The Rainforest Cafe is a chain restaurant you can find in several cities. There are two at Disney World. One is in the Animal Kingdom and one is at Downtown Disney. This restaurant is known for it's thunderstorms. Yep, you dine in a rainforest and every 30 minutes or so there is a downpour. (Food gets a little soggy at times but it's fun to watch. Not really, it only rains along the walls.)
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It does have an entrance both inside and outside Animal Kingdom.
