    Chuck E Gumball Plushie
    James A.

    For a company that has been around since 1977, Chuck E Cheese does a nice job of staying relevant to their main demographic: kids between 4 and 12 and of course their parents. I remember from my youth (growing up in Chicago, Showbiz Pizza was the place), wanting to go there..and of course it became a staple when my daughter was younger (birthday parties, especially). I do remember their remaking of their food, gearing it towards parents as well. A lot of memories (fond and some not so much...a lot based on how busy it was). Haven't been back for at least 10 years (and honestly thought I never would considering Covid and the viability of a place like this staying open where you WILL catch something if there is a sick child). But we were in town for a birthday, so took our nieces and nephews (aged 7, 4, 1) to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. Much of it is how we remembered: one entrance where you are given a UV light stamp across the kids and adults (to not allow kids to get separated when leaving). You then place an order for food (if you want) and 'tokens', where the best deal is to combine the two. My daughter found a great deal on-line where you could get 1,000 bonus tickets if you purchase an hourly plan for $33. The two older girls are at that age where they want to stay together, but also want their own cards. So we purchased two 1 hour unlimited (they already had the wristbands from a previous visit). We also got a large pizza (no toppings since couldn't find any topping that everybody liked) for $21.99. You are given a pager, which went off after 10 minutes, at which point you can pick up. There is a self-service soda fountain, which allows you to get complementary filtered water. The pizza is OK, thinner crust. One hour was the right amount of time for the girls. One is allowed to pause it ONE time via the self-service kiosk, to eat lunch. We think there is a 10 second or so delay between each valid scan so you COULD only have one card and still be able to have two kids play at the same time. But sharing is not the most common trait between sisters at that age, so glad that we got two. The mix of games was pretty good, good for young ages but also a lot that a 10 year old would enjoy. it wasn't too crowded so no kids were waiting...if a game was busy, they would just move to a new one. The card automatically stops working after the period (though it didn't happen at the exact same time, so that was an interesting conversation to explain 'Why/'). We then went up to the prize center, and then realized how valuable the 1,000 point bonus that we had gotten was. Basically even after an hour of playing, the oldest one only added 200 points to the card (the younger one only 80 points). After combining the points (and adding $3), they were able to get identical Chuck E Cheese gumball plushies. It's actually pretty good quality, and we named them Chuck E and his brother Carlos. So when we were ready to leave the building, we all got together and the attendant made sure we all had the same stamp. Hoping it won't be another 10 years before we are back!

    Cheetos Mac n Cheese Pizza

    Staff are nice, food is ok, drink area kinda gets dirty. Cheetos Mac n Cheese Pizza - throw Mac N Cheese on a pizza, bake it, and you get baked Mac N Cheese Pizza. Then toss some Cheetos on it and you have Cheetos Mac n Cheese Pizza. It's decent not great, the Cheetos are great, but really just get a bag of Cheetos lol. If you let the pizza sit, the Cheetos get stale fyi. Staff are nice here, I appreciate that. The drink area has tons of spills, probably kids, but the counter and floor seems to be constantly wet, not the most pleasant place to be. Rest of the area seems pretty decently clean over all.

    I really don't understand why it's so hard to deliver friendly customer service at a place where kids come to be happy And why it's so hard to deliver quality food ! Ridiculous that as a parent I have to keep up with this TWO locations have already been disappointing! It's absurd Just be friendly and happy to work at Chuck E. Cheese If not, get a new job ! The cashier was rude to begin with and then my sons food is burnt

    Plenty of ticket prizes

    Chuck E. Cheese has come a long way from when I was a kid. No more scary robots with a broken eye and no more dingy carpet that smells like urine. This particular Chuck E. Cheese is completely renovated and larger than the previous location. Right when you walk in, you'll notice that the place is bright and clean. There is plenty of room for kids to run around without feeling overly crowded. The games are in great condition despite how rough the little ones can be. Even the food is noticeably different - the pizza was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. I can see why their $5.99 lunch buffet would do well. To save yourself the trouble, just go ahead and put in a larger bill for tokens. Even though each game is only one token, your kid will run through them quick. By doing so, you also get a better deal by buying more tokens up front. You just can't help but play alongside your child in skee ball. Make sure to check out the life size Operation game and Terminator Salvation shooter and finish the playtime with Dippin Dots. Chuck E. Cheese is still a great place for a kid to be a kid.

    Pros: All the games and machines were .25, so it took us 1 hour to go through $5.00, very quiet during midday, it is run down, but the staff is working hard to keep it clean Cons: Don't eat there, it is too expensive, could be considered "dirty," but it is cheap!

    Rock-afire Explosion animatronics band in 80s.

    Barrington, Illinois Been going many years & now grandkids. They love it, always old favorites & some new surprises. I really miss the Rock-afire Explosion animatronics. Great sound, fun show no matter what age. Many characters when started out, everything moved. Chuck E. interacted with kids. We followed every location that still had them. Now human one comes out waves & disappears at all locations. Wait line was a lot better last time, even when crowded. More relaxing. Kids' favorite place. Everything usually working, easy to find fast help with problem. Bathrooms are super clean. Only one line, one person takes ticket and food orders. Tickets confusing so one person takes forever to pay. Line was out door, never did eat. When someone just doesn't get the way it works, like 15 mins repetition someone else should take them aside, a manager maybe. Getting a much needed wine is impossible. Once you finally pay & given receipt, you then have to wait again for special person of legal age to just hand it to you..back in line with food/tickets for only person. Other locations have at least one of each. Again maybe manager could hand these over. Or just unlock after pay so we can grab our own. I said at some other play places person handing out food also can sell tickets & hand wine while waiting for food to cook.

Because it's so popular, they use timed entries to give more families a chance to enjoy it without crowding. It's located inside the Spring Valley Nature Center, so after playtime, you can wander the trails or explore more of the natural area. A great combo of fun + learning + nature. Perfect for an afternoon with littles

My understanding was we were allowed to stay for one hour, and it was well worth the nominal admission fee! It had all the best components of a park, with lots of attention being focused on exploration and discovery. I did not see any swings, but there was plenty to climb on and signs posted everywhere encouraging the parents to not be helicopter parents... to let their child explore and try to problems solve on their own. There was a man-made creek running through one edge of the park and half the children were in bathing suits and had shovels and buckets with them. My grandkids declared it the best park they've ever visited! The playground is attached to a large piece of land that has tons of walking paths and picnic areas along with nice bathrooms and an educational nature center! It would be very easy to spend the better part of a day here!

    What a great spot in the suburbs! I had no clue this was here until recently. Hidden in the…read morePavilion Community Center is an indoor play space, and even more wonderfully is a beautiful carousel. My daughter LOVES them so I surprised her with a visit here. She enjoyed playing at the indoor playground and I really appreciated that in addition to the large climbing and play maze they had a couple of small play structures for the littler kids. My own kid was just the right size that she could play pretty safely on both. The carousel was, of course, the piece de resistance. It is really beautiful. There are about a dozen and a half horses (zebra included) and a swan chariot for when you want to sit (and, since we did over a dozen rides, I did need to sit since I was so dizzy!). My only complaint is that there are no restraints on the horses. The other carousels we've been on have some sort of strap to wrap around, but not here. The carousel doesn't move at lightening speed of course but some added safety measure besides just me holding her on the horse would put me at ease. The place is available for rent, which is cool. For individual, single-day entry, it's only $6 which is one of the best bargains in the suburbs tbh. That's for unlimited rides. The worst part is the hours! They're only open Monday through Friday from 10-2, so that really limits the times we'll be able to visit unless I use PTO to come by. I've heard that they're doing some renovations or something though so who knows, perhaps it'll grow in popularity and they'll increase their hours.

    Went here for my niece's 2nd birthday and honestly... I had no idea places like this even existed…read more It's such a cool spot for a kids party. There's a carousel (like a legit, big one with hand-painted horses) and a circus-themed play area with tunnels, slides, and all kinds of things for kids to climb around on. We had about 15-20 kids there, from toddlers up to around 8, and it was perfect, everyone had something to do the whole time. The carousel was probably the highlight. The bigger kids loved it, and even the little ones could ride with a parent, which was really nice. Also have to shout out the staff, they were super helpful with setup and cleanup, which made everything way easier. The space itself is really practical too, lots of tables, outlets (we plugged in a slow cooker for hot dogs), and you can bring your own food. We kept it simple with hot dogs and pasta salad and it worked out great. Overall just a really fun, easy place to host a party. Definitely recommend for kids 8 and under!
