Discovery Zone Tokens
Established 1989 · Other · 10 cataloged tokens
Launched in October 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri, Discovery Zone was created as an indoor play-and-entertainment center built around elaborate jungle-gym style mazes, ball pits, roller slides and arcade games for kids. The brand expanded rapidly, going public in 1993 and acquiring rival chains to swell to nearly 300 locations at its peak. However, a combination of over-expansion, mounting debt and shifting entertainment trends led to its first Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996. After a brief restructuring the chain filed again in 1999, sold off many outlets to Chuck E. Cheese, and by the end of 2001 the original brand had essentially vanished from the U.S. family-entertainment-center landscape.
