Four years after exiting bankruptcy, Chuck E. Cheese is making a comeback, thanks to a dramatic makeover to introduce its games and pizza to a new generation.

After exiting bankruptcy, Chuck E. Cheese and its stores underwent a makeover, giving today’s locations a very different look. Gone are the animatronics, SkyTube tunnels and physical tickets of yore. Instead, trampolines, a mobile app and floor-to-ceiling JumboTrons have replaced them.

Well You Might As Well Jump

And then came the trampolines. https://www.chuckecheese.com/trampolines/

The company first tested the trampolines in Brooklyn and then in Miami, St. Louis and Orlando. As of December, 450 Chuck E. Cheese locations now have kid-sized trampolines. And unlike the SkyTubes or ball pits of the past, customers have to pay extra to use trampolines. (The ball pits disappeared from Chuck E. Cheese locations in 2011.)

Michigan locations include, Dearborn, Novi, Sterling Heights, Portage, Troy, Canton, Roseville and others.

How Many Locations Are Left?

The chain has 470 U.S. locations currently

The annual revenue grew from $912 million in 2019 to roughly $1.2 billion in 2023, according to Reuters. And that's with fewer open Chuck E. Cheese locations. Chuck E. Cheese now has trampolines in over 100 locations

Can Adults Use The Trampolines?

Sounds like a silly question but I had to ask. And the answer is No, adults are generally not permitted on Chuck E. Cheese trampolines. According to Chuck E. Cheese's website, their trampolines are designed for younger kids and have a height restriction of 56". This is to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests, particularly for the younger children who may be using the trampolines.
