Guests are invited to celebrate and enjoy new menu items, throwback favorites, and incredible promotions as they embark on a rainforest adventure.

Nostalgia is in the air and, beginning April 2, Rainforest Cafe will bring back original menu items to all locations.

This year, Rainforest Cafe also introduces a new, limited-time-only Tsunami Cake. This delicious treat packs four layers of red velvet and chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. To add extra flavor, the cake incorporates cascading white and dark chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate candies.
Guests can join the celebration online by sharing their experience on social media tagging @rainforest_cafe on Instagram and using the hashtag #RFCTURNS30 for a chance to be featured on the Rainforest Cafe website. Diners are also encouraged to join the e-club for information on upcoming 30th anniversary promotions, events, merchandise, and contests.
A meal at Rainforest Cafe is a feast for the senses, where the sights, sounds, and aromas of a tropical rainforest are recreated through innovative and detailed uses of décor, animatronics, and special effects. Lush vegetation, larger-than-life Banyan trees, cascading waterfalls, tropical music, majestic rock formations, changing constellations, and simulated rainstorms, complete with thunder and lightning, contribute to the overall ambience of the restaurant. During these simulated rainstorms, whimsical butterflies, trumpeting elephants, playful primates, and other indigenous wildlife inhabit this authentic rainforest environment and make for a fun, unique dining experience.
The first Rainforest Cafe location opened in 1994 at Mall of the America in Minnesota. Today, the popular family restaurant continues to be a fan favorite and will celebrate three decades of adventure, conservation, and culinary delights nationwide and around the world with our iconic Disney locations in Florida as well as Disneyland Paris and Tokyo. Each moment invites you to share in a story waiting to be told.
