For many, Rainforest Cafe is more than just a restaurant—it’s a nostalgic escape into childhood memories of simulated thunderstorms, animatronic animals, and towering desert volcanos.
There are not many outstanding themed restaurants left, and Rainforest Cafe is one of them. Galveston, Texas, is the only location in the chain that offers an exclusive water ride. However, the chain still has 23 locations worldwide. Because of this, it is an absolute must for die-hard fans and nostalgic millennials to watch it.
