I am so glad my girls are over going to this place. Half the time when we went it was filthy dirty and half of the games weren’t working. My friends and I referred to this placeas the rat house-I even have a friend who tells her children the only time Chuck E. Cheese’s open is for birthday parties. For my time and money I would much rather drive out to the country and go to the mineshaft and play their games and their food is much better too. The pizza at Chucky cheese sucks!

I was just there this past Friday night and I was less than impressed. My son seemed to have a decent time, but I was wishing that I had packed some sanitzer in my purse. The place was filthy. Not just the games and the floors and tables– but the other parents too. Can you say ghetto? I thought the fact that this was Brookfield would help, but no, it did not. The employees were fine, but the odd thing was is they seemed just as mortified to be working there, as I did being there. We didn’t even bother with the over priced pizza– because let’s be honest– I knew it wasn’t going to be worth it. While I will admit it is incredibly cheap, it didn’t come out that way in the long run because the next morning I had to pay for a doctors bill and pink eye medication… And might I just add my son has never had this before so I am absolutely convinced that he got it from here. I would spend a few extra dollars and take the indoor entertainment to somewhere that you don’t have to worry about contracting meningitis. –Emma

I don’t have any children, and with good reason. I don’t really care to be around them, but I’m huge among the under-6 crowd and the girl has eleven brothers and sisters and so we always kids over at our place. The girl wanted to take them to this place to eat bad pizza and play games and be loud. I don’t know how I got suckered into it, but there I was. As a non-breeder, I could make a convincing argument that this place is, in fact, the version of Hell depicted by Dante. Dante’s Hell, like Chuck-E-Cheese, was guarded by three terrifying creatures. It was hidden from the sun. It was full of people being tortured by their bad decisions. They might as well hang a sign out front that says«Abandon Hope — All Ye Who Enter Here». No, seriously. I’m not being hyperbolic at all. It’s an awful place. But, I’m an adult and apparently this place is meant for children. The ones we were supervising seemed to enjoy themselves with the games and the pizza and the rides and all of that. The youngest one shared my distrust and fear of the gigantic talking rat, but honestly who wouldn’t react with some trepidation at such a sight? She’s obviously the smartest of the bunch. The pizza is pretty terrible, which I’m sure goes without saying. I didn’t try any of the other food, although they do have a pretty decent sized salad bar that the girl(Vegetarian) proclaimed adequate. The staff was nice enough, even if they did look like they had been on the front line of a war for the last six months. Security was super heavy at this place, which was a bit disconcerting. Do things really get that out of hand at Chuck-E-Cheese? What situation could possibly arise that could not be dealt with handily by the terrifying trio of gigantic Rat, Bear/and whatever that other thing is. I’m not sure what I find more scary, those three monstrosities or the idea that they need back-up, even if said backup comes in the form of octogenarian security guards. At any rate, I wouldn’t go back here if you paid me but I’m not a child and the children seemed to have a fine time.

Games were out of tickets but they did do their best to keep things running. Lots of prizes to choose from. Security to help in the aid of children not leaving with the wrong adult. I do have to say that other than the soda area(they tried their best cleaning multiple times) the place was clean.

This Chuck E Cheese is awesome. It’s big, it’s clean, it’s well-designed. Plenty of seating. A large party room, coupled with plenty of seating throughout, including a nice toddler area. They are conscientious about keeping the games operating well. We’ve seen them going around in the morning, right after opening, testing each one and making sure they’re all fully loaded with tickets. The salad bar is kept well-stocked, and they periodically haul Chuck E out to walk around and wave at the kids. We’ve been to dozens of CEC’s over the years, locally and while traveling, and this is definitely a contender for top-of-the-list.
