Chuck E Cheese's ...."Where a kid can be a kid" blah blah I have been to this location a lot of times and even enjoyed playing here when i was a kid my self, now i bring my nephew here to enjoy the place but lately this place has been annoying, way to small and to many people in here over all i am surprised the fire Marshall does not come in here and close down the place for allowing so many people in here when it is so crowed you can barely walk around and you find your self lost in this very small location. I give it one star because of the over crowding and how small this place is, I think it is time they expand or i plan on taking my nephew to the one in Waterford lakes.

I remember loving C.E.C. when I was a kid. Didn't get to go too often, it was always a special occasion or possibly a friend's birthday. When I walked into the Altamonte Springs location last Friday with my buddy, his four year old son and his wife I was shocked at how different this kid friendly chain looked compared to my greasy memories. What I recalled as an expansive pizza parlor packed with interactive games and activities had become a small cafeteria teeming with kids and harsh neon lights. Went in with a coupon: One large one topping pizza, 4 drinks and 50 tokens. We also added a salad bar and a small order of wings. That all came to over $50.00! I was shocked. The wings were teeny tiny. They looked like the pathetic wings 7-11 used to sell a few years back. The salad bar was okay as was the pizza but comprehending the price point for this meal compared to both the quality and quantity of goods served was flummoxing. Was the up-charge strictly for the games/entertainment? Hard to say as the video game area was pretty small. They had their decent selection in the ticket-spewing arcade but the area in general was cramped. There was a nice area for kids to have birthday parties in the back of the building, an animatronic C.E.C. was up there singing about Summer and friends and pizza and such. The few kids who were celebrating that night seemed to be pretty so/so about the whole production though. One thing I would like to mention was the employees and their customer service. I was very impressed. Lord knows working at a place like that (especially when you're in your teens/20somethings) can try your patience from clock in to clock out. That said, every worker I encountered was not only patient but also going all in for the kids, making sure they were having a great time. Kudos--job well done. They may not have the old ball crawl I recall fishing for loose change in as a young DTz, but they do have great staff making up for all that may be lacking. Chuck E. Cheese is a far cry from what I remember, but the young boy I went with seemed to have a good time as did the other kids running around. I would like to add that every game in the place only required one token to play. That in itself is is a nice nod to the consumer even though everything else seemed to be prices a bit high. Maybe go for the games and hit up Checkers down the street afterward, save yourself about 40 bucks.

Came here with my four year old today. There were very few families there but it was around 1 in the afternoon on a Friday so kids were not out of school yet. My daughter had fun. I was not really impressed by the arcade games but my daughter liked them and that's all that matters. Pizza was okay, the same quality I find at little Caesars. We did get checked in and out with the stamps at the door. However there were times when the man at the front to stamp families had to step away to run the register. We spent 40 dollars for a medium pizza 2 drinks and lots of tokens. My daughter is happy. Success.

We had a great experience, but I think day and time was a factor for us having a great time. We arrived when Chuck E Cheese opened and left at 1:30 when things started to pick up. Generally, this establishment was clean and staff friendly. 2 machines broke while we were there, but the staff fixed then immediately and returned our lost token. My toddler enjoyed all the machines and the little show. The food is not healthy, so don't expect much in that department. A lot of people are critical of the pizza; however, I think the pizza was decent and hand made. It's pricey for quality, but kids like it. On a side note, they gave us cheese, even though we asked for pepperoni toppings. We didn't send it back--just dealt with it. I noticed that the only other family there (a father and toddler son) when we arrived left without being checked at the door. That's not reassuring. I think the door stamp gives a false sense of security. Hopefully parents keep constant tabs on their kids. Overall, it was a good experience, but I would not venture in on an evening or weekend. I would like to see the door 100% staff covered.

Not a bad way for a family to spend an evening, especially if you get a coupon out of the paper. Then you get a large pizza, 4 drinks and tokens for $20. There are a variety of carnival and arcade games like skee ball, racing games, ride on toys, etc. My favorites were the ones that took your picture. They had one that took your kid's picture and printed it out on a plastic card and another that did a sketch with the date; a nice keepsake. There is a climbing tunnel that is suspended in the air which is cool. The Chuck E Cheese character comes out about every hour and walks around and waves to the kids. The pizza is not good but kids won't complain. Thankfully for adults they sell beer, and you might need it because there is an annoying loop of kiddie music/videos that repeats about every hour. There was salad bar that I wouldn't be brave enough to try (it looked like it had been sitting for a while). The place is a little dirty, even when it wasn't busy there was trash laying around. I was going to give it 2 stars but I really like the security they have in place. When you arrive they stamp the adults and kids with the same number. When you leave they check to make sure everyone's numbers match. You can rest a little easier knowing it'll be harder for someone to take off with your kid!
