We had my son's birthday party there yesterday and I can't thank them enough! We booked a 10 am party and we had the entire party table section to ourselves. The young lady who ran it was so helpful and nice! And the young man who is the mouse was amazing! All the parents and kids had so much fun. I have not one bad thing to say! I know next year, I'm going to try to talk my son to having it here again because everything was taken care of! Will definitely be back!!
We have the play pass and come here regularly. For $12/month unlimited for kids fun, it can't be beat. Terrell is always a pleasure to deal with as well. I almost never leave reviews but felt compelled to because it's such a positive experience here.
Our grandchildren had a ball. Age range from 7 to 13. Prices were reasonable and the food was very good though we only had ice cream type treats. Particularly they loved the dipping dots.
The staff really tries their best. Most times they are understaffed due to the shift, for instance weekdays before 5pm. Otherwise good atmosphere, clean establishment, food is good not great, and some of the games could use repair or maintenance but the majority of them work just fine.
Mainly went here for the arcade. The place itself is not bad. But lot of the arcade machines and games seem very outdated. Some are out of service and doesn't work. We normally get one card for 45 mins and share it among the kids for the time. I don't think the other options are worth it as the tickets you get is very little compared to other arcade locations we have gone to. I would suggest them to get some new games. I also compare it to Dave&Busters where we usually goes to on Wednesdays.
The pepperoni and sausage pizza was surprisingly good. My grandson is three and he had so much fun! The machines were all in good working order with a great mix of games and activities to keep all ages interested. Everything was very clean and prices were affordable. But the most outstanding thing about this location is the staff! They were all friendly, caring, patient, and kind. This is a special place because of the people who work there and how well they treat the kids! I know we will come often!
Clean, fun for all ages, 98% of the games work (seriously a high rating), SUPER NICE STAFF, great stuffed crust meat lovers pizza and very affordable with their 3 month summer deal or monthly membership. Salad bar and gluten free crust available
For 3 kids for 2 hours, I spent $ 140. Also, my grandson bought $20 more points. We had 1 pizza, 4 piece wings, small cheesy bread, drinks, and 1 medium fries. They had fun but not really enough for the price.
First time being here during a weekday around 3pm. Pros: The place wasn't crowded and spaced out comfortably. I enjoyed how the games for toddlers were separate from those for older kids/adults. I enjoyed the convenience of ordering food through an app from our table and the pizza was good. The facility was extremely clean and well organized. Cons: We ended up waiting longer than we should have for our food. I had to track help down after 10mins of our pizza being late and there was confusion about where o
They had a cake cutter and candles that we forgot, thanks. The kiddos had a blast, we did unlimited okay for an hour. They were beat
Great facility with lots of games for a variety of ages! Everything was clean & well maintained & the staff were very friendly. Pricing for game play was affordable too. Will definitely go back??
Pizza was surprisingly tasty. Salad bar looked fresh and well maintained. They do a great job keeping the facility clean considering the amount of activity. Manager was kind and helped with issues on the app.
Manager told me where to go. Over summer pass that I paid for with receipt in hand and refused to honor it. Gave me support number in Texas that never answers.
Ty was awesome and went above and beyond to make our night. Food was alright and my kids had fun, what more could you ask for?
Don't look under or next to the booths?.. it's not pretty. Games are alright, it makes you take time in-between swipes so some games like coin pushers are frustrating to play. Service was great! The person working the counter was super nice and gave my kid some extra stickers.
Went on a Monday at noon, good bit of people there but not packed. Spent $50 and got a large pizza, 4 drinks and 2 cards loaded with unlimited games for 45 minutes. Pizza was good, restroom was clean and Chuck was out a lot. The kids had fun!
I really like this location. The staff is great and do their best to make sure everyone has a great time. They keep it clean which is a huge thing to me. As with most places, they could wipe down often-touched surfaces more often, but I do see them cleaning occasionally. The food is tasty and salad bar always fresh. Sometimes our favorite games are broken and the AC occasionally has trouble keeping up. But overall, it's great!
Rainy days we take our 2 year old to run around and have fun. Pizza is ok, wouldn't recommend the salad bar. The staff is very nice. Spend about 2 hours here.
Friendly, clean. Very fun. My kid has a great time. First time visit @ this location. I definitely recommend!
We arrived not too long after they opened on a Sunday. We were able to access all of the machines for a few hours. The staff was very helpful and it was nice and clean. Definitely will be returning.
Exspensive... The kids had a blast!! ages 2, 6, n 13. I got the $10 play card n 1pizza n wings for $51...He played basketball n loved it. I had a problem but got ot fixed by manager. Some lazy workers . Staff mind should be on safety and fun!! Not hard!! Chill on break time!
My Grandtwinies and granddaughter really enjoyed themselves. Of all the Chuck E Cheese restaurants we've taken them too... This one by far is the BEST!!
It is amazing staff is amazing but Jackie cheese is very very amazing she made our experience 10? better veryyyy amazing ??
I was hesitant to give it a try because I'd heard bad things but I'm so glad we did. The team here does such a good job keeping everything clean and safe and fun. My kids have a great time and I feel comfortable letting them play without me watching them like a hawk.
This place is very different than it was years ago and in a good way! I'm actually looking forward to taking my kiddos back. It was clean, the games were working, and the staff was pleasant and kind. We didn't order anything to eat, so I can't comment on that part.
Attended this place for a birthday party! It is a decent place for kids to enjoy and to have fun with their friends.
My sister and I spent an a couple hours there with my niece. It was so much fun. We played the games, my niece danced with Chuckie cheese! We didn't eat. I guess that when we got her prizes that counts as service, I'm not sure. It's a vague question.
I went here today with my wife in kids to celebrate our granddaughter first birthday we had an amazing fun time & the food was well prepared 3/26/18
We had our 3 year old son's birthday here last Saturday. We were supposed to have a host during said party. We saw two people at the beginning, when the pizza was brought out, then when she brought the dippin dots. Since the kids are fairly young they were supposed to be brought their drinks. My aunt had my little cousins 3rd birthday party at Go N Bananas. The host there actually helped out a lot more.
Chuck E. Cheese is SO much better now that they offer the "all you can play" specials. Brought my son in today to celebrate a perfect report card and we all had a great time. We will definitely be back!
My kids love going here! The staff is fantastic. We came on a random weekday for my twins? 7th birthday and the entire staff treated the girls like royalty!
Disappointing to say the least, half the place is filled with little rides that you would see back in the day outside of the grocery store. The small air hockey table is missing the puck, half the skee ball machines are missing balls, multiple machines are broken or missing parts. It's really sad how far this has gone downhill. There's no more ball pit there's no more tubes or climbing it's just a money-making machine with subpar Pizza. Gone are the days of tickets and token coins, gone are the whack-a
My daughter had my 2 year old granddaughters birthday party at this establishment, the family really enjoyed ourselves, our kids were age ranges 7 months-18 years and they all had a blast. There were games for all ages, they especially enjoyed the photo booth. The staff was very friendly, except for the people who were in costume as Chucky, they were not very interactive with the children. As part of the birthday package a friendly Chucky was supposed to be included, but overall a good time. I do really wis
We had my daughter's 9th birthday party at C.E.C. The kids had a great time. The All You Can Play feature is great for parties. The management was especially helpful. They were willing to spend their time helping me find my son's phone after he lost it under one of the games. They must have helped look for close to an hour. I would not have found it without their help. They definitely care about their customers. Thank you!
Very nice and very clean we went here one time and it was very clean. It even had the chuck e cheese squishmellow
It was a great family time. We were celebrating birthday fun which happened to be on a Wednesday which has all you can play hour for discount. We had a BLAST! The staff were very sociable with us. The greeter ended up complimenting both my ex and I on our appearance outta left field. We'll probably return, but it's going to be a while. Typical arcade games you would expect. Plus a few I've never seen anywhere before.
Great place to have a family night. We went on a Wednesday night and it wasnt full at all. It was both me and my sons first time ever being there and we all had a great time
I got there an hour to closing. The employees were attentive and kept the place tidy. I'm not sure who had more fun my toddler or us adults. Haha the salad bar was the only thing available at that time. I loved it. Everything was fresh and tasty!
If you can afford it, get the All You Can Play cards for the maximum minutes the first time. If you skimp the first time and your kids want to play longer the combined total will be way more expensive. My son and his friends had a great time.
The pizza was awesome. So much better than we expected here at this location! It was clean and we had a blast!
I wanted to share my experience at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday which was completely?unacceptable. My daughter?s birthday was a mess. Upon arrival I was asked to order my ?pizzas for the party. I ordered?2 large pepperoni and 2 large cheese pizzas. As they called our party over to eat there were 7 pizzas that came out. I said there had to be a mishap because there's only 9 kids. The host Nina then?took two pizzas back. The manager on duty who didn't introduce herself came out aggressive?with the pizzas again.
Pizza, fun and games! We love it here, it's somewhere we go every two weeks at least! Great staff and nice environment.
This is a great place for kids 12 and under. Lots of games for different ages. Was there as a Birthday party so can't say much about cost but my kids had fun. However, the tickets take a while to earn and the pizza seems like frozen pizza they just heated up. That staff was helpful but not obviously not excited about their jobs.
Great place for kids to have fun. They are a little understaffed (who isn't nowadays), but the staff there work very hard and go out of their way to help guests and keep the place clean. We will be back.
Nice selection of games here, also pretty fair pricing compared to some of the other big arcade chains. We've made so many memories here, and say what you want, but the pizza buffet is really good! We also really like the jungle gym, it makes me want to go in myself! Definitely would recommend, especially for kids!
Always very helpful and clean and fun for the kids to eat and play Excellent place for a child?s birthday party and definitely a decent price when compared to other places. The food options for adults are good as well it's all you can eat and depending on the options you choose you can save a decent amount of money.
this chuck e cheese is pretty terrible. the staff don't seem to care about the look of the place or the quality of service. pizza orders are consistently wrong, the mouse doesn't come out to greet the kids as often as he should even though it's advertised every hour on the half hour. family tries to give this place the benefit of the doubt as we understand staffing is tough. we've come here almost every weekend the last year. but it looks like it's time to find somewhere else to take the kids.
Had my son?s 3rd Birthday here and he loved it. It seemed pretty clean and the kids loved the pizza. I would not pay to have another birthday here though. It did not seem worth it and I could not even enjoy my time with my kids because the party host kept coming to find me about stupid questions. I said I didn't want anything extra and she kept coming to ask if we wanted this or that. Very annoying. Overall, fun place for kids.
I don't even know where to begin. I will say store was clean. The only good remark I could leave and probably only deserving of the one star. Besides the immature staff and unprofessional staff to the rude manager who wore her attitude beautifully on her face all day long it was a nightmare. Not to mention a staff member put their hands on my child while here and was rude to her. Also this was for my sons birthday party. Our party host was on his personal cellphone most of the time and having inappropriate
My brother had a great birthday party on new years day. First of all thanks for being open new years day cause we were really worried little man wouldn't get one cause alot of places were closed. The staff were very attentive and he even got to meet the mouse himself. Pizza was decent and hot but ya know it's always got that chuck e cheese quality about it. Was surprised how good their cake actually was. Plus 2 full hours of endless games. Boy got to rack up the tickets. Overall better than any of my bday p
I will start with the good and say it was a clean environment and the pizza was good. But we were disappointed in the customer service. Upon arriving we didn't know what we wanted as we hadn't been there in a long time and there was different options the person was clearly annoyed with us and showed it. Then we were told by an employee as well as a sign that Chuck e would be out on the 30 well he never came out. I asked them hey will be be out so he came out once again clearly annoyed my son was so excited
Perfect for little guys and good food
Clean, pretty empty, friendly and attentive staff. It was a great visit for my family. Pizza was good too! Our visit was on a Thursday, late afternoon from 330-530. Closer to 515 more families came in, but it was nowhere near crowded. Everyone spaced out and respected boundaries.
Great if you go before 5pm
I had a great time at the Harrisburg location, Nice clean store as the store looks very different as it use to be. This cast member name Aiden was a very nice staff he helped us with our food, And the games and was just a nice to us. I recommend coming here!
Chuck E. Cheese is where ANYONE can be a kid! We thought our kids (2 of 3 are teenagers) had outgrown this place. We visited to spend the last of old tokens and tickets. When we walked in the door and told them to spend it all, since we wouldn't be coming back, their response (in unison), "But we WANT to come back!" As one child noted, "It's like Dave & Busters but quieter and much cheaper." Certainly, there are a few more differences, but none the less, it is still a great time especially for some families
Good place for kids of all ages. Its not very clean but ok for an evening with kids
First time visiting a Chuck E Cheese's. After hearing a lot of not so favorable things, was expecting much worse. It was fairly busy. The staff was pretty unpleasant and unresponsive. I wanted to get a soda and some extra tokens and I waited at the counter for about 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged. I did notice about 3 employees in the back that were standing around. Even if they were truly busy a simple be with you in just a moment would have been nice. I also wish the play area would have been
My 5 year old enjoys spending a few hours at Chuck E Cheese playing games. It's a nice mid-week distraction for the two of us. Not a fan of their menu but there are some snack options. Look online for all you can play special pricing as it can be pricey for a larger family.
Took my little one here and he loved it. Even so it's not what it used to be. I remember this place truly being a play place for kids with what felt like hundreds of games but now it's kinda bland with only about 40 games and no coins or tickets anymore. Was a Lil bummed out tbh.
My son had his birthday party there on Saturday in Harrisburg and I was sincerely disappointed by the dirty facility. The area around our table was completely filthy, the bathroom was disgusting, the staff was very ghetto and it was not an attractive experience to hear employees complain about children. I did not feel that the party was personalized to my child at all. The show lacked the luster it used to have when I was a child. Coming to Chuck E cheese used to be so much fun and now I don't feel that I w
We had a very good time. The place was relatively clean. The line for the prizes was long and we had to wait several minute with various malfunctions, but they were fixed. My 3 year old loved it!
Second time there and loved their pizza. I also like that they changed their coins for cards, so you can play all the games you would like for a certain amount of time. Staff was nice, patient and helpful (I was kind of lost with the change from coins to cards).
Games are super easy. I won like every time. Seems like even a child could win. Update: I took a child this time. It turns out children can win the games after all. Also its way too easy to take the kids.
After visiting multiple Chuck E. Cheese locations in various states, this one stands out as the best. By far. It is clean, caters to toddlers and kids of all ages, has lovely climbing equipment/tubes and all the games/rides work and look great. The service and food is good and Chuck E always comes out and puts on a show. We love it!
A good place for young kids to play and get some lunch. A bit more expensive than it should be for 45 minutes of unlimited playtime on the games. 2 kids, 2 adults, 2 45 minute unlimited playtime cards plus meals cost just under $85.00
We went for a birthday celebration for our daughter who turned 9 years old. We were told by the General Manager Justin that the oven was "broken" for 1.5 hours. During the time of our visit we saw multiple people receive food from the back, such as pizza, wings, and other assorted hot items. While on the way to the bathroom, we observed pizzas coming out of the "broken" oven. After noticing the food coming out, another member of our party asked again about ordering food, and Justin said the oven was broken

My sister and I took my niece and nephew to this location. Never been to chuck e cheese before so it was all new to us. Really figured there would be someone to greet the customers, and ask if they have ever been there before and if not an explanation of how things work would have been nice (how to get play passes) We started out by having pizza.. we waited for a long time, and when it finally came to our table it was barely warm like it had been sitting for awhile. Played the games and had fun. we ended th
Went to Chuck E. Cheese's for a birthday party for our neighbors 5 year old son. My 4 and 5 year olds loved playing the games and winning tickets for prizes. The staff were attentive and professional. We had 2 pizza's cheese and pepperoni honestly I think the pizza was awesome best part was the crust. My 10 month old enjoyed the pizza and ate the pizza the entire time we were there. The mens bathroom could have been maintained better. This was the only negative and overall I highly recommend this faci
Despite a strange overabundance of staff, it was largely a self service experience. Even had to go back to pick up my own pizza to bring to my table. Meanwhile, 6 staff members all standing around talking to each other.
The young lady with the short hair cut at the door always greets us, I believe her name is Jackie. Chuck E, is always in a great mood when she is the one who wakes him up! My 3 year old and I have been coming on Thursdays all summer, and yesterday was our last outing as she starts school. There is some construction, as of 9/2/22 but that doesn't pull away from all of our other visits.
A very fun place to take your children to have a fun time playing games.. ill definately be back.. food was good too, and the employees were very nice
The food is good, the chocolate chip cookie is really good. The salad bar looks fresh. We came as grandparents and our 4 year old grandaughter, our son and daughter in law. My husband and son were just as excited to play the games as our grandaughter. Its a nice family time. It was nice to actually see chuckie E cheese. Years ago when we brought our children he was never here. The restrooms are clean. We couldn't remember what to do as it was years that we were here and the staff was very helpful.
The children love it. We've been here for 3 hours for a 7 year olds birthday. Haven't seen Chuck E Cheese. He's supposed to come out and dance every hour but we haven't seen him once. Food is overpriced. Prizes aren't what they used to be.
A lot of machines don't work. Food and drink is overpriced. It's not bad but it could be better. DID NOT even bother to check to see if my stamp and my children's stamps matched when we left!
Went there tonight for my little brothers birthday party. When we first got there we were greated by a gentleman who was kind, respectful, and friendly he gave us the run down and told us who our party coordinator was going to be. I wish i could remember his name because he was great. Our party coordinator had came out introduced herself. She was great as well very friendly, enthusiastic, and knew how to get the kids up and hyped she was great!!!! I think her name was Sam. Everything went great my kids had
Waited 45 minutes for wings, and when I walked up to the counter and asked about them the worker brought them out. I asked her if they'd been sitting out long and she told me I could touch them to see. She had such an attitude that I waited until the morning to call for a manager, who was also rude, and said "well why didn't you talk to a manager last night?". I had 4 children with me two of which were under the age of 1, and it was a little hectic, so waiting until the morning was best. Neither the manager
Terribly slow service, took 40 minutes to get a salad. Forgot to bring out the cakes and when asked about it they had to pull out another one because they sat out too long. They claimed to be understaffed when you could see 5 employees eating pizza and talking on the phone..... they get 1 star for the fact that the kids don't know any different and still have fun
Horrible service. We sat for an hour and a half before finally being offered a refund. Watched multiple tables being served their food while waiting on a cheese and a pepperoni pizza. Finally, after the 4th time asking where our food was, we were told a "Mentally Challenged" person was working the kitchen and that he sometimes skips over orders. We were then offered a refund. We will never be returning.
This place is frustrating. No matter how you play the games, you end up with 2-5 tickets max. You need to spend a small fortune in order to get a decent prize. It wouldn't be a problem, but they rope you into these "packages" There are coupons and everything. You buy a package and get all these tokens and your kids think they are going to win some sweet prizes. But, even when I played the games, with the ability and skill of an adult, the max payout is 2-5 tickets. I was pretty disappointed.
Staff here were excellent. Recently took my son here for his 5th birthday. We had so much fun and the staff treated him like a king! We'll be back for sure.
HORRIBLE! Had my son's birthday party here yesterday. Never again! I spent a lot of money and was supposed to have a party host, whom I never saw.. the kids never got their food. My son started to open his gifts and they came over and asked me to have him stop because in ten minutes they were going to sing to him. Yeah, let me make a four year old stop. Maybe if I'd have known we would not have started but there was ZERO communication!!!
Very clean .. tons of games... lots of fun. Food is pricey but it was good! All in all i would definitely go back!
Was dreading going here remembering issues it had from a decade or more ago. Time can change things. We had a great time. Generally staff is pleasant and accommodating. All the kids had a fun time. Will certainly go back.
We visit this location about once a month and never have any complaints. The kids have a great time and the lunch buffet is a great deal for the whole family. Everyone always leaves happy, full, and ready for a nap!
Had a birthday party there, it was so much fun. Staff was super helpful and friendly. There was an incident with another patron that they handled immediately. Great experience, will definitely be having more parties.
Terrible terrible place to bring your children. Disgusting. Every single high chair was covered in garbage. Every single one. When I went to go get a rag to clean them, the ONE employee was on her phone doing nothing. Don't go. It's a waste. I promise.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
