I actually remember clearly my parents taking me here to the Kooser rd location when I was little. Had to be in the 1980s I remember the cheese house or fun house inside. I don’t recall the exact name, but it always creeped me out. I remember as a kid it was always quite difficult to find my way out of the cheese house.

I also wish the original Winchester Blvd. location had never closed. That was the store that began the company on May 17, 1977, and I think its February 1985 closing was due to the video game crash of '83 and the subsequent resignation of its founder Nolan Bushnell as CEO.

Why bother going in? There's nothing in there. They trash & take out everything before they close down the store permanently. If anything you're going find in there it's homeless people or worse.. dangerous people. Druggies. Tweakers. They're the beings you're going encounter if you enter place this. Or much worse.. a chuck e cheese mascot with knife or gun dressed by gang member. Possibly? Never go in somewhere unknown that's abandoned. It's not chuck e cheese anymore it was before. It's not now. It's place for bad people or unlively people. Edit.
