Chilling at the Rain Forest Cafe bar.
#3
If you’ve never been to The Rain Forest Café, I think it’s definitely worth a visit! The chain restaurant is located in twelve different states and although it’s geared toward kids, I think it’s a fun place to eat no matter what your age. Thus far, I’ve only been to the few locations in New Jersey.
The entire restaurant has a rainforest theme, so whether you’re seated next to the big aquariums in the restaurant or one of the mechanical gorillas, you’re sure to have an interesting meal.
Typically I get the Brave New World pizza, which is barbeque chicken flavored. I remember when I was younger my parents had a surprise party with the family for me there (followed by a trip to Build a Bear with my cousins). Another time, when I was getting too damn old, I invited a group of friends there for my seventeenth birthday too; sometimes it’s a good laugh to still do kid-oriented activities, especially as you get older!
Usually, when friends from other states come to visit, who have never been, this restaurant is one of the ones I’ll take them too and they’ve seemed to enjoy it a lot.
Most of these restaurants have a gift shop and the one near me has a bar located in the gift shop as well. Even so, if you’re looking for a quiet dinner free from kids, you may want to look elsewhere.
Yet if you’ve never been here before, I think it’s worth a try!
So has anyone eaten at The Rainforest Café or does anyone plan on adding this restaurant to their dining out bucket list? Tell me about your experiences!

I want to go to that place it sounds amazing.
I’ll ask Star if she’s been!
Haha, yup it’s a lot of fun :)! And sounds good!
Try their Mai Tai’s. YUM. Of course, I went to the one at Disney in Florida.
Oh that sounds great! I’ll definitely have to try that next time; thank you for the suggestion 🙂
Would this be one located in the Menlo Park mall in Jersey? I live near the mall and always wanted to go in there… The pictures look great! I am in love with those bar stools. I may definitely need to go eat there. It literally is a stones throw away from me.
Love,
Ness
Hi Ness! I’m sorry, I realized I never answered this comment, but that’s so neat you live by there! You should definitely go 🙂
How I wish we had restaraunts like these in Austin! The closest Texas location is in Houston, about 3 or 4 hours away. Closest thing we have to a themed restaruant is Dick’s Last Resort, where the entire waitstaff insults you in front of all the other guests.
Haha it’s so funny you mentioned Dick’s Last Resort because I’ve been telling my friends about it and how I want to go there so badly! The closest one to me would be in Maryland, but none of my friends understand why I would want to go there if they’re that rude to you lol
There’s nothing like some self-deprecating humor once in a while. The food is great, though.
Haha, exactly! I definitely hope to check it out someday
I love this place, I should go this weekend with my man thanks for reminding me!
Haha me too and you’re quite welcome :)!
**I LOVE THAT PLACE….when we visit So. Cal…..we always go to the one by the Onterio Airport in So. Cal…..we even have T-Shirts we wear that I bought the last time we were there! I love the rainforest & animal sounds, it’s dark and cool in there, and the moveable animals….Just a great place for the kids! Good Memories…….Another Great, Fun, is The Midevil Times…..*Catherine*
As BOB HOPE used to say, “Thanks for the Memories”
Haha that’s too funny you even have the shirts! But I agree, it’s a lot of fun 🙂 And yup, I agree; Medieval Times is so much fun!
Love it
Yup, it’s a lot of fun 🙂
I have only been to two of them, but they are lots of fun and a different kind of dining experience!
Yes, I totally agree :)!
I have been to one located in a mall. It is so much fun. I love the fish tank the most.
Yup, I love the fish tanks; it’s so much fun to look at the tropical looking fish :)!
Been to the one in Nashville. Fun, but thankful I don’t have to exterminate bugs that big – especially in a place I’m eating. There are some big roaches in the jungle (excuse me, “rain forest’).
Haha, oh no! I can’t tell if you mean there are real roaches in that one (ewww!) or if you’re talking about the statues! Hopefully you mean the latter, but if not maybe I shouldn’t go to the one in Nashville lol
Hi great blog, and I agree that we don’t have to grow up! I stumbled across the Jungle Tandoor Restaurant in Little India, Singapore. All the staff are dressed in intrepid explorer outfits, and the entire place is a rainforest filled with trees and animals (including a polar bear which was rather odd). Food was authentic Indian and they served strong Kingfisher beer at an unknown alcohol percentage. Despite my slighty foggy vision, I did spot a real furry animal scarper across the floor, causing many staff to chase it out of the tomb door facade of the venue!
Thanks so much 🙂 And haha that sounds awesome! And that’s too funny a real animal came in the restaurant too! Maybe someday I can make it there lol
Love this place. Took my children to the one at Disney World.
Yup, it’s a lot of fun :)! I’ve been to Disney but don’t think I’ve seen the one there, so I’d like to visit it sometime!
I have never been here before and have always heard about it growing up. Seeing your pictures and reading about your experience definitely makes me want to go check it out, even though I’m an adult now! 😀
Haha, yup I’d definitely recommend it :)!
We have one in London, I went there years ago it is a fun place to visit and kids really love it. Nice pictures and nice post.
That’s awesome you went to the one in London! And thanks so much 🙂
I ❤ bigtime Rainforest Cafe! Especially for the sale's rack 🙂
Haha, yes it’s the best :)!
Definitely adding it on now! You have such great posts and ideas. Will see if they have any places in New York. OH WAIT, memory jolt – they have a location in Atlantic City that I’ve stopped by, but never eaten at. I guess now I have a reason to swing by AC again.
Aww, thank you Max :)! And haha, yup I was actually just in AC and we passed by it a couple times, but the one there’s good too! There’s also one that might be closer in Edison, New Jersey.
I love your photos. Looks like a lot of fun! Lisa 😉
Aw thank you Lisa :)!
I remember going here when I was a little girl but, those days are now behind me.
Haha yup, it’s definitely more kid-oriented! 🙂
My family and I have always been to the restaurant when we have been to America (we are in the UK) and we always seem to find one somewhere! I remember the first time we went, we were all going to try a Volcano but thankfully the waiter suggested that we just get one to share. He was most definitely right!! The best dessert I have ever had 😀
Haha, that’s funny! But yes, the volcanos are huge, but so good; I love anything chocolate, but those are amazing 🙂
Thank you so much for following my blog!!
You’re quite welcome 🙂 Excited to read more!
Been there once at the mall of America!!! Loved it! It been a while though. I so want to go back!!!
Ahh I’ve always wanted to go to the Mall of America :)!!
I went when I was about 10. So…..it’s been ages! I really want to take the kiddos!
Haha, yeah it’s definitely a great place for kids :)!
Oh cool :)!
And, they’re in Canada here too! Ours is one of our favorites to visit. Used to go there alot (when married) Kids and tourists love this place! I now will have to look for photos lol !
Oh that’s awesome they have them in Canada too :)! But haha yes, try and find the photos!
I love Rainforest Cafe! I’m in NJ. I go to the one in Menlo Park Mall – always a great time! (I’m actually using a photo of me with one of the monkeys for my business newsletter next month to show that at my business “we don’t monkey around”!)
Haha, that’s hilarious! But I love that one too; it’s so much fun 🙂
