    This was amazing. Dandy Bear really was a Miami staple. I remember when I first moved down here the commercials would run on PBS all day long. Truthfully Dandy Bear was more popular than Chucc E. Cheese in Miami.

      As a kid from/ who grew up in Miami you are absolutely correct….& I love me some Chuck E Cheese but Dandy was different plus it had more to offer

      I feel like Chuck E Cheese was always more popular than DB in Miami, sadly.

    I visited Dandy Bear two days before it’s closure, and I felt the nostalgia immediately rush back when I walked through those doors. It was probably 20 years since I was last there celebrating my cousin and I’s birthday in one of the party rooms. I was always fond of those animatronics and the tunnel was so much fun! I was that kid who would break the rules by jumping on the show stage, ahah!
    Today I went back after hearing that the location reopened as an Off the Wall arcade. So far, they’re still working on the place despite being open. I saw the owner and a couple of the staff moving around arcade cabinets. But most of the games that were there from Dandy Bear remain operational, along with several brand new games, including a Rabbids VR cabinet that has HTC Vive headsets on it! But it wasn’t working yet.
    A lot of the Dandy Bear murals and signage have been taken down, of course. But some remnants still remain. There was still a mural of the lion character up on the back wall behind the kitchen. The napkin holders inside the main stage room still has Dandy’s logo on it.
    Surely that’s all gonna go away as the owner continues to remodel the place. One of the party rooms has been painted with a blue and green color scheme to match OTW’s branding. And the rest of the interior will follow, at least according to the owner. The place is scheduled to close down temporarily in the Fall as they begin a more thorough remodeling project to include axe-throwing, trampolines and a full bar.
    So if you still wanna soak in that leftover Dandy Bear aesthetic, it’s best to go now while it’s still up! (And there’s a pop-up shop near the location)

    The good this about this is that the Dandy Bear animatronics are still performing to this day! Search up "Mech-a-dice" on TH-cam, he bought some of the bots and got em working, now they play songs from Chuck E. Cheese show tapes. The arcade and all that may be gone, but the characters aren't really gone forever!

    You know, there are all of these places similar to Chuck E. Cheese having not had aged well. Leading me to believe that Chuck E. Cheese is the chain similar to this place with the most locations and has the longest run. Basically no similar place to Chuck E. Cheese have as many locations as Chuck E. Cheese and didn’t have as much success as CEC either.
