Seriously such a great activity for both kids and adults. It's located on the 1st floor of the…read moreNorth County mall next to See's Candy and Old Navy and right below the Cheesecake Factory. It's a VR play store where they have individual stalls (about 8) each equipped with a screen, one VR headset, and hand remotes. You can play by yourself or join someone else's game in the other stalls. There's a 100 different games to choose from. There are also 2 virtual driving stations. Due to the complexity of using the remotes, I'd say these activities are best suited for 7-8 year olds and above. They also do birthday packages which I'm sure are popular among the kids. The owner Jordan is awesome. He is super friendly and helpful. I don't know how he does it but he is able to manage all 8 individual stalls and troubleshoot for each person right away. You pay every 30 min. They offer happy hour which is half off Monday-Thursday from 5pm to close. So we paid $10 for 30 mins for each stall which was a good deal. They also have a punch card so the more you play, the more free play time you can earn. My kids are already asking to go back lol :p we shall return soon for more fun!

We've been to 2 birthday parties here. The kids had fun. Located at the entrance near Target and…read moreimmediately on the left when you first walk in. The meeting area is in front but there's only 1 small couch, a coffee table, and maybe 2 folding chairs. There was a party ahead of ours so they were finishing up cake/food on the couch/table while we stood around after our start time and also ate a bit. The host was able to put their food in the ledge but could be improved by separating the areas or having more tables/seating (that aren't counter height off to the side). I imagine they were cleaning off the equipment/controllers after the previous party, as they had cake, and before our party. There are plenty of different games to enjoy and switch off even for numerous kids. The staff were friendly and helpful. Another option for kids' birthday parties these days :)

Took our son her twice while visiting family as we do not have a Chuck E. Cheese where we live. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised to see that this place was clean, including how clean and maintained the bathrooms were. Our son had fun playing in the play center/ jump zone area. That's all he really wanted to do. You do have to pay extra for it. The only thing I would complain about is I wish the staff would check out that area because there were plenty of kids without a wrist band playing in the area and parents letting them. At times it got a little crowded and overwhelming for my son who is on the younger side. Had that area been watched more and those kids and their parents told they could not go in there if they didn't pay, he could have played more without worrying of my knocked down by bigger kids.

Another worker walked behind a different register and quickly walked away giving us false hope that the line would move faster. There's no communication as to what's going on. They need a way for pass holder to scan themselves in and not rely on the staff Super understaff, nobody check or give the black light stamps (like other locations would) to ensure the kids are leaving with their actual parents.

Disclaimer, this from a dad who has accepted his fate and now lives on Play Pass economics and…read moredraft beer theology There are eight Chuck E Cheese locations within twenty five minutes of my house. Eight. I live in a suburban Bermuda Triangle where every road leads to a different flavor of parental surrender. And yet... I keep coming back because the Play Pass membership is the closest thing to salvation a modern dad can buy without consulting a Rabbi. Two hundred fifty games a day. Half off food. Half off the trampoline park. And I can use it at any location in the country, each with its own personality. All have salad bars, some are safe to eat at. All offer redemption counters which are low key pawn shops for sugar gremlins. Some keep things clean. Some... El Cajon... do not. But Escondido? Escondido is one of the chosen ones. My kids are locked in on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Escondido has it. National City has it too, but then you have to spend time in National City, and I'm not trying to add side quests to my suffering. The machines here mostly work. The card readers don't gaslight you. The ticket counters don't jam. It's the little things that keep a man going. The Rat Situation..... Once an hour, the music hits. A jaunty little tune that tells most kids it's time to dance with the giant rat mascot. For my youngest, it's the opening note of a horror movie. She hears it and immediately climbs me like a tree. And look, most of the teenagers in the suit are pros. They see the terror. They give us space. They drift away like a respectful wildlife ranger avoiding a startled fawn. But every now and then, fate hands us one of two options: A kid in the suit who cannot read the room Or a kid who absolutely can read the room and chooses violence anyway Those are the moments when the rat stalks my child like a hyena, and I swear, I am not amused. The Beer! Chuck E Cheese serves beer. This is not a luxury. This is a coping mechanism. But the rat only allows one per hour. One. They demand a valid ID every time, even though I look like a man who hasn't slept since the Obama administration. And the system literally locks the tap until the hour resets, no matter how much money I offer the vermin behind the counter. I have never felt more controlled by a rodent in my life. The Salad Bar.... This location keeps the salad bar stocked and clean. Watermelon, honeydew, cucumbers, carrots, oranges. Six fifty with the membership. My kids eat actual produce here. This is a miracle. Other locations... again, El Cajon... treat the salad bar like a corporate mandated example that pizza and cotton candy a food group. Escondido Chuck E Cheese is where I come to trade my sanity for two hours of my kids not fighting. The Play Pass is a lifesaver. The games work. The salad bar is shockingly fresh. The beer flows on a timer set by a tyrant rat overlord. Four stars because my child should not have to fear a mascot like it's a nature documentary. But for a beaten down dad clutching his hourly beer like manna, this place gets the job done.

TOTAL FAILURE DONT COME HERE OMG like i can't even believe how many fails in a row that was. the support line was also long because the theater seemingly messed up everything that day. refunds were being issued quick and employees (who i kinda felt bad for) were literally shrugging / venting / clearly fatigued by how much of a MESS the day has been. in short, don't list a showtime that isn't real?? don't bottleneck ticket holders coming into your theater for time-sensitive screenings?? put up like 5 self-scan ipads or something??? insane to be on our way to see one of the biggest technical future-forward achievements in filmmaking and be met with a theater that couldn't even use basic web capabilities to update.... a showtime.
