Getting ready forSensory Sunday at Chuck E. Cheese.
Once a month, the Lone Tree and Superior stores open two hours early with the lights down, the amplifiers off and no flashing. Characters are optional and the team gives a heads-up before the noise comes back. The rest is pizza.
Chuck E. Cheese Sensory Sensitive Sundays (Lone Tree and Superior)
7510 Pkwy. Dr., Lone Tree 80124 and 305 Marshall Rd., Superior 80027 · Lone Tree: Sunday 11 am to 9 pm, (303) 706-1155. Superior: Sunday 11 am to 8 pm, (720) 304-8814. Sensory Sensitive Sundays open two hours before normal hours on the first Sunday of each month.
“Sensory Sensitive Sundays is a monthly program at Chuck E. Cheese that opens two hours before normal operating hours on the first Sunday of each month.” “No reservation required. Siblings, parents, caregivers, and friends are all welcome.”
“Game room and dining area lighting is dimmed to a comfortable level. Safety-critical lights remain fully on. No strobing or flashing effects during the event.” “Background music is reduced. Amplifiers are off. The show plays visually with sound turned down.”
“When the two-hour window ends, our team gives families advance notice before returning to normal lighting and sound levels.”
Our note Chuck E. Cheese lists Oct 25, Nov 1 and Dec 6. Oct 25 is a special Halloween edition, not a first Sunday, and January isn't posted yet. The chain says participation can vary by store, but both Lone Tree and Superior are on the list, and the Lone Tree page says the program is offered there.
Our note Chuck E. Cheese doesn't give a start time, only that it opens two hours early. Both stores open at 11 on Sundays, so plan on about 9 to 11 am, and call the store the week before to be sure.
Lights are dimmed, amplifiers are off, and there is no strobing or flashing. Game sound effects may still play at each machine.
Characters are “available ... but fully optional”; tell the team if your kid wants to skip them.
The team gives families advance notice before the lights and sound go back to normal.

Kid Check matches hand stamps on children and the adults they came with before anyone can leave. “Parents and caregivers are required to remain with their child the entire time.”
Staff “use clear, simple language; give space during difficult moments; avoid drawing attention to meltdowns; and never touch a child without safety cause.”
The event opens before normal hours, “creating a smaller, calmer crowd.”
Sensory Sensitive Birthdays run during the same hours, with singing, characters and other parts optional. Minimum 10 children at booking.
The dining area gets “a quieter atmosphere and softer lighting.”
What Chuck E. Cheese doesn't say
not stated the exact opening time at each store on sensory Sundays
No reservation needed. Everyone gets a hand stamp at the door, and a grown-up stays with the child the whole time. The lights are dimmed, the music is lower, the amplifiers are off, and nothing flashes. The games still beep a little. Characters are optional. Before the two hours end, the team tells families that the lights and sound are about to go back to normal. Change anything.
One tip before you go
Call the store the week before to confirm the start time, since the chain gives a rule rather than a clock time. Tell your kid ahead that the games still make small sounds, and that the team will warn everyone before the normal noise comes back. Even just getting there counts.
Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
