Is Chuck E. Cheese or GattiTown more appropriate/fun for a 2 1/2 year old? Never been to either one.

definately Chuck E Cheese. Gattitown is dark and is more video game oriented. Chuck E Cheese has a great play area that your little one will love.

Ditto.

Chuck E Cheese for a toddler - hands down.

My son loves ChuckeCheese. You don't have to pay to go in. You have to buy the buffet for Gattitown.

Chuck E. Cheese

CEC for the pre-school and toddler set

I think Chuck E Cheese is the lesser of the evils. My four year old loves it. Can't say the same for the other place - it's waaaayyy nasty and we won't go there anymore.

Chuck E. Cheese -- they have more games that are physically smaller for the littler/younger kids. Plus, I like the fact that the kiddos get their hands stamped with their parents, with a number, they come in with. The stamps are checked when you are leaving to make sure the numbers matched. So basically, no one can leave with your child except you.

Other than that -- Gattitown is a buffet and Chuck E. Cheese is not. You order your pizza and they bring it to you when it is ready.

Not even a question: Chuck E Cheese by a mile.

CEC has games for smaller children (all games are only 25 cents) plus a playset with slide for them to climb. Add to that that you don't have to pay to get in, just if you want to eat. And with two kids, I've eaten there enough to know that their pizza actually is pretty good. Keep an eye out every Sunday for coupons.

gattitown has really gone downhill.

Take the kids to Chuck-E and let them play games, maybe buy a drink. Then go to Gattitown to eat, because Chuck-E's food is gross and grossly overpriced.

Seriously? Gattitown is literally one of the grosses places to eat on the planet. C'mon...

Seriously, I have NEVER gone to Gattitown because of the food. The food there is crap. The only thing worthwhile there is their salad bar and let's face it: we're talking about lettuce and pre-made toppings. Anything they have to actually MAKE is mediocre at best.

I like Chuckie Cheese because of the kid check. Makes me feel better that only I can take my kid out the door.

It's a shame gattitown sucks so bad, but it kinda does. It has so much potential in that location and I don't think their food is terrible. Even when I went there as college student, half the video games were broken or 5 years old. Only thing worth playing was air hockey.

chuck e. cheese has a bar right next to it..

only in texas...
