Chuck E. Cheese Charleston

I took my 8 and 11 years old kids here on a Wednesday. It's a 2 hour hike for us, but we were already in the area. We arrived before the 11am opening and found they were already open. We each ordered the all you can eat buffet which was well stocked the whole time we were there. On Wednesdays, the unlimited play for an hour is on sale for $14.99, a great deal! I like the new card system because you can pause the play time to go eat or to take a break. It also makes it so both kids finish at the same time. I also like the fact that the machines still give out tickets whereas other arcades keep the ticket balance on the card. Our overall visit was great, however this location is severely understaffed. There were only 3 people, a manager who is fantastic, an employee who was nice but lacked energy, and a new hire who seemed to shy to do much. There was a huge puddle of water by the soda machine that went undressed and was a hazard. Chuck E. only came out once because the staff was too busy and there was no one to man the cotton candy machine. Also, several machines stopped working while we were there and the maintenance man was too busy to fix them. I do suggest going as soon as they open, as there staff gets overwhelmed the busier it gets. I would visit this location again.

It was awesome because we practically had it to ourselves. The associates were spread pretty thin, so the wait time for assistance was longer than usual. However, everyone was very kind. It was a great daddy-daughter day!
