Based on food and drink alone, this place is definitely not worth the price tag or the crowd. But, look around you. Where else can you see an elephant coming out of the wall or hear a thunderstorm every 18-20* minutes? Nowhere, that’s where. The atmosphere of the Rainforest Café more than makes up for the ridiculous price-for-quality. Pro tip: while there is always a wait to get a table here (god damn kids) the bar is almost always open, so just walk past the lady at the elephant hostess stand and start getting jungle drunk. P.S. if you want to save money, make sure you aren’t being charged for the souvenir glasses…they will do it unless you put up a fuss.
*According to a bartender, they also have a secret button that can make it happen at any time, so see what you can do with that information.
