Chuck’s Arcade Lands at Tyrone Square Mall in St. Pete!

Something new just dropped at Tyrone Square Mall, and it's about to level up your weekend plans. Chuck’s Arcade—an all-new concept from Chuck E. Cheese—has officially opened its doors, and St. Pete is one of the first cities in the country to experience it. This isn’t your childhood pizza joint—it’s a sleek, modern arcade experience built for gamers of all ages.

A Fresh Take on Family Fun

Chuck’s Arcade is a major shift from the traditional Chuck E. Cheese setup. Instead of animatronic shows and prize counters, the focus here is wall-to-wall games. From classic arcade cabinets and racing simulators to skee-ball and multiplayer challenges, the space is designed to keep both kids and nostalgic adults entertained for hours. The vibe is brighter, bolder, and far more arcade-focused—perfect for quick outings, birthday parties, or spontaneous fun.

What makes this launch even more exciting? St. Pete is one of the very first cities chosen to debut this next-gen concept. It’s a small but meaningful sign that our city continues to be seen as a hub for fresh ideas and family-friendly development.

Why St. Pete’s Arcade Scene Just Got Better

Tyrone Square Mall has been quietly building up its reputation as more than just a shopping destination, and the arrival of Chuck’s Arcade only reinforces that momentum. For local families, this new addition fills a much-needed gap in indoor entertainment. While we’ve got our share of bowling alleys, trampoline parks, and escape rooms, there hasn’t been a true arcade in the mix—until now.

It also gives parents another reliable option for weekend plans. Rainy day? Too hot outside? Chuck’s Arcade offers an easy answer: air conditioning, ample games, and no admission fee to enter. Just show up, load your card, and get to playing.

What to Expect When You Visit

Expect a space that feels both familiar and new. The Chuck E. Cheese brand is still present, but this location has trimmed down the distractions and leaned into the gaming. There’s no overwhelming noise from animatronics or crowded dining zones—just a wide-open play area with a strong lineup of games. It's built to be welcoming for group hangouts, solo players, and birthday parties alike.

You’ll likely find a mix of families, teens, and even adults reliving their favorite arcade games from the '90s and early 2000s. It’s a throwback and a modern reboot all at once.
