A name known for pizza is debuting a new concept, right here in DFW: Called Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World, it’s an entertainment destination for families with young kids from Chuck E. Cheese, the Dallas-based pizza buffet chain, and it will open its very first location in Aarlington, at 1536 W. I-20 off South Cooper Street.
According to a release, it will open on Thursday, November 13.
Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World will be a 12,000-square-foot indoor playground focused entirely on active play. It’s designed for kids from 3 to 8 years old, who can climb, slide, and explore multilevel worlds, with references to stock Chuck E. Cheese characters.
Famous for hosting birthday parties and other kid-centric celebrations, Chuck E. Cheese began expanding more seriously into this realm in 2024 by adding Adventure Zones within existing locations featuring trampolines, obstacle courses, and playgrounds.
Unlike those traditional Chuck E. Cheese entertainment centers — which focus on arcade games, pizza, and prizes — Adventure World is about active play and imagination. Parents can join their kids as they explore a three-story play structure, toddler zone, and dance floor — experiences built on physical activity and storytelling.
Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World features include:
· Immersive themes including space, safari, and pirate voyage
· Climbing structures, slides, tubes, mini soccer court, and obstacles
· Kid Check system to ensure kids stay safe and everyone who arrives together leaves together
· Birthday party packages, with special appearances from Chuck E. Cheese
· Interactive dance floor that lights up with every step
· Dynamic video walls and a digital live show featuring Chuck E. and friends
· Pasqually’s Snack Shop serving Chuck E. Cheese pizza, light treats, and drinks
· No height restrictions, so parents can join in the fun
Pricing is designed for families, at $19.99 per child for all-day access, including two free parent admissions per child, making it an affordable and easy day of fun. For a limited time, guests can enjoy a $2 discount per child Monday-Thursday. Birthday parties start at $100 for six kids.
Chuck E. Cheese and CEC Entertainment CEO David McKillips says in a statement that they’re excited to open the very first Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World in Arlington, calling it “a colossal new experience unlike anything kids have ever seen.”
Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand the brand universe. Several new Adventure World locations are scheduled to open in 2026, bringing the experience to more families nationwide.
