Major US pizza chain Chuck E. Cheese is finally opening in Australia – but you'll never guess where
Forget Vegas – Australia's about to score its very own 'casino for kids', complete with flashing lights, arcade games and plenty of cheesy pizza on the side. In January 2024, mega American franchise Chuck E. Cheese announced it was heading Down Under – and it's finally revealed where and when! Chuck E. Cheese is just one of a growing number of American fast food giants popping up in Australia, with Wendy's, Wingstop and Auntie Anne's all having opened here in the past 12 months. With almost 600 locations in 18 countries worldwide, this will mark the franchise's first Aussie outpost, with its flagship set to open in Joondalup, Perth, on September 6. Founded in 1977 in California, the family entertainment chain has become a global sensation thanks to its winning combo of cheesy pizza combined with impressive arcades and next-level kids' parties. And its Western Australia venue will be no different. Located 25 minutes north of Perth's CBD, the 1,622-square-metre Joondalup store will be centred around the Adventure Zone – a huge multi-storey indoor playground featuring a six-metre interactive rock climbing wall, ball pit with inflatable boats, spider climb, giant spiral slide and Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course. Australia's first Chuck E. Cheese will also feature a Game Zone, boasting more than 100 arcade games, a light-up dance floor to bust a move and VIP party rooms where kids can score all-you-can-play access – plus surprise appearances from Chuck E. himself. And don't worry, parents – there are dedicated recharge zones just for you. After burning off all that energy, your little ones are bound to work up an appetite. Luckily, there's a full-service restaurant dishing up crispy wings, fresh salads, fruit and veggie platters – and of course, Chuck E. Cheese's signature cheesy pizzas. Really want to raise their sugar levels? Treat them to warm giant cookies, unicorn churros, Dippin' Dots and fully loaded milkshakes, too. Chuck E. Cheese's Australian debut is being brought to us by Royale Hospitality Group, which also franchises burger joint Milky Lane and steakhouse Outback Jacks. The Perth store will open on September 6 at Unit 3/7 Winton Rd, Joondalup. Doors will open daily from 9am, with closing times of 9pm from Sunday to Thursday and 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
