Irving, TX (3903 W Airport Fwy)

3903 W Airport Fwy, Store #81 is a Chuck E. Cheese's that opened in 1988 with Chuck E.'s House.

This location is featured in training material, advertisements, and is one of the several test sites for new attractions.

The interior shots for Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000 were also filmed here in 1998, and Closing Time (September 2000) was also filmed there too.

Stages
Their Chuck E.'s House lasted up to early 1994, when it would be replaced for the first finalized 1-Stage. This 1-Stage in particular had special outfits for Jasper and Helen but would be removed before 2006.

As time went on, the show started to show its age, and started to become broken and beyond disrepair. In 2019 the 1-Stage is removed and the animatronics are used for parts and stored at the Arlington, TX store. The Showroom relocated into the skills area and the skills area is moved to where the Showroom originally was. In 2021 they updated their Showroom to include the Video wall and updated dance floor.

In 1991 and 1994, they filmed a collection of training tapes for employees. 1994 is also the year this location remodeled for the first time and received Phase 1 and the 1-Stage show concept. Between 1997 and 2000 they expand the skills area for more games and seating.

In 2004 they receive an early version of the "Cool Chuck" remodel. Shortly after in 2006 they test the "Token Card" and "Chuck E-Tickets" system, an alternative way to play games. This would be the predecessor to the Play-Pass and E-Tickets, that would utilize the same concepts as before.

This location got the prototype Ticket Blaster in 2008, because of its positive reception it was replaced with a finalized version in 2009. Then In 2010, the original street sign is replaced and is bought closer towards to building. Around this time they would also majorly downsize their Skytubes to fit in a smaller area.

In 2015 the location received its third remodel, receiving new art, multicolored walls, and a refurbished exterior. Accompanying this was a short lived area called "Chuck E. Cheese's Spectacular Boardwalk", a small area that had Milk Jug Toss, "Gold Fishin", and "Down The Clown". This would be its shortest lived remodel because in 2019 they would remodel into the new "2.0" design then would finally be featured in advertisements from that point forward.
