Chuck E. Cheese

This is a popular, friendly neighborhood lay place with functioning, well-managed security upon entrance and exit. Well-organized for birthday parties and similar kinds of events, where the staff will help out bring out the mouse, sing and clap, serve pizza and cake, and help dole out the goods. The games are designed to deliver tickets and appeal to kids six and younger, in general. Like everything in Brooklyn and New York, space is a little tight, but things are cleanly kept and there’s plenty of seating for weary adults. There are food and drink options basically fit for a rest-stop, which is both fine (solid cheap options) and also one area the parent corporation might explore updating for modern tastes (a craft IPA? Some kind of Impossible Burger?). Further, there appears to be a precious and limited number of ticket counting machines: this is not the fault of staff, but that many consistently broken machines leads to headaches at the close. This isn’t the fault of the staff, but the managers/investors/operators. They might use low interest rates to peel off a focused makeover of some spots inside, this included - the same is true of the entire mall. Nevertheless, we’ve undertaken the journey a few times now and the children always walk away happy. That’s why it gets the hi-5 here.

EDIT: Look at the link in their response -- it doesn't work! Speaks to their attention to customer service. They’ve had some very, very aggressively priced takeout deals, but even given my rock-bottom expectations for the quality of the food I was disappointed. Flavorless, vaguely disgusting, horribly unappetizing in how it was presented, and portions were small as well. Not recommended at all.

My children had a really great time. Just be prepared to deal with a lot of people on any given day. To be honest there will always be some parents that just seem to not want to have a great time but try to stay away from them and you and your children will enjoy yourselves. Also a heads up you can buy 500 tickets for 4.99 to have a better choice of prizes at the end. Thank me later

The staff is great. Food is overpriced. And the games are fun. Honestly it's a great place. The only issue is the customers. Some of them are deplorable. Them and their kids destroy bathrooms. Kids act like they have no home training and when you see their parents you know where they get it from. I feel sorry for this staff because I believe they deal with that stupidity everyday.

Located inside of Atlantic Mall close to the Barclay's center. Great way to have your child exert some pent-up energy as most children need to. Child is able to roam free without fear of leaving the premises because of a stamp received when the family initially enters the establishment. I used to really dislike Chuck E cheese but they have improved over the years making the games all mostly one credit so the kids are able to enjoy themselves even if it's for a short period of time. Of course they get tickets but the prizes are not that great but the children are happy with whatever they can get it's sort of a reward for having fun and who doesn't like that
