Exploring An Abandoned Chuck E. Cheese In Texas 

This was my Chuck E Cheese! Located in White Settlement. When I was a child, it was a Showbiz Pizza. There was a Toys R Us next door. Would go here every birthday, and than Toys R Us afterwards to spend my birthday money. Been here hundreds of times. All my nieces and nephews had their birthday parties here as well. A shame it’s no more

So this is where these creepy nostalgic pictures come from.

I just quit my job of 25 years with them. I was a part of the team that closed these locations. Most of the time we were only given 24 hours to clear everything that was reusable at another nearby location and abandon everything else. I was a tech. I spent 25 years keeping these stores running. The show, kitchen, gameroom, and cash areas working. To see it all torn down and discarded broke my heart. I lost a part of my soul doing these shutdowns and I'm glad I took the chance to move on. Your vid gives me a bit of closure about it though. Thanks.

Guy: it’s so silent That moment when you realize that was a place that was alway full of kids having fun playing games having parties and (no pun intended) just being a kid the place is now dead no more parties to be had no more games to be played no more high scores no more awesome pizza

This kinda hurts my heart seeing a Chuck E Cheeses place get vandalized like this...

I’m happy this isn’t like “don’t go to chuck e cheese’s at three am.” Like bruh.

It sucks how this specific location that had so much history closed and has been really damaged and everything... Granted some of this stuff was done by the corporation themselves

Everybody gansta until you find a rotting chuck-e-cheeze suit with flesh inside

Man! This was my childhood! I’m 28 now! I believe we were the last generation that actually experienced awesome arcades! It sad that many kids won’t experience what we had as kids!

Its wild to think that place, for 30+ years, was thriving with laughing/screaming kids, animatronics talking and singing with tvs playing songs, arcades blasting sounds with tickets pouring out, tokens clanking together, parents talking about their lives, greasy pizza smelling up the air... Many parties celebrated there, now silent and unfortunately vandalized. Its sad.. thank you for locking the door on the way out and respecting the property. It truly shows that there are still some good people out there.

Jeez, I will never understand why people get pleasure out of destroying abandoned buildings... I mean, what are you going to get out of it?

Imagine someone or the animatronic popping in there..

This closed in june of 2020 and the games signs and other stuff where on actuion thats why most games and signs are gone

I think one of the saddest parts about this is that some of these locations are OLD. Very old, and were converted/renovated and kept growing as things evolved. Most of the animatronics are EXTREMELY old, and a lot of the locations (I would assume) are as well. I’m really sad at the level of disrespect that vandals have for places like this, old places with good memories. Thanks y’all for really appreciating it. I’m happy that you were able to enjoy it and capture as much of it as you could before it was taken down. :)

everybody gangsta 'til Scott Cawthon peeks around the corner with a knife

Chuck E Cheese: shutting down everywhere Dave and Busters: laughing in the corner Edit: wow, I got 399 likes, thank you so much.

There's an abandoned Chuck E. Cheese in Houston, TX that was similar looking to this one and was repurposed into a short-lived mattress store. After the mattress store closed, it was split into a Texas State Optical and dentist office.

Chuck-E-Cheese terrified me as a kid. My brother had a birthday party there with the animatronic band playing, and I ran out crying. So most of my memories are bad. Chucky even scared me.

Chuck E Cheese was the best place to be- so sad to see everything falling apart now. At the very least, it’ll be in our memories

Seeing some of the machines tipped over and broken in there makes me sad. Those could've been easily sold or gave away to people or companies that could refurbish/salvage those.

Also, good on you guys for locking the front door after you left

The way that there are social distancing signs makes it seem like in a thousand years if this place gets found then they're gonna think that the human race got wiped out by a virus around when this place was abandoned, that's the vibe this place gives off

This is the first video I've watched of you guys and y'all are so respectful to the old buildings and treat them with such grace and dignity. I've seen urban explorers who would have broken into that back door just to get a video out of it. y'all are so kind to the building its so calming to watch.

It’s kinda scary when it’s so quiet when you realize there used to be a lot of screaming kids running around the place. But I see why you did this.

This brought a tear to my eye. So many brick and mortar stores are closing due to COVID plus online store competition. Thanks guys for preserving the memory!

I don’t understand why people just can’t leave these places alone

Nice!

FINALLY VIDEO INSIDE AN ABANDONED CHUCKE CHEESE

People who read the FNAF Fazbear's Fright Books: *Oh no* *OH NO*

Everybody gangsta till a yellow bunny appears

Who’s gonna turn this into a haunted fnaf location?

This chucky chease was in my hometown across the way from the toys r us in white settlement! Thank you for making me sad hahaha

It’s sad seeing the location like this 😞

Damn. Some of those games look like they could've been salvaged.

I live right next to this one, I remember while every other Chuck E Cheese changed their signs, mascot designs, and everything,this Chuck E. Cheese stayed the same for at least a year,brings back memories when I was 4

I worked at that CEC. Its gone now, huh Worked in the late 90s during and shortly after high school. White settlement has gone downhill. I share your hope it gets a commercial rebound somehow.

Am surprised I havent seen a comment mentioning Fnaf. Oh wait....

That place is wrecked! My local Chuck E Cheese is still open and vintage!

-Me:huh,this isn't that bad - *the door closes* - *telephone rings* Hello hello? -me:GET ME OUTTA HERE

*holds baby rat in abandoned chuck e cheese while sobbing*

Seems to be quite alot of abandoned buildings in Us.

Damn this is my local Chuck-E-Cheese I didn't know it closed

imagine walking in and hearing music play and robotic arms moving from a back room

Them: *about to enter a abandoned building* Me: let me see if it’s legal Google: *you need to ask permission* Me: well who are they going to ask permission to? The ghost?

its so uncanny knowing that kids were there having a good time and now its just this abandoned eerie place. I could imagine going there as a kid for my brithday or something, im glad you guys went and took a video of this place.

My first birthday i can remember was at this location! I had so my many memories of this location! When I was a little fella we had a lock in at this location we stayed up all night playing games and watching movies on the monitors they had thats 1 of a zillion memories I have of this location!

This Chuck e cheese was located in settlement, Texas. Former Showbiz pizza place. If you guys didn't know. Shout out to you for filming the aftermath. It's destroyed because people break in there. I don't know why. Good job for locking the door. You are amazing Wall-E

Well this was a shock! I loved how they left the costume storage rack on the floor

I’ve never been in a chucky cheese but I appreciate your care and utmost love for the building. Hello from the UK! 🇬🇧

I went to a Chuck E. Cheese for the first time in 10 plus years with my nephew and I hate the new card system I miss old school tokens and tickets and the ticket muncher gave me a rush of nostalgia in this video

Guys, I am literally crying we took the kids here so many times and just before the pandemic took Grandbabies there. This is horrible!!! I live in MW and it was our go too always. Just got word that Ridgemar Mall is almost completely closed. Thank you guys for doing this.

If it’s that bad now, just imagine how it would be in a couple years or so, given that it’s still abandoned...

That's really cool getting to see it kind of behind-the-scenes look in the Chuck-E-Cheese I remember going to one in Columbus Ohio back in the early 80s and I always love going in the king room and listening and watching to the king sing That is a shame where people go in trash stuff like that that's just like I used to love walking around taking pictures of the old Reid Hospital that used to be in Richmond Indiana and that place had such a wonderful history behind it and it was really truly Daniel Reed's Legacy and then kids had to go in there and it was just like a bomb went off because before some rims that look like they just clocked out and went home for the day and paperwork was still in the desk and then two years after that it was like a tornado went through the building and that really is a sad that's what gives Urban explorers a bad reputation

I did competitive programming at Lockheed from 2017-19 when I was in HS and our teams stayed at the Comfort Inn right across the street. Never went in, but from the entrance we were able to look out all the way down the parking lot to see this place open, and with barely any cars there. I remember there was some place called the "Flight Deck" entertainment center right next to the hotel, along with Toys R Us. Six years later, all three of those are closed and have been replaced by much more boring and industrial businesses. It's probably for the best that they're not abandoned anymore, though. It's better than them being vandalized like we see in this video. I have no memories with CEC because my childhood was spent at Gatti's and Incredible Pizza Co, but it is disappointing to see not just how these places look when closed but what the ones that are still open have become - bland and lifeless, and lacking much of what originally made them special because of the constant race to the bottom when it comes to costs. They are pretty much kids' casinos instead of lifestyle spaces and places to compete on actual games. Round1 is the only chain left that I think still captures some of that. It's the only place where I think I could spend 12+ hours straight on $100 in credit.

Whoa that's amazing you guys could say goodbye to it. It makes me wanna go to my childhood Chuck E Cheese that's luckily still open.

Nerd here. So from what I can see most of the vandalism is mostly where the counter was and parts of the kitchen. All the arcade games and anything else in the store was smashed up and destroyed when it closed back in June. The spray paint most likely is from Corp after it closed to "de-brand" items in the restaurant. I've heard stories from other store closings of flooding the kitchen or damaging the property.

surpised the power is turned off that quick, since they just closed couple mouths

Thanks for the video, wallie! Super awesome find and exploration! As a former cec employee in the past, cec has had many financial issues long before this virus. I remember my hours would always get cut while working there, and they have always been finding ways to reorganize the company to make it more profitable. Also, this looks to be like an old showbiz pizza place, with the old rock a fire explosion animatronic band before it was changed to chuck e cheese

You should do Ryan’s in white settlement

I remember being at the place for the first time... good memories and now....23 years old still remember everything...

Had plenty of parties at this location for all my grandkids. It's a shame to see people go in and vandalize a building.

Its soo sad that people have to destroy places

I wonder if the vandals stole most of the arcade games here.

Me: i see a vídeo about an abandoned CEC My brain: *thinks in Willys Wonderland and FNAF

This was my childhood. I had 5 of my birthday parties here. My birthdays tomorrow and it makes me sad that a part of my childhood has gone away.

Wait, That’s The White Settlement Location, Notable For The First Location To Receive A 2-Stage On March 26, 1992; Used To Be A Former Showbiz Pizza Place.

Before it was a Chuck e Cheese-- i believe it was Showbiz pizza...that grey building to the right once held wrestling matches. There also used to be a small movie theater between that chuck e cheese and toys r us..it was demolished years ago.

oh my. This is creepy! It also reminds me of FNAF! LOL

Our Chuckle Cheese in a suburb of Buffalo closed right before Covid because a lot of city people came & started fights & even pulled out knives! Really sad. It’s a nice area 😢

Thank you for being so respectful of these places. I know it can seem tempting to want to take something. Maybe as a souvenir. But these things need to stay where they lie. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, the greatest of sayings for urban exploring.

Bolting the side doors shut, and making sure no one can get in, is useless if the front door is unlocked

White Settlement , TX. The very first two stage location! You saved one of the best to record video of. Thank you!

People ought to be ashamed of themselves. They really should.

I know the world was changing when it's all closing down the Chuck E cheese's and I remember I was a little girl I used to go to showbiz with my parents and I don't know everything closing down my days thanks for sharing this video

Vandals disappoint me, imagine how cool it would be to have an abandoned Chuck E. Cheese's as a hang out spot, no destroying, no making a mess, hell maybe even tidy it up a bit.

Wow Interesting video Wallie!! I never knew it closed due to the pandemic, but I also knew it had bankruptcy. I enjoyed going to Chuck E Cheese when I was a kid. I even remember going to the ticket counter and it counted all of the tickets I received. My favorite arcade game was likely ski ball. The nearest one to Hermitage,PA was Niles, Ohio near the Eastwood Mall near the former Super Kmart.

I was into exploration in my younger days. It always made me sick to see the vandalism that occurs. Especially in historical places like old amusement parks.

That’s so sad :( Chuck E. Cheese is my fav!!

I got the opportunity to walk around a closed chuckle in 2008 . We found in the back three costumes of chuckie from the 2000’s , 1990’s and a random costume . My friend has the 90’s version at home to this day 😂

I never knew there were locations that were as small as this one. I grew up going to the one in burnaby BC and that place is huge. Multiple levels, party rooms all over the place and alot of space and machines. I suppose they just got lucky and found a good spot to open a location. I'm still shocked at how many places I grew up going to have been shut down permanently due to covid

What are the odds that IVE BEEN AT THE EXACT SAME CHUCK E CHEESE it’s sad seeing this place closed

My local one closed down too The last time I was in it was in 2018 for a friend birthday

This hurts me very much thxs for rec this

I lived 20 minutes from that place it's so weird hearing this big named brand going for bankruptcy especially since this one was relatively "new". There's also an abandoned toys R us right across from it.

these are good people we condone this keeping the memory just pics vids and nostalgic memorys

It's about time you go explore an abandoned Chuck E Cheese!

I love the respect you have for the buildings you visit. This is my first video and I’ve subscribed so thank you for respecting any building you go to

That's crazy I live up the street that was my childhood chuckee cheese I went back as an adult it was amazing so sad

I used to go that location all the time. I lived down the street from there for so many years. And to see Fort Worth represented is awesome

I applaud you and Kayla for doing what you do. Sad people want to destroy....keep it sacred in memory. Much love

Hey doesn't Scott Cawthon live in TX, this is where he is going to make the Fnaf pizzeria

this video made me remember the game of Day Shift at Freddy's 3

I had my youth birthday party at Chuck e cheese when I was little

Its been my dream to go to Chuck E' Cheese but im all the way in U.K and it really just hurts seeing my dream like this

I’m from Lawton Oklahoma I’m 45. I loved Chuck e Cheese as a kid. Had a couple of birthdays there growing up in 80’s. Miss the days of animatronics singing Caberet songs. Ours closed around 1986 cause of drug dealing. Then back in around 2012 or 2013 they opened one back up here. Great place for kids.

This Abandoned Chuck E. Cheese reminds me of the Abandoned Toys R us ;-;❤️

I have a lot of memories in there

Good job wallieb26 keep up the content have a Kmartlicious day wallie and Kayla.

I'm in Washington state but I remember my birthday parties at Chuck-E-Cheese many many years ago

Vandals and squatters are why in Texas abandoned businesses are torn down. Since coming back to Texas in September 2021, I have seen four structure demolished due to vandalism
