Rainforest Cafe restaurant is designed to depict some features of a tropical rainforest, including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, and figures of rainforest animals, including elephants, gorillas, jaguars, snakes, frogs, iguanas, butterflies, and tropical birds. It also includes fish tanks. The fun part , is that every 45 minutes or so, a jungle thunderstorm
rolls through the establishment, complete with lightning and thunder.
Most of their locations also have themed exteriors as well as interiors. So far we've been to two of their locations: The Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls, New York - Canada border they have the appearance of ancient jungle ruins. While mall locations like the one in Nashville, Tennessee have waterfalls and simulated plant growth outside of them, visible to those who pass in the mall. There are also a few reef fish tanks in each restaurant. Most locations have two tanks connected over the throughway from the gift shop to the restaurant.

| The entrance is very pretty hard to resist not to get in. Snakes are
mostly positioned at the entrance of the retail village, wrapped around a
branch and greeting guests from above. |
 |
| Waterfalls at the entrance area. |
 |
| Huge fish tank almost every corner of the restaurant. |
 |
| One of the tasty grilled chicken salad I've ever had. |
Parents and kids can be just as happy eating here, with a varied regular menu. You can start out your meal with an appetizer, soup or salad. For an entrée, you can choose from seafood, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, beef, pork and chicken dishes.

| Some of the animals are animatronic just like this young elephants on the other side was the adult one. |
What location of Rainforest Cafe have you been? How do you like the forest theme like and their food?
I have been to many different Rainforest Cafes over the years and love them all. It's definitely a fun dining experience.
ReplyDeleteBeen to rainforest cafes in other places. Not where your located. Kids always love going back
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun restaurant. I've been to several of them. I always get that giant chocolate cake for dessert. My daughter likes all the animal noises.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great place for families! I think it's hard not to have a great time dining here. There's also so much to see!
ReplyDeleteI've only been to a Rainforest Cafe restaurant once, it was a good number of years ago down in Orlando. It was a fun place with yummy food.
ReplyDeleteThese restaurants are so fun! We went to a similar one with my son in Orlando called T-Rex. It's set up the same with all sorts of dinosaurs and fun light and sound displays every 15 minutes or so. Both are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThese restaurants have so much to look at. It is almost like an artwork itself in if there was no restaurant in there I still think people would come and look at everything. They did a very good job decorating this place.
ReplyDeleteI've only been to the Rainforest Cafe a handful of times. Each one was amazing and so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a Rainforest Cafe in Opry Land! I love the one at Disney.
ReplyDeleteNow that is an awesome cafe! I love the chicken salad you got.
ReplyDeleteI would love a lunch at this place. I love the rain forest theme.
ReplyDeleteComplete entertainment especially for the kids while dining in the Rainforest Cafe. I think their eyes won't get tired of looking around!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up there was a Rainforest Cafe nearby. We loved to go there for dinner. The food was good and the fishes were entertaining!
ReplyDeleteWe have two nearby Rainforest Cafes but must admit that they have gone downhill in recent years. The tanks are empty and the food hasn't been so great. Hopefully they get improved soon!
ReplyDeleteThere's never a boring dining experience at one of these cafes! I think it's awesome to take the kids here. They're definitely going to have a blast!
ReplyDeleteWHat a unique and fun place to dine. Those dishes look so fresh! I have not been to one of these restaurants yet but the next time I am back in the US will check it out!
ReplyDeleteI would love a lunch at this place or one of its locations. I love the rain forest theme.
ReplyDeleteNow that is an awesome cafe! I've never been. I love the chicken salad you got.
ReplyDeleteI totally like the ambiance of that Rainforest Cafe at Opry Mills. The food looks so appetizing and delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I haven't been to a Rainforest Cafe since I was in my teens (about 20 years ago!) and we went to the one inside of Disneyland! I remember loving the atmosphere and the food!
ReplyDeleteI have been to about 7 or 8 Rainforest cafe's and they have all been wonderful. The food is consistently great and the service excellent.
