Plano families may soon have a lot more square footage to wear out their kids. Chuck E. Cheese is planning a significantly larger Adventure World play center in the city, with state filings showing a proposal to convert a mercantile space at 801 W. 15th St. into an 18,000-square-foot indoor playground. The venue would operate as a standalone attraction separate from the company’s existing Plano arcade, with documents outlining a fall construction window and an estimated $850,000 renovation budget.
According to The Dallas Express, a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation details plans for the 18,000-square-foot Adventure World buildout and lists an estimated construction cost of $850,000. The same paperwork, as described in the report, targets a start date of Sept. 7 and a completion date of Dec. 7, based on the state filing review.
What Adventure World Is
Adventure World is Chuck E. Cheese’s standalone, active play concept, pitched primarily for kids ages 3 to 8, with plenty of room for parents to join the chaos if they are so inclined. The company’s announcement for its first site describes a space built around multilevel climbing structures, slides, tunnels, a toddler zone, a dance floor and large video walls. In Arlington, the pilot location charges $19.99 for all-day child admission and includes two free parent entries. Per Chuck E. Cheese, the format is designed to emphasize active play over traditional arcade games.
How The Plano Site Stacks Up
At roughly 18,000 square feet, the planned Plano Adventure World would be considerably larger than the company’s test site in Arlington. That first location was described in company and media materials as about 12,000 square feet when it opened in November 2025, according to a rollout distributed via GlobeNewswire. If the Plano project moves forward as outlined, it would represent an upsized version of the prototype.
Timeline And Permitting
The Dallas Express report notes that the project is still contingent on construction progress and local approvals. In Plano, development reviews, site plans and scheduling are typically posted on the city’s public Development Review List. Those municipal records show how permit checks and site plan milestones are tracked over a project’s life cycle and give residents a window into how proposals are moving through the system. The dates listed in the state filing mark Chuck E. Cheese’s target timeline, while the City of Plano’s development tracking explains how those goals line up with local procedures.
If everything proceeds as planned, the 801 W. 15th St. Adventure World would stand on its own, separate from Chuck E. Cheese’s existing Plano family entertainment center at 1604 Preston Road. Chuck E. Cheese currently operates the Preston Road location and lists its party packages and admission options on the site’s local page.
