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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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

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.

The spiders finding out people are back:😳😳😳

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 :-)

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!

I definitely love the old mouse better and it looks so sad seeing everything left behind but so cool that you got to check out everything. Did you have to get permission to go in or did you sneak inside?

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

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.

The best thing with the slides, is how much static electricity you got, and zapping your friends. 😁

Speaking of all the tokens you found, at a Chuck E. Cheese location near me (Altoona PA.) it was originally a Showbiz Pizza location, and when I put a coin into one of the machines that gives you tokens to put in the slots, I got a Showbiz Pizza coin and I still have it!!! I used to have a Pizza Time Theater Token too, but it slid into a slot between two very close-together seats of a car that got in an accident and was scrapped for parts :(

Aww man. I wanted a whole building tour 😂 show me the kitchen and manager's office, all that bts stuff we as kids never saw

I worked at one for 2 years as a teenager and played as Chucky every day for those years. It was actually alot of fun to work there. ❤

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!

The fact that these are most likely the last Chuck E. Cheese sky tubes though!!!

I grew up going to this exact location at the mall in Leominster Massachusetts. Shame that it’s all run down, that whole mall is being shut down little by little. Hopefully they’ll do something with it soon that’s worthwhile

Interesting, I'm surprised they left any parts of the Studio C mech there. Most of the time the animatronics are one of the things to get fully removed from a location that closes permanently. I wonder if the location either had a 16 or 32 movement Studio C? My guess is 16 judging by the shoulder structure of the mech and the absence of the foot tap movement. Also one of those ticket munchers is pretty decently intact.

Creepy 😂 but so wild to remember the memories and to see how everything decays

Five Nigths At Freddys

It amazes me that urban explorers like you get into these places and that so much is kept behind.

Imagine being in a place that is off limits and abandoned and you dont ever notice in rhe shadows there's an animatronic original chucky just watching and waiting for the power to go out to attack.

When i was little i always thought Chuck E. Cheese was huge and filled with the best games and huge play area. It’s incredible how they dialed back all those arcade games and rides due to expenses. A few years ago, I got a glimpse of what Chuck E. Cheese had become which was an empty husk of what it once was. Honestly, this is the reality of alot of arcade places. Even Dave and Buster’s isn’t the same anymore

This is boosting-up nostalgia but this looks so eeire, sad to see it closed down & kinda interesting to watch :O

It makes me sad that kids cannot experience what we did growing up but all things change and people move on i guess. Life .

I love seeing old ballpits or ballpools and seeing the adults act like big kids just warms my heart ❤️

finally someone doesn't like the new chuckie I thought I was the only one

And before there was CHUCKEE CHEESE, we had, my generation, SHOWBIZ PIZZA!!! They all turned into CHUCKEE Cheese…Absolutely amazing

I remember loving this place my mom used to work for one back in the 80's and it was a huge Chuck E Cheese. Brings back memories.

I used to love go to Chuck E. Cheese when I was a kid until now I’m an adult now, I don’t go to Chuck E. Cheese anymore…..childhood memories! ❤❤

I loved taking my kids here many years ago. Well done!

The reason they spray painted the machine was because it is company policy that when a location closes or remodels they are required to vandalize or destroy the machines and animatronics or trash them leaving no trace of them left. They do this so no fans take the things and sell them on sites like eBay and stuff because they are very protective of their copyright and sometimes sue people who make games with their characters But yea

Lots of Chuck E Cheese locations are closing: this one they said due to bankruptcy, another one, in a video from another youtuber I've been watching, due to 5 kids disappearing, and a lot due to health issues, that were before COVID. I'm surprised none of them are closing for public disturbances leading to fights.

Thats creepy that the animatronic is still there, it would've been creepier if it had the costume on it and started moving, FNAF vibes

This vid has a liminal space vibe

Not only are locations closing, the animatronic shows too. They're replacing our childhood and scary animatronics to a Janitor dressed up as Chuck E. and dancing on a dance floor.

Watched a few of your videos and loved them so much I had to subscribe! The 90's places you go to bring happiness and nostalgia 😁🎈 thank you for your time and videos

You can't even tell it's abandoned, which should be an indicator of how things are going for the chuck e cheese corporation.

The Chuck bot was there actually. That hunk of metal on the stage without a head is what’s left of him

So many memories as a kid there. Times have changed, sad to see them all pretty much going away.

My “home” Chuck E Cheese was on the corner of the strip mall so it had a lot of depth to it. It became an antique store but it might be vacant again. They gutted the stage, but the backdrop is the same as I remembered. I don’t think I had my birthday there, but have celebrated others birthdays there-among play dates and side stuff. Loved the Tower of Power game and tend to find them at other arcades at indoor water parks at ski resorts (I’m not a skier/snowboarder which makes that funnier). I actually went to a different one once and they had a completely different audio animatronic show

15:09 I absolutely hated being anywhere close to that game😂 scared the living crap outta me, god I friggin hate balloons 😂

I wonder if you could take those tickets and bring them to a location that's still open and redeem them 😂

I remember going to Chuck E. Cheeses, used to go in the late 90s to early 2000s, as a kid, closest one for me, was in the Summit City of Fort Wayne, Indiana, the one is still around today, probably around there since the early 90s. Did enjoy the games, the food, fun & entertainment, and seeing Chuck E. and his friends and the birthday parties. Great memories. Chuck E. Cheeses, a great place for being Kid. Great video. Keep making more videos.

Just binged all your videos last night while trying to got o bed and fell and love with all of them! And subscribed!

As someone who experienced Chuck E' Cheese back in the early 2000s (when I was 7 or 8), my fondest memories was probably the little camera crew section in the back where you could pretend to mix audio and use actual camera feed that were hooked up to the stores actual cameras. The pizza was kinda meh, but everything from the little jungle gym, to the sketchbook booth, to the arcade games just brought probably the best experience a kid could've asked for.

I’m shocked to see my hometown location! So many memories

Perhaps you can contact any of the living Chuck E. Cheese locations if they want ANYTHING from that abandoned Chuck E. Cheese with their permission.

I can believe all the stuff left behind. I had my 8th birthday at chuck e cheese in San Jose, i remember their birthday cake being ridiculously sweet, like too sweet for an 8 year old. Great video, thanks for the memories

I remember visiting my local CEC when I first moved to my current hometown in 91. I used to fling pennies in the coin-slot of the arcade game 1942 and it gave me game credit. I did that A LOT!!! I bet the management was pissed about that. Good times.

This is such a cool video crazy how the power is on! Love spots like this 😊

I remember when I went to a Chuck E. Cheese years ago and it's been over three years since that happened currently I looked at the place on Google maps and it is now abandoned shut down and has been abandoned for years now sing any Chuck E. Cheese gives me so many memories😢

If this was a fictional movie or a video game, you probably would’ve found a dark secret in the back rooms that would try and kill you! Suddenly very glad real life isn’t that kind of horror show! Jokes aside, I remember this one Chuck E Cheese I went to when I was younger that had a small section that played Veggie Tales stuff. Wish I could’ve found that one again before everything shut down…..and before I turned 18 (I’m turning 25 this June 29th)!

They need to invest in a chuck e cheese for adults. That would be cool.

I miss the good old times in Chuck-E-Cheese, too bad it went out of business in 2020 when the pandemic started

Never got to go to Chuck E. Cheese's but it was still a nostalgia trip of arcade-type places and 90's/early 2000s decor.

I watched too many fnaf walk-throughs. I was expecting a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic to show up, or an abandoned mascot suit to show up at some point. And someone joking around and putting the costume on to scare the camera guy... Yeah, seen too much fnaf. Still feel good nostalgia from this video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, that was a lot of fun.🙂

It's in surprisingly terrific condition given it's been abandoned for 3 years

Sad to see it, I'm nearly 50 and I remember having bdays there. One time the token machine was open and we were able to get buckets of tokens. Non stop games...fun times n memories! The pizza wasn't the best but we went there for the games more so!!!!

The animatronics are coming you need to run now

Ahhh, good memories. Thank you for posting

Imagine the lights shut off and then eyes light up while music from a music box plays.

I would be absolutely grateful to be you guys and be able to explore places people may never be able to relive or visit again.

Will there be a part two that explores some of the back rooms like kitchen, backstage, etc? Great video!

Where's that at?

Like literally stepping in a real life liminal space. Creepy!! Yet….nostalgic

imagine they open the curtains and find a headless Chucky, Helen smashed, and then a chainsaw in a dumpster, and blood.

I haven't seen those ticket munchers in years, the nostalgia that I got when I saw it hit hard. It's one of the many things I missed, ever since they replaced them with digital tickets on the cards. Is there anyone else who was afraid of the Ticket Munchers as a child, or was it just me?

We still have 2 Chuck E Cheese locations left and one of them still has the animatronic gang! I got to show it to my daughters. 🥰 It wasn't as significant to them though. 😢

This is literally FNAF IRL

Recently, I went to the Chuck E Cheese in Nanuet. It was a cool location to visit. I went there two times before, once in 2018 and then again in early 2020, which was around the time CEC Entertainment filed for bankruptcy and closed a lot of their locations including the one in this video

I never knew they had a operation video game! I always played that game at home.. good finds there..👏🏻

Hey guys, just started watching all your really great videos, they're amazing, I really love your narrating to and the things that your showing us, such great places in the US (I'm from England), really love your accents to so cool. Keep safe. Andy. 😊👍😊

Dude this is so cool!

Woah I've been looking for stuff like abandoned chuck .e chese now this is the. Best wow!

The guy you met in the slide is Chucky’s new manager. I love how he just sits there and watches (“I’m not security, come right in.”)😆

See if I ever got a chance to go to these places id try and plug in the games/toys and see if they still worked and play with them and I wouldnt even care it would be EPIC!! 😆 OMG I love the Pharoah coin pusher!! 🤗

Used to go to Chucky Cheese all the time as a kid, but I stopped going after I found a token in my pizza.

Talk about real world liminal spaces and creepy vibes! But in reality it's sad to see it closed down. I had great memories at Chuck E. Cheese as a kid in the 90's.

Wow nostalgia! When I use to go to Chucky Cheeses I don’t remember the the running game

No way I remember that train from my childhood omg I miss those days 😢

Its all fun in games until you hear loud robotic footsteps

Even though the renewed version still really sad that they closed it as a whole! I never visited one but i do know how it is to have a fun place to be,even with your family in the future but to se it closed after years.This shows that nothing lasts forever sadly in this world,especially corporated stuff that costed allot of money!

Ngl, totally would kill to have a cec ticket muncher, they were comforting to me back in the day. Hearing the constant "munch munch munch" as it took my tickets was very relaxing to me as an undiagnosed ASD kid.

I have good memories of CEC, Bullwinkle’s, and other pizzeria fun center related places. Sadly we don’t see these sort of places as much, anymore.

20 years from now, this place will look REEALLY abandoned.

the lights go out and freddy's music plays you know its over

This is in Leominster MA, a shame because it was my childhood one. The mall it is in is sooner or later gonna go downhill

I misss using tickets instead of online and I miss the play place
