Chuck E. Cheese’s

The food was discussing an there’s no limit on how many people are in the building so so it’s a shit show to get anything

My three year old really enjoyed the games and the pizza. We went for lunch on a Wednesday. As we expected, there wasn’t many people. The employees were nice and attentive. There were a variety of games for children of all ages. Chucky came out and did a little dance for the kids. My son’s favourite part was putting all the tickets won from the games into the ticket counter.

Oh man, this place is the best and the worst
Pro: cheap parties
Con: screaming kids
Pro: Beer & wine
Con: light & limited to 2 beers
Pro: skeeball!
Con: games always broken.
Verdict: go to monster mini golf instead

I went to this restaurant tonight so that my son could play the games and have some fun and over the hours of playing the games not once did anyone come around and santize the games after so many people were touching them.
So I went looking for a hand sanitizer and they only had one at the exit as you were leaving. They should be set up all over the restaurant.

I better start this by stating I don’t have kids, so I don’t go to Chuck E Cheese’s a lot. In fact, even as a child I didn’t go a lot. So my four stars may be based on that alone. Plus there is pizza. Awesome!
This past Mother’s Day, I decided to treat my mom to an hour of skeeball (except she was a typical mom who had actual cash for the coin machine so I owe her). It was especially fun for my mom as she had never played skeeball and had definitely never played it to get tickets she could redeem for a prize. We were lucky — turns out Mother’s Day may be the least hectic day at this establishment (read: very few children). My mother had so much fun sharing and learning skeeball tips from the other moms and was as excited as a kid at… well…Chuck E Cheese’s, that I think I may have found our new tradition. Also recommend this place for a date night — great way to learn how your significant other deals with competition and screaming children who may not follow social skills like waiting one’s turn.

My kids love this place. I’m ok with it but do find the place a little rough around the edges. The games aren’t always functional, it is busy, but overall it isn’t bad. The pizza is actually pretty good and the games are all only 1 token each.

Alright Unilocalers!
Woah Chucke E Cheese is a BLAST! Theres only 1 in Calgary and its super easy to get to.
Transit:
Take the CTrain to Rundle Station and walk towards The Bay in Sunridge Mall. Google maps says its a 17 min walk from Rundle to ChuckE E Cheese ut it only took us 5. Its open until 10pm on Sunday so the mall was closed when we headed. Theres a nice path going around the side of the bay to follow and leads you right to the restaurant!
Norm and I dont have any kids but I was stoked to go for my birthday — kinda expensive.
Food :
We got a combo one — med pizza/​2 drinks/​20 tokens for $ 40 and added the salad bar for an additional $ 18. Everything was fresh ans yummy. Ordered Cheese Bread for $ 8 which is just a 6″ pizza with cheese folded in half and cut into 4 pieces and comes with ranch dip — it was good but totally overpriced.
System runs pretty smoothly. You order, they give you a number, you stick it to your table and they bring it out. Alao the pop is free refills that you fill yourself.
Salad bar was good but we didnt eat enough to make ot worth the price, would not get it again but it was nice.
Layout:
The first ¹⁄₃ is «older kids games» /​The second ¹⁄₃ is «toddler games» /​The third ¹⁄₃ is birthday party time. We went at 8pm on a sunday and it wasnt too busy. I like that all the games are 1 token. My fav was the shooting hoops game and Norm loved the fast&furious driving game.
And on friday&saturday there open until 11pm!
All in all it was an awesome night. We had a blast and would go back for sure. Expect maybe next time eat before we go and just buy pop and tokens :)

Only 1 Chuck E Cheese’s in Calgary = Mayhem on a Saturday!
Was here for a 2 year old’s bday party on a Saturday… talk about CRAZY and LOUD, bells and alarms every which way and felt like there were millions of kids screaming and running everywhere haha… It was sooo busy that there were line ups for rides and some games (for the little ones of course — haha).
If you’re there for a bday party, don’t line up… head on in to the gate on the left side and let them know, they’ll let you bypass the line (Thank goodness!)
Food: pizza, fries, an app platter (with chicken wings, celery, fried cheese, etc) and a salad bar.
Phew… was exhausted after 3 hrs! :) haha.

I’m with Ms. B. on this one. Back in the day, Chuck E Cheese used to be the *bleep*. Now… well now it’s where I take a big group of kids when I do not have the patience to do arts & crafts until their hearts content.
Chuck E Cheese used to be my ‘heaven on earth’ growing up as a kid. Now, it’s my salvation when I’m babysitting :)

This place used to be the cat’s meow, but now the Cheese is starting to stand alone in my books, at least. 3 stars because every youngster I have ever brought to this place is so happy, you are their hero for taking them, if you can muster the courage to go. This place used to be kind of fun but now its kind of boring. Its like a kiddie casino/​nightclub where kids run rampant and unsupervised by their parents. most days of the week. Foodies should stay the hell away; The salad bar is pretty crummy by anyones standards (avoid it) but the pizza is digestible. Unlimited pop!
I try to put on a good face and act like its all good, and my kids seem to have fun burning off steam here, but I always feel kind of tarnished after an evening at Chuckee’s. Pinball machines and arcade games in the amusement gallery have been mostly phased out and replaced with what my family calls «gambling» machines, insipid electronic games of chance where kids and parents plug in their coins and try to win tickets, no skill required. not very much entertainment value for us. Be quick about getting any tickets you may win from a «gambling» machine, youngsters are cruising around at knee level, ready to snatch your tickets from the dispenser if you are not watching. It has happened to me and my kids, but now we watch each other’s backs Tickets are redeemed at this small counter for cheap little toys and stickers. A large indoor climbing apparatus that I can only assume is cleaned nightly stands in the middle of the space. The stage show with the animatronic characters is at the far end of the restaurant. The show is predictable but manages to capture most children’s attention while they eat. I would like this place more if they brought back the fun arcade games.
The last time I was here a biker gang was staging a party for one of their children, which was a unusual sight, but not an entirely uncomfortable situation.
Security is very good here; when guests enter, they all get their hands stamped, and they have to show their hands to a staff member when they leave, that way the kids all leave with the adult they came in with, and the youngsters who work here try their best… I give props to the kid who puts on the Chuck-​E-​Cheese costume and shuffles around awkwardly in the arcade area. Its a classy touch.
