Chuck E. Cheese

My family has been ready for the Medford location to open since they first announced it a year ago. It’s been decades since I’ve been in one, and my kiddo has never been before since the other locations are hours away.
We went midday on opening day, and it did not disappoint! The space they had to work with wasn’t huge, but they maximized the square footage better than I imagined.
The arcade game area is lined on two sides by booth seating. There are a couple more tables in the middle. The back section has several long party tables and higher bar top seating too.
The front half is traditional arcade games. Pac man, Frogger, TMNT, etc. Along the wall are basketball, ski ball, & soccer type games. The younger kid games are in the middle section. There are several character rides (minions, pj mask, etc) that allow 2 kids to sit together for one price.

This location has a trampoline zone and a ninja run attraction. These are an extra cost to enter and it includes the required gripper socks. My child enjoyed this section the most, and I know to budget in the extra price when we visit.

There’s a large motion activated dance floor where the images move around as you walk across. The younger kids really enjoyed this.
Chuck E Cheese comes out every hour and dances with the kids. He also walked around and took photos with anyone who wanted one.
The party area was larger than I thought it would be, and they are already taking reservations.

I was excited to see they have homeschool days and sensory friendly days once a month.

Medford needed more kid friendly places (especially indoor ones for winter and smoke season). I’m glad to add this to our list of places to visit.
