🎮 Chuck's Arcade: Where Retro Vibes Meet Future Fun in St. Pete
From Fun Spot to Full-On Awesome
Earlier this year, it was Fun Spot Arcade. Cute. Simple. But then came the glow-up. In June, Chuck E. Cheese waved its magic joystick and rebranded the space into Chuck’s Arcade, a sleek, retro-futuristic gaming lounge that feels like the lovechild of your childhood birthday parties and your favorite sci-fi movie. Think neon, nostalgia, and next-level fun, all in one colorful St. Pete spot.
Right in the Heart of Tyrone Square Mall
Tucked in perfectly at 6901 22nd Avenue North, right next to Old Navy and close to the food court (because arcade-ing makes you hungry), Chuck’s Arcade is a visual delight. We're talking cosmic wallpaper, pixelated icons, and a splash of vintage arcade magic. It feels like stepping into a spaceship from the '80s, with Wi-Fi.
As soon as you walk in, it feels like you’ve entered another dimension where it’s perfectly acceptable for adults to freak out over Luigi’s Mansion.
Game On! (And On... and On...)
Chuck’s Arcade isn’t just vibing on design, it delivers where it counts: the games.
Over 40 titles are ready to go. Top hits include:
Halo: Fireteam Raven (perfect for some co-op chaos)
NBA Superstars Slam Dunk
Luigi’s Mansion (yes, there's a vacuum involved)
Minecraft Dungeons
Super Bikes 3
Connect 4 Hoops
Win Big. Like, Really Big.
Forget the tiny keychains of arcades past. Chuck’s Arcade has an impressive redemption counter packed with:
Chuck E. Cheese–themed plushies
Graphic tees
Hats
Souvenir cups
Jackets that bring serious throwback energy
A Mama’s Take on Gaming Glory
Okay, real talk. I’ve got two kids who are completely obsessed with video games. They eat, sleep, and breathe Minecraft. But honestly, what kid isn’t hooked these days? So Chuck’s Arcade is now on our summer rotation. It hits that perfect sweet spot. I get to relive my old-school arcade dreams, and they get to beat me at Connect 4 Hoops. We’ve even walked out in matching t-shirts, which they somehow made look cool.
Then and Now: Chuck’s Legacy in St. Pete
The original Chuck E. Cheese location is still holding it down at 1028 58th Street North, doing what it’s done since 1983. That’s where you’ll find the full-on family party experience. But Chuck’s Arcade? That’s where the nostalgia meets neon, and it totally works.
As CEO David McKillips said, Chuck’s Arcade is a chance to expand their arcade legacy in a fresh way that keeps both old fans and new players coming back.
Final Score?
Chuck’s Arcade blends everything you loved about the past with the excitement of modern gaming. Whether you're there for the pixel vibes, the high-tech games, or just to keep up with your kids, it’s a win all around.
🎮 See you there. I’ll be the mom trying not to get beat at Super Bikes 3. Again.
