    a variety of arcade games
    Denise K.

    I thought my CEC days were over when my kids grew up but now I've got a beautiful grand daughter who I get to experience CEC with. When I was a kid, CEC was located on the south-east corner of 22nd/Craycroft. Early 90's it upgraded with more activities and moved to the south-west corner of speedway/Wilmot. Around 2014 it moved across the street.... It closed for a year after Covid but remodeled & reopened in 2021. It is a fairly large building. Lots of lights, games, activities. They have a cool dance floor. They have lots of yummy foods. All you can eat salad bar. Cakes. Drinks. Prizes. It's never been too incredibly busy when we go, mid-day, during the week.... We almost have the place to ourselves every time. All the staff are very friendly and kind. You see them always checking games - making sure they are working. It's always very clean inside. Sometimes we just go in, put $20 into the card machine, just walk around playing games for 45 minutes then leave... You can also PAUSE your game card if you have to leave. We really do love this place. GREAT for the younger children.. ....only ONE SUGGESTION: Turn the Chuck E Cheese photo machine AROUND... all the photos come out with a horrible glare from the windows in the back ground.

    Rides are at this location as well!

    I brought my daughter to this new location, looking for something fun for her to do here in Tucson. We came to visit on a Friday night. It was very busy, but the place is very spacious. It wasn't shoulder to shoulder or anything. Ordering food was easy at the front desk after being stamped to come in. I absolutely LOVE the Child Check system where they stamp you with a special stamp on your arm and child's arm that has matching numbers. When you leave, you need to wait to be checked if your stamp matches your child's stamp. Just another thing to set my mind at ease about bringing my child here to play. It was easy obtaining a game card and loading it. My daughter could play instantly! Most of the arcade games work very well. There is the dog game where you pop plastic balls into a dog's mouth where the trampoline mechanism is broken and my daughter wasted some money on a broken game. Also, one of the Guitar Hero guitars doesn't work to strum down, but works strumming upwards only. Many times, the Photo Booth is either out of paper or out of order. Just make sure to really watch the people playing the games you want to play before you allow yourself and your child to play them to make sure they work properly. My four year old says "this is the best pizza I've ever had in. my life!" She loves their pizza and usually eats an entire personal sized cheese pizza. I also get a personal with toppings. It's a thin crust, not super flavorful, but decent for the money. A lot of choices are available for fountain sodas and iced tea. However, every time I've gone there, the floor at the soda station is always sticky. Understandably, children (and even some adults) spill their sodas. If it stays there long enough to dry and get that sticky, then the floors definitely aren't getting as much attention as often as it should be. The greatest thing is the cost of the arcade games. The games are so much cheaper than Dave and Busters and Round 1. Sure, there aren't as many here as those other arcade places, but the cost really makes up for it. I can let my daughter play (and replay) her favorite games for basically one credit per game. So, $24 lasts us for a while! Whereas my $24 at D&B's or Round 1 would be gone in about 5-10 minutes. On a final note, my daughter has always seen Chuck E. Cheese himself at every visit! She loves dancing with him and giving him hugs on the dance floor with all the other kids that rush over to him. He does get bombarded by children and adults wanting to get pictures with him while he's just trying to do his job and dance with the kids. I've rarely seen him able to do the whole dance number with the kids because adults are asking him for a photo on the dance floor with his child and they don't want him to dance. Just FYI, after the dance floor bit, he does wander the arcade floor to play games and take photo ops. That's the best time to ask him for photos. Not while he's dancing. Please keep this in mind and be patient. Take all the posed photos after his dance number with the kids. Birthday party packages seem very affordable! More affordable than other children's fun places. Definitely thinking of having my child's birthday party here this October.

    For sure where a kid can be a kid. Great experience, Chuck came out and played with the kiddos. Pizza is delicious, need to go back and try the stuffed crust pizza. Service was on point, and great vibes.

    Today the workers were short staffed and also short on supplies but they had the best attitudes!! I'm assuming the young girl up front was the manager. She was having to run around being the cashier, the cook, helping unlock toys that were being bought and much more. The young man up front named DJ was also patient, had a great attitude, and was also running around multitasking.  All the employees did an awesome job under the stress they were experiencing. My boys, my sister, and I had so much fun today and the food was great! Thank you!!

    Chuck E. Cheese

    Very good. The staff was very friendly and would fix games quickly. The dance floor addition was also very nice. Will come back.

    The kids had fun, but the dessert was quite terrible. The photo shows the menu photo of Dessert Pizza vs. the actual photo of what I was served. I had to update this review because they have some excellent employees who are beyond attentive, and make up for any issues. I have changed from 1 to four stars. Thansk

    Had my daughter's birthday party here today. It started at 3 p.m. and ended at 5 p.m. Initially, I was disappointed as we had to wait 32 minutes to receive tokens, cups, and paper plates for a party of anxious toddlers. Although slow, our hostess was accommodating when it came to the fact that we had to wait a half an hour for the aforementioned items and gave us a cup full of extra tokens for our "inconvenience." We ordered the basic party pack and included goodie bags which were generous lies and hide age appropriate toys, stickers, coloring pages, and just a few candies. For approximately $300, I would have to say it was worth it because I had to do nothing but show up. They even provided candles & a lighter, which I forgot. Cake plates, forks & napkins. The pizza was surprisingly good as it was thin crust & crispy.

    One if the rides!

    My husband & I took our two young granddaughters to Chuck E Cheese yesterday. We were pleasantly surprised. The place was very clean. The rides and games were all in good working order. nothing like the Chuck E. Cheese we used to take our own children to when they we little! We had found a coupon online for $20,* you got a medium pizza, 2 sodas & 25 tokens. What a fantastic deal. The grandkids are 3 & 18 months, so they don't eat a lot! The rides were a hit! They are only 1 token each & most of them held both kids. There is a giant rocking horse that fit an adult & both grandkids. Chuck E Cheese himself came out 3 times while we were there. He'd do a little dance with them then told the kids kids to sit on the floor. He then threw out tickets for the to scroll for. The first time he even threw candy. obviously the kids were delighted! We were entertained (& fed) for 2 hours! We will definitely be back!

    Rock on, Chuck E.! Rock on!

    See all

    I'll start by saying my little kids really like this place and have a good time there. There's…read moreplenty to do for kids ~10 and under...when it's not crazy crowded. This is not a place for older kids, and it can get extremely busy all of a sudden. When they do get busy they often do not have enough staff to man the front counter and the stations, especially the climbing area, which causes long lines slows down participation big time resulting in wasted time. Often during spring break there was only one staff member running that whole climbing area. One thing that I cannot stand as a parent is that they require you to purchase and wear their propriety grip socks. C'mon. Grip socks are grip socks and we have a whole drawer full of grip socks from different places we've been over the years. I've never been to a place where they care which grip socks you are wearing. But if you can't find their branded socks for each kid and adult then you have to purchase another pair just to participate even if you have a handful of viable grip socks. The only mention of it online is when you go to book a date they through it on the screen all of a sudden. It's says you have to have wild Katz grip socks but doesn't exclusively say you can only use their socks. It's just dumb. Lava Island off of River Road and Orange Grove does not have that policy and is also much more suitable for both older and younger kids! This would be a solid 4 star place for younger kids if not for the hit or miss staffing causing lines and the grip sock nonsense!

Lots of different areas and things to do. Always something that piques their interests. They do serve some food, like pizza, but haven't tried it yet. The check-in process seems a little unnecessarily complicated. The wrist bands take the employees a long time to do and they sometimes even seem flustered--which is totally understandable considering kids can be rowdy and the line can get pretty long. Overall though, we are grateful for Wild Katz and look forward to our next visit.

There are tables to sit and hag out, a concessions/snack stand and various interactive indoor activities, such as scooters, a cozy corner that is like a little library with books and couches, digital art and S.T.E.A.M. interactive exhibits. Outside they have the adventure playground that is really incredible! It's also a non-profit with the goal to create a space that serves the whole community. Their big picture, long-term plan is amazing. I've copied/pasted this following information from their digital booklet: "A shaded outdoor adventure playground for hands-on S.T.E.A.M. learning across multiple ages. A cafe with coffee, pastries, fast casual lunch and dinner, beer, wine and healthy soft drinks. A digital art venue. An event space with regular programming. A community space for meetings, rehearsals, clubs, and groups. A co-working spot for remote and self-employed workers. Multiple Experiences in One Place Putting these attractions in one large beautiful space lets people spend more time together instead of driving from destination to destination. By saving families time and keeping all ages occupied and engaged, we open up opportunities for child learning, homework help, career development, casual socialization and special events for all ages." Best of all, enjoying the space and playground is free!
