Chuck E. Cheese is expanding its Adventure World indoor play concept to more than 20 cities nationwide this year and into 2027. Six locations open this year across five states, with more planned for 2027.
Chuck E. Cheese is expanding its Adventure World indoor play concept to more than 20 cities across the United States this year and into 2027, the company announced in a report published by The Toy Book. The rollout begins with six additional indoor playground spaces opening this year in North Dakota, Arizona, New York, Texas, and Nevada, marking a major physical-play push by the family entertainment chain.
Adventure World is an indoor play space built around a three-story structure featuring character-themed worlds. According to the company, the destination is designed for kids ages 3-8 and encourages active, physical play through climbing structures, slides, ball pits, obstacles, and a giant video wall.
Each location includes a dedicated Toddler Zone for kids under 56 inches, along with dining areas, celebration stations for birthday parties, and character-filled entertainment featuring the Chuck E. Cheese cast. The company says the format is intended to combine active play, food, and celebrations in a single venue.
Safety measures include the company’s Kid Check system, which according to Chuck E. Cheese ensures that every family that arrives together leaves together. Following the six openings this year, the expansion continues in 2027 with additional destinations in Michigan, California, Illinois, Colorado, and Missouri.
Why the Adventure World Rollout Matters
The expansion signals Chuck E. Cheese’s bet that demand for weatherproof, screen-free active play venues remains strong among families with young children. By anchoring new locations around a large multilevel playground rather than arcade games alone, the company is repositioning itself in the competitive family entertainment center market.
The rollout also matters for parents: Adventure World’s age range of 3-8, the separate Toddler Zone, and the Kid Check system address common concerns about supervision and age-appropriate play in large indoor playgrounds. The combination of play, dining, and party stations in one venue is aimed squarely at the birthday party and celebration market that has long been central to the brand’s business.
For the cities named in the rollout — from North Dakota to Nevada this year, and Michigan through Missouri in 2027 — the openings represent new family entertainment options and local retail-space tenants.
Chuck E. Cheese’s Play-Focused Pivot
: “Chuck E. Cheese, long known for its arcade games, animatronic characters, and pizza, has in recent years shifted toward experiential, physical-play offerings as part of a broader family entertainment industry trend. Adventure World is the company’s indoor playground concept, emphasizing movement and imagination over token-based gaming.
The concept debuted with an initial wave of locations, and the newly announced expansion brings it to more than 20 cities nationwide. The company points to family feedback as the driver of the format’s growth. Information for visitors is available at adventureworld.fun.
“Families have told us they want a place where kids can move and use their imagination all day, with food and celebrations built right in. That’s exactly what we built. Now we get to share it with kids in a lot more cities.”
— Randy Forsythe, President of Chuck E. Cheese
Details Still to Be Announced
The company has not announced specific opening dates for the six locations opening this year, nor exact addresses for most of the planned venues. The full list of cities beyond the states named for 2026 and 2027 has not been disclosed, and the company said only that the expansion covers “more than 20” locations without a precise final count.
Pricing, hours, and reservation policies for the new Adventure World locations have also not been detailed in the announcement. Whether any existing Chuck E. Cheese venues will be converted into Adventure World formats, or whether all sites are new builds, was not specified.
Openings Ahead Through 2027
Six Adventure World locations are set to open this year at select sites in North Dakota, Arizona, New York, Texas, and Nevada. The expansion then continues in 2027 with new destinations in Michigan, California, Illinois, Colorado, and Missouri, with additional cities expected as part of the more-than-20-location rollout.
Families can track announcements and location details through the company’s dedicated site, adventureworld.fun. Further specifics on opening dates and individual venue features are expected to be released as each location approaches its debut.
