Inside an ABANDONED Chuck E Cheese! - Everything Left Behind!

it's a real shame that memories of both adults and even teenagers are starting to fade away first Toys R Us, now Chuck E Cheese. i'm only in high school but it's still sad seeing these things go, i remember them vividly from when i was a bit younger.

I was the last guy to ever see that chuck. His head was in the trash compactor. In attempt to free him, the machine started. Thank Richard Balboni.

This is so sad. Not just that this place was abandoned, but how all that stuff was just LEFT there to rot, from coins to prizes to games. Even Chucky’s endoskeleton is there, like it’s worthless. Hopefully it all will be put to use again someday. We still have a working, thriving Billy Bob’s Wonderland here where I live. I hope it manages to avoid this fate.

It would honestly be cool if there could be a place for adults to be a kid again, kinda like a throw back nod to Chuck E. Cheese with something from childhood. Adult sized climbing gym thingy, funny arcade games from the 90's and early 2000's.

I work at Chuck E Cheese. My location has been open since 2010 and it has the same games as this one does minus the weird hamster wheel-esque thing. It's really interesting honestly.

no way, this is literally my childhood location I can't believe that much of their animatronic is still left. I literally wanna go here & salvage some of the stuff so bad like I WANT THOSE TICKET MUNCHERS

I'm really surprised they left so much of Chuck's mech behind, considering corporate requires employees nowadays to completely destroy all animatronics upon conversion. They really don't care for their history or for Showbiz Pizza's or anything 😿 I'm still heartbroken that they won't let fans purchase them or donate them to museums etc.

This makes me indescribably sad. I had some fun at Chuck E. Cheese’s, but the real fan was my sister (who is mentally handicapped). We kept going for a long time, just for her. I would do anything (almost) to save this business, because of her. We stopped going before the pandemic because of personal health problems, and now I’m worried to tell her one of her fondest memories is disappearing. I’m trying to hold it off for as long as possible. There are better pizza places, but those arcades made Chuck E. Cheese’s special. They gave something to kids that will never be forgotten. That is of true value in this life, the joyful and precious memories we share with our loved ones.

I am surprised that the shells for Chuck E's lower half and part of his mech was still there, as most locations that closed down had completely removed any proof of the animatronics from what I know. Very interesting.

So as a person who restores arcade machines I would LOVE the opportunity to take all those busted up machines out. There are LOADS of good parts in there. I wonder who owns them...

I'm one of those people that got into Showbiz and Chuck E's because I was introduced to Five Nights at Freddy's when I was 9, for 9 years straight I've been fascinated with these animatronics and I wish this was a childhood I could have experienced. Living in the UK we do not have a Chuck E Cheese's location or anything similar at all. I hoped that one day I could fly out to America to witness the animatronics myself but now locations are shutting down, being renovated with dance floors replacing the animatronics and just being straight up abandoned. Maybe one day I can own an animatronic or two if listings for them ever come up.

Man, I’m 15, and seeing this just is so sad. Everything that pretty much every generation (excluding gen c, ) knows is going away. I’m so happy my local Chuck E. Cheese was not effected and it is still open to this day

The spiders finding out people are back:😳😳😳

So, uh… fun fact. Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 takes place in 2023. PLEASE DON’T GO LOOKING IN SECRET ROOMS!!! Edit: Mom! I’m famous!

I'm used to the videos of places that laid abandoned for decades, so it kinda freaks me out the think, about the fact for these its only been for a few months to a year or two. Granted places like this will never be abandoned for too long due them being in population centers (unless the stores as big as some of the places like the closed KMarts, because those are way too big to repurpose unless by another massive company), but imagine how the kids would feel seeing this a decade or two from now, when the building's power will have been gone, the paint has peeled, and the machines rusted away with moldy plastics and parts randomly salvaged or ripped away. At that time, the younger generations will have forgotten the things that shaped our current lives from 9/11 (Heck, some of the kids that join the military today were born years AFTER and don't seem to understand why it mattered so much to us) to the pandemic. They'll walk in there and see the dried, rotting papers, warning of "Social distancing" and "The don't come to work, if symptoms occur" signs.

a core memory of mine unlocked when you were in the 'fun tubes'. I remember as a kid those were so fun, and sketchy because they shook so much but ALSO you have to be careful running around because the static electricity would build up and if you touched one of the metal rivets you would get a nasty shock!

They should sell the old stuff. Tons of cool games people would enjoy and fix up. Thanks for filming

Yes, the Spray-painting is due to orders from Corporate (most likely, I don't work at CEC and never have but judging from past knowledge of retail + CEC rebrands). All CEC-branded stuff has to be destroyed so it can't be salvaged, picked up looters, reused, or be resold online. It's kinda sad, but all those CEC machines will be destroyed and thrown out. Best case scenario (but unlikely because of the cost) is that they'll be shipped off to other CEC to be used for spare parts. A similar instruction was used when Showbiz Pizza locations were rebranded and transformed into Pizza Time Theaters/Chuck E. Cheese. Even the animatronics' outer character decor (minus shell and wires and the actual robotics) and stage decor was destroyed. Of course, some locations did not follow instructions which is why Showbiz memorabilia can be found online. Anyway, the arcade machines that are not CEC have a better chance at being resold/stripped for parts. From the footage it looks like some have already been torn apart for spare parts. Or maybe looters? Probably looters. IDK. All just speculation :-)

this was my childhood chuck e. cheese i had some really fond memories there. i find it suuuper eerie to see it in it’s current state though. i’m in the area often nowadays and i’ve always wondered what it looked like on the inside after they closed, thank u for fulfilling my curiosity :)

This is the location I went to as a kid since I moved close to that area in 2013. Man, I have so many fond memories of that place. Real shame what happened to the company.
