get pizza and soda and have Chuck E. Cheese sing on a stage and greet you. They used to have a giant ball pit area but I think they got rid of that since it was less safe. It is more for arcade games now. Yes, it is difficult to get any cool prizes with tickets you earn but you're paying for the experience of the game more than for the prizes. I don't know if their pizza slices were random and didn't match up as seen in Shane Dawson's conspiracy video. I recall the pizza tasting ok and wasn't anything to write home about. There's plenty of parking here. This location is larger than other Chuck E. Cheese's I have seen. There is an upstairs and downstairs area. The downstairs area has the little kid "rides" like the cars you sit in that wiggle or the horses that go in a circle like a mini carousel. Bring hand sanitizer. read more

My family and I have spent YEARS going to this place. I even spent every Thursday of my four years of high school doing my homework here. Every Thursday my family would bring my younger brother and my nephew to this Chuck E. Cheese. For those four years we would bring our coupons that we cut out from the mail, order a combination pizza and pepperoni pizza. We would spend our tokens and save up our tickets. No better motivation to get your 6 homework assignments done than your three/four/five/six year old nephew waiting for you to finish your work so you can take him to play games. In those four years the staff was always very helpful and courteous. Tables were always clean, staff everywhere and always close enough to clear a table or fix a game when asked. Pizza was always great and fresh. Crowd was loud, kids everywhere, prizes were honestly somewhat disappointing but still a great place. Glad that I grew up going here and I would not trade those four years for anything. read more

It took me some time to come back. They really turned this place around, finally. They either got new owners who finally put some money back into the establishment. There are no more tokens. Now it's a play card. I purchased the 45 minute play. The trick here is not all games are a quarter. Big Boo, as in sucks! Not even into fifteen minutes my card was gone. I went back and told customer service that i haven't even played for 45 minutes. Keep in mind, depending on how much you put on your play card they have it pretty much calculated at the purchase area. My card had granted me access to getting 103 tickets. Upon entering the store the salad bar was a disaster. i did notice they have a whole new menu option. However, we just went to kill time to play games. Finally towards the end when you are trying to get a prize, it's crazy. One patron redeemed i believe 10000 points for air heads. They employee counted them and kinda started throwing them on the counter. After he finished that transaction, he left. There was an older employee counting Wizard of Oz cards, but never said hi or anything. The parking here is so small for such a big location. Just believe me when i say the games are rigged. Kinda reminds me a casino!! read more

We recently came here for a birthday party and my kids had a blast! We got here around 630pm and we didn't leave until 1030pm!! During the party, there were plenty of seats for all the kids and adults. The kids place setting each had a collectible souvenir cup, blow up microphone, and plate. We were all served buffalo wings, sandwiches, pizza and pitchers of soda. Then, Chuck E Cheese came out and sang happy birthday to all the birthday kids near the Stage and Ticket Blaster. It was mayhem... ALL the kids got SUPER EXCITED as they all ran up to Chuck E Cheese!! After the singing, Chuck E Cheese walked up to our party to hold the Pull String Pinata. Then, we sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy within the party and after that, the host passed out tokens. I'm really glad she passed them out after the kids ate, I didn't have to hunt my kids down to ask them to eat. It was a great party, my little one rode kiddy rides, my older kids played LOTS of games, they periodically came back to drink and eat cake, collect their goody bags, and eat ice cream. What made this the best Chuck E Cheese Party experience was, the host of the party allowed all the kids to participate in the Ticket Blaster. After all they got that night, this was an extra special treat for them! They were spoiled that night =) Cons: -A mission to find parking on busy nights -Party table areas gets too crowded -Carpets are really dirty, especially the corners of the stairs read more

Ok, I didn't really come here much when I was a kid. But I've had the most fun most recently. I haven't been here in a little while but I always have fun here. They got a shitload of arcades...I could spend the whole day here if I had the patience to put up with my nephews trying to drag me to other games cuz they get bored hella fast. But yeah, I believe they should serve beer here since there are a lot of parents that take their kids here. That would really keep me here all day long. Oh and I guess kids can have fun here too.

I always leave here with a migraine and stomach issues! Chuck E Cheese is fun for kids, but a damn headache for even the most patient adult. The food is bad, but it usually is at kids places. Kids could care less about the food- they go for the games! Eat ahead of time to avoid diarrhea. A nice thing about Chuck E Cheese is that you only need 1 token for each game. When your child is done or would like to cash in all their prize tickets, there are now ticket counting machines that you can stick your tickets in. You will receive a printed voucher when you are all done! No more waiting for an hour to have someone weigh your tickets! Once in a while, a worker will go to the mezzanine level and throw tickets to the crowd of children below. It's absolute chaos! Try coming here on any given weekend and you will feel my pain! read more

Our kids love Chuck E Cheese's so we decided to drive 80 miles to this one as it's 2 stories and big. Our expectations were low as Chuck E Cheeses aren't usually that nice or clean. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was extremely nice and attentive. On the game floor they were always around and available to assist. The game selection was GREAT!!! We were all shocked at how nice it was. All the games worked and were all clean. The place in general was very clean especially for a Chuck E Cheese's.

Pizza - 2.5 stars I gotta admit their pizza stepped up a bit from frozen pizza. it's decent. Salad Bar - 3.5 stars They keep it clean and replenished and it's actually fresh. Best part is it's all you can eat. Atmosphere - 1 star It would be nice if parents wouldn't feel too comfy about letting their children roam around by themselves. They offer kiddie check-in with an employee who stamps your hand with the same number as your child. Bad people can lurk anywhere. Some of the unsupervised kids need to be tamed. What bothers me are the children who beg for tokens and they don't even know you! These same children sit there and take the tickets as they come out while you play. I'm not there to sit other children but my own. But here's the most irky part ****the SKEE BALL area**** I find it very ghetto when these children climb onto the alley to shoot the ball into the hole. what the? I'm having flashbacks of me fuming. These same kids who are playing, take balls from the other lanes. what the? Here I am trying to restrain myself from schooling them. I'll leave this review on a happier note. A cool thing about this chucky is it rains tickets! Literally, it does. Every 30 min they throw down hundreds of tickets from the second floor and kids scramble to pick up as much as they can. Talk about your alternative pinata. ; ) read more

And do I love this place or what? I remember running my birthday parties here and always getting excited when I redeem my tickets for a prize. The restrooms and place overall is not the cleanest, so I wouldn't trust the food/pizza completely...but I go here just for the arcade and such. I really have a good time here.

Out of all of the Chuck-e-cheese places that I have been to this is the best of the best. It has two stories of fun, a stage that has robotic characters, and a room that you can rent out for parties. I love bringing my nephew here it's a great place to tire out a child ;) the bottom floor for the most part is reserved for small kids and the top floor has many arcade games for teens and adults. The food is so so (pizza can sometimes be salty) and the selection isn't much but I know they are revamping the menu! One thing that I really appreciate about this place is that when you get their, your whole party gets a UV stamp with a specific number on it so if a child in your party wonders off and trys to leave or (God forbid) is taken by someone, the staff will know that their numbers don't match and won't let that child leave with someone without that same number. If you do decide to go here look online for coupons or your local shopping adds-they have great deals on pizza packages with tokens. *only thing I can think of as a downside would be that parking can be a bit hard to find on the weekends. They do have a decent sized parking lot but this place is so popular that sometimes you need to park down the street. read more

A bit getho crowds. Staff not exactly friendly but ok. The ony place to play Deal or no Deal. This is a kids place but can u believe adults hog this game? My little one wanted to play a couple of games we keep checking back and the same man was still playing. Then 20 minutes later we got in. Surprisingly another man was waiting for us to be done. Of course I wanted to get my money's worth so I played too ... he was patiently waiting. Also stay away from the salad bar !! A woman uses her hand to put excess food back in the salad bar. Her chubby boy couldn't wait to eat. he's about 10 years old deeps and licks his finger in the ranch dressing then a second dressing. His mom saw it but probably didn't know others may be watching and didn't tell the boy to stop. It wasn't a busy day, I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw it. I never visited this salad bar so i shouldn't care but was thinking about reporting it anyways but no staff walked by. This is the better of the south bay locations in terms of games.

If you must go or want to try, you just need to choose your spots (day & time), I usually would go and actually look in the door then decide if to take the plunge (back before there were other play center alternatives like Bamboola, The Jungle, Golfland, etc.). Overall, avoid this particular location at least. The Pros: If not a crowded day (avoid weekends) it has entertainment value. The Chuck E Cheese franchise and business model is fun and well-known. 1 token per play is awesome. The Cons: This location is like a wild zoo, particularly on the weekends. Add to that a lack of fresh air, rowdy older kids, and lack of store supervision, think twice about bringing younger ones (6 yrs. and under) here. read more

My husband was raving about this Chuck E Cheese, telling me about how much fun he had here when he was a kid, so we decided to bring our 2-year-old son there. While my husband was telling me about how BIG and AWESOME this particular Chuck E Cheese was, I envisioned a big play area where my son could roam free and explore those germ infested ball pits and crawl through those dark, smelly tunnels. It was the childhood I so fondly remember! However, when we arrived, we were sad to not see any play structure at all. What a waste of space, I thought. I guess replacing that with tables and chairs for parties is the bigger money maker. Needless to say, there isn't much for toddlers to do here. I recommend staying in the "small kids" area with the kiddie rides if you have a kid younger than 5. Everywhere else is too chaotic, especially on a weekend. My son particularly enjoyed jumping on and off the moving carousel... he could have been wrecking havoc on a nice, big play structure, but had to resort to giving us heart attacks on the carousel. Thanks a lot, Chuck E Cheese! On a serious note, I read that a lot of machines are broken here and workers don't care about fixing them. Well, when I was there, I saw 2-3 workers walking around fixing machines... which is more than I've ever seen at any arcade. So kudos to them for that. There are some clusters that are cramped, but there are also areas that are pretty clear and you can breathe easier. I can see this place being fun for older kids who know what to do with tokens and games. As always, bring coupons when you go to Chuck E Cheese!! read more

Came here on a whim after golfing. My good friend Andy and I have been trying to coax our other friends we should go here, but it was to no avail until Thursday. It smelled like puke from the minute we got there. We ordered pizza, wings, and got two salads. The pizza was ok. I actually expected worse. The wings were sub-par, but hey it's Chuck E. Cheese's. The salad bar was probably the best thing there and was the best thing I could've done or else I would've been in much greater trouble later that day. We beat Aliens: Extermination for around 5 bucks after all the continues and such. I was disappointed in the lack of arcade games. read more

It been 10 years since I last been to this CEC. I went yesterday with my little cousins and boy did the place and environment changed. They removed the playground/playpen! Why!? Guess kids had accidents in there or something. The games seemed to give out less tickets as before. The cost for token increased! A medium 1 topping pizza was $20ish...wtf!? It wasn't good pizza either! Chuckie make an appearance every hour. He would walk around the place throwing single pieces of tickets in the air and all the kids...and alot of the adults would following him, crawling on the floors to pick up the tickets. I told my cousins not to follow them and I'm glad they listened to me. Theres something disturbing about that scene...adults and kids crawling on the floor fighting over ONE piece of ticket. Anyways, this place got less fun and more expensive. Even my 8 years old cousin didn't had that much fun. Just go to DnB lol read more

2 floors of mayhem! I came here as a child 20 years ago and I have fond memories of this place. The top floor has arcade games, the bottom floor has ticket games with seating on both floors. The pizza isn't very good, but the kids like it. If you must eat and you don't like the pizza, you can order other things on the menu including the salad bar. My favorite thing about Chuck E Cheese is that all games are 1 token! Even the big ones that you sit in. Bad thing is that kids go through tokens like I eat french fries! I came here with my friend's nephews and nieces and they can't get enough of it. Come here to feed the kids and let the kids run wild! They have a security feature where all people have a special stamp, and they cannot leave the building without their stamp matching yours. Very good idea. read more

This chuck e cheese is a joke. It's totally run down. Games don't work and if they do, the graphics are screwed up. The pizza was just ok. Little Ceasars has a better pizza. The fountain drinks were good. This place being two stories could have so much potential. SAD read more

About 80 percent of the machines were working, which is decent, but you can tell it's not as updated or as full as other spots. We didn't check out the bowling area, but the arcade itself felt a bit limited compared to newer locations. If you've been to the Stonestown Round1 in SF, that one is much bigger, newer, and just has more to do overall. It's still a fun stop if you're in the area, but for the full Round1 experience, I'd probably stick to the SF location next time.

They have a lot of popular games, but they don't have Time Crisis! I was also pretty bummed that quite a few machines were broken. The ticket to prize ratio is very high. The claw machines seem really difficult, but there were a decent number of people walking around with plushies. The price per try for a claw machine is ridiculously high as well, so probably not attainable for casuals. The arcade games seem reasonable in comparison, but 8 credits still maps to around a dollar per play. $20 each and a lot of walking around lasted us maybe 2 hours.

LOL! We got sucked into playing the Labubu machine. We grabbed the box a couple times. So close! But that machine was more coins than the regular. And after 5 tries each, we realized we were burning through the coins quick. Definitely coming back with the whole family and deeper pockets... Hoping for different selection of stuffies next time we come, so we aren't trying to win the same ones again.

Checking in was fine, except I was asked to fill out a paper version of something I already filled out online. I had pre-ordered shirts for us, and they had my son's no problem. My shirt couldn't be found, and after having me wait for 30 minutes while they organized the shirt pile I had to demand one of the "same day sale" shirts because they were about to sell out and no one else thought of that solution. We finally get into the event and its dark. Its hot. We aren't allowed any outside drinks, not even water. Every game that wasn't broken (a lot were) seemed to have a line, and no one was in a hurry to let others play. There was no communication that there was a 2nd room with driving/flying games, we stumbled on that ourselves. We gave it 4 hours, and at the end we just left. I was told by staff that they weren't expecting this many people so they were completely in chaos. It really showed.

They are held at California Extreme in Santa Clara, Golden Gate Pinball Festival in Lodi and Pin-a-Go-Go in Dixon. California Extreme is not exclusive with Pinball Machines. There are also tons of arcade games for those who enjoy them. We have enjoyed attending these events whenever we're able to. In the past, our work schedules often got in the way. Now that we're retired, our vacation schedules often cause conflicts. The people who run this event have always done a tremendous job of getting others to bring their beloved machines, set on free play, for the masses to play. In return, they get free admission. A substantial number of volunteers are also needed to load-in, load-out, wipe down, perform minor repairs, scorekeepers, registration, check-in, etc., etc. We attend to see Pinball Machines that we've never seen before, to play with machines that are hard to find, to play new machines, but mostly to play in the tournament. Yes, there are cash purses and trophies or plaques to be one. Bragging rights galore! But for players at my level, it's mostly about WPPR Points that affect your International Flipper Pinball Association Ranking. As I write this review, I am 8640 out of 103,576 players in the world. Does it mean anything? Only to my ego. At one time, I was sub-3000. I simply don't play in enough tournaments to keep my ranking. This year's tournament entry fee was $2 per game. That is not particularly expensive BUT there was no limit to the number of entries that one could purchase. This changes that tournament of skill and luck to one of skill, luck and DEEP POCKETS. In my opinion, there should be a single buy-in. Everyone plays the same number of games on the games that are available. Yes, this will reduce the prize money but so what? Whatever happens, happens. If you have a great day, congratulations. If you have a lousy day, better luck next year. But under the unlimited buy-in, you just keep putting out money until you have a few good games to tie together for your final score. What? The tournaments almost over but you're in 11th place and only the first 10 places are in the money. Well, play some more and hope to improve your score and win! Anyway, without the tournament to play in, I will either only attend California Extreme one day only or skip it all together moving forward. Additionally, this year, for the first time, the Hyatt is now charging $40 to park overnight. This was either not disclosed at the time of booking or I somehow missed it. When I complained, it was discounted $20 because I was staying there for California Extreme and another $10 because I'm a Hyatt member. I was told that, "all the other area hotels are charging more for parking and the Hyatt is just trying to catch up." There was a 49ers exhibition game on Saturday, August 19th, and parking was expected to be at a premium and traffic would be a zoo. To counter that, we arrived way early to get a space. We arrived at 8:30 for a 10:00 opening. Because we left the house so early, we didn't have time to eat breakfast, but we had plenty of down time in the hotel (check-in was at 3:00pm), so we opted for breakfast in the hotel (see our review for Evolution). Breakfast Buffet at $28 per person vs Continental Breakfast at $22 per person. So, while California Extreme is still lots of fun, between the costs and the crowds and a Deep Pocket Tournament, it may be time for us to move on.

I had never seen an arcade or entertainment venue quite like it before.What completely surprised me was the ice skating rink inside the arcade. My jaw literally dropped, and i immediately turned to my friend asking if we could go. It's such a unique and fun concept that immediately makes the place stand out. They also had a bowling area and spot with pool tables. The perfect place that has everything to do there. The staff were all welcoming, upbeat, and clearly excited to be there, which made the whole experience even better. We decided to grab some food, and I was honestly blown away. This was not typical arcade food at all. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. I ordered the sliders and fries, and they were seriously delicious. I would come back just for the food alone. Gama Ride is the perfect place to hang out with friends when you're looking for something fun to do, but it would also make a great date spot.

It's located on the opposite side of the skating rink and is easily accessible. I love that the arcade is spread across multiple areas and floors instead of being one large flat space.

I also noticed several games I hadn't seen before, including The Voice karaoke room, which was a fun and unique touch. There's also an entire floor dedicated to billiards, priced at $5 per game, which I really enjoyed. They offer food and alcoholic drinks, making it easy to spend a few hours here without needing to leave. The space was well-maintained and clean, which I truly appreciate. Parking in the plaza is plentiful and convenient.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, that meant that many parties were waiting for the one in front to complete their round before they could proceed.

The mats where you tee up the ball were mostly worn down and should be replaced, but the rest of the equipment were relatively well maintained.
