Why is Chuck E. Cheese expanding Adventure World locations? Penfield, N.Y. - Chuck E. Cheese is bringing a new concept to the Rochester area. The company is putting the finishing touches on its new Adventure World at BayTowne Plaza, off Empire Boulevard in Penfield near the Webster town line. Rickey Moore, director of field training for Chuck E. Cheese, said Adventure World is designed around active play that allows kids to use their imagination. "They can run through, there's interactive things to do inside of the structures, there's ball pits, there's Legos, there's climbing structures, swinging climbing bags," Moore said. "Just a bunch of things where kids can be free to have a good time and burn off some energy." Moore said the location also has an interactive video wall, arcade games, a photo booth and a smaller play area for toddlers, among other features. "It's very kid-friendly, absolutely, and it's designed for the parents to get involved," Moore said. "There no size restrictions, no height restriction, no weight restriction, no age restriction on the structures, with the exception of the toddler zone." Moore said opening day for the public is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 11. The BayTowne location will be the company's fourth Adventure Zone to open. "We still have our traditional Chuck E. Cheeses like we do over in Greece on Ridge Road, and those will not change. They're going to be the same. We still have that full-on arcade experience, your traditional Chuck E. Cheese," Moore said. "Adventure World is our secondary brand. We are opening up 20 of those between now and the end of 2027 across the country." SPONSORED CONTENT MORE TO EXPLORE

We will never send spam or annoying emails. Unsubscribe anytime. Unlike the traditional arcade-focused Chuck E. Cheese experience, Adventure World is centered on active and imaginative play. Locations range from 12,000 to 18,000 square feet or more, with multilevel climbing structures, slides, ball pits, obstacles, and a dedicated toddler area. For parents who remember chasing high scores and feeding tokens into arcade games, consider this the next generation's version of a Chuck E. Cheese day out. Kids can explore themed areas inspired by Chuck E. Cheese characters, including the space-themed Munch's Cosmic Bounce, fairy tale-inspired Bella's Castle Quest, underwater Jasper's Bubble Reef, and Chuck E.'s Jungle Temple. Locations also feature a giant video wall and digital live show starring Chuck E. and friends. There's no word on whether any of the climbing structures will require the same determination it once took to earn enough tickets for the prize-counter jackpot. The pizza isn't going anywhere, though, so at least one piece of the childhood Chuck E. Cheese experience will look familiar to parents. The concept debuted in Arlington, Texas, in November 2025. Chuck E. Cheese now plans to expand Adventure World to more than 20 U.S. communities in 2026 and 2027, with Chesterfield among the locations announced for next year. "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," Chuck E. Cheese president Randy Forsythe said in a statement. "That's exactly what we built. Now we get to share it with kids in a lot more cities." Adventure World offers all-day admission for kids rather than timed play sessions. Families can also grab pizza, wings, nachos, and popcorn at the Power Up Station, and the concept will offer birthday parties, field trips, playdates, and group events. An exact Chesterfield location, opening date, and admission pricing have not yet been announced. Chuck E. Cheese says additional details will be released as plans are finalized.
