IRVING, Texas, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chuck E. Cheese, the world’s leading family entertainment center, is bringing learning to life with Chuck E.’s STEAM-tastic Adventure — a new hands-on field trip program designed for kindergarten through fifth grade students. Developed in partnership with STEM.org Educational Research™ and aligned to NGSS, ISTE, and CASEL standards, the program transforms a day at Chuck E. Cheese into a truly educational—and wildly fun—learning experience.

Designed to support real classroom learning goals in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM), the Chuck E.’s STEAM-tastic Adventure offers grade-specific, curriculum-aligned content that helps students build critical thinking and problem-solving skills through interactive lessons and games. The program includes pre-visit study guides, in-center lessons, student worksheets, and take-home activities—all designed to make it easy for teachers to deliver a high-quality educational experience.

And because the family entertainment center brand knows that fun is part of the learning journey, students will join Chuck E. Cheese and his zany science-loving sidekick, Professor Ponder, for a laugh-out-loud, high-energy STEAM adventure. Together, they help bring key concepts to life with playful explanations, unexpected twists, and a few silly surprises—making STEAM learning not just engaging, but truly unforgettable.

Educators have voiced what matters most: fun learning, budget-friendly pricing, and a safe, secure environment. This program delivers on all three—making Chuck E.’s STEAM-tastic Adventure one of the most affordable accredited STEAM field trip options available anywhere. Every visit includes a kid-approved lunch, All You Can Play game time, and a secure experience backed by our trusted Kid Check^® system.
