Chuck E. Cheese is expanding Adventure World, its indoor playground concept for children aged three to eight, with plans to bring the format to more than 20 additional cities through 2026 and 2027. The three-storey play spaces are built around character-themed environments, giving children room to climb, explore and create their own routes through the space.
Each location also includes a dedicated Toddler Zone for younger children, creating a separate play area within the larger playground. Chuck E. Cheese’s Kid Check system remains part of the experience, helping families keep track of their group from arrival through to departure.
The expansion brings more activities into the same setting as Chuck E. Cheese’s food and party offering. By combining indoor play, dining and celebrations in one location, Adventure World gives families another option for birthdays and everyday outings, particularly when outdoor activities are less practical.
