The Rain Forest Cafe has lots to offer Kids (and parents who are kids at heart) to keep them from getting restless and from using their technology toys.

The interior decor gives off the ambiance of eating in a rainforest complete with a jungle-like setting of waterfalls, tropical vegetation, and indigenous creatures.

They are known for their loveable gang of animal characters (jungle friends ) who roam the restaurant entertaining the kids while exploring the rainforest.

Don't come here for a quiet dinner setting as it can get very noisy when the animals are active especially when the thunderstorms arrive and the chimps start screaming.

While the food is typical mid-level franchise quality with a menu of sandwiches, salads, pasta, pizza, burgers, steaks, fries, and seafood --- the reason to come here is for an outstanding kids' adventure.

Be prepared for slow service, especially during the busy weekend and summer season.
