My wife and I went to the falls and ate at both Rainforest cafes on the American side and Canadian side and the Canadian side definitely was much better and you still could buy the drink glasses with the cities name on it which my wife collects. This one you couldn't buy the glasses and the Table was sticky but the food was ok and service was good. Just if you want to do the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls do the Canadian side.

Love rainforest. It's a bit pricey but they have really good strawberry lemonade and the best chicken tenders. The animal show and shop is also fun. Theme restaurants are the best. HAPPY FORESTING!

I wish I had gone to the restroom first and I would have opted out of this experience all together. It was gross! Our server was pretty good and the food was okay (typical heat and eat type food at tourist trap prices). The menu was very limited (and filthy). But what really took it down was when we paid. We had a couple hundred dollar gift card we wanted to use (hence why we chose this restaurant) and when we tried to use it, a manager came over and said we couldn't because they are privately owned. She offered a 10% discount. What does a discount do when we can't use the payment method we planned to use. If we had seen this posted we wouldn't have even gone. And while she's telling us this, we are pointing at the kids menu that LITERALLY SAYS OWNED BY LANDRY'S. This whole area is really run down and not worth the money they are charging. Skip this location and try it in a different one.

We stopped into the Rainforest Cafe to feed our nostalgia alongside ourselves and to introduce the kid to the experience. The restaurant is filled with on point decor, animatronic animals that periodically make noises and motions, and a thunder/lightning storm that rolls through about every 30 minutes. There is also an aquarium full of live fish. The tables are all on theme, with wild animal designs, and there's a small gift shop that you enter/exit through full of animal-themed goodies. We went with a Jurassic nuggets kids plate with fruit (it was apple slices) and milk - the kids meals come out on cute themed plates too - plus Beyond burgers (comes with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, boom boom sauce) with fries and pickle spears, and we decided to go all in with a sparkling volcano dessert. The dessert is absolutely massive, as we were warned by the server, but it is a super fun presentation with a real sparkler coming out of a towering chocolate cake/brownie construction surrounded by rock candies, scoops of whipped topping, and scoops of vanilla ice cream. The food is good, with good-sized portions - or massive in the case of the volcano - but the experience is the real draw here. Service was friendly too.

Food: Huge portions and overall pretty good! A bit on the pricey side, but definitely filling and satisfying. Service: Service was decent, nothing over the top, but everyone was polite and things came out in a reasonable time. Ambiance: Loved the vibe here! It's the perfect family setting and super photo-worthy. This was my first stop in Canada coming from New York, and it made a great first impression.

Overstimulating environment and mediocre food, but small children love it! Most of the times I've been to a rainforest cafe were as an adult, but usually it was while I was being a happy little tourist. Being there with little kids was definitely a new perspective because the animals moving all around and periodic special movements (thunder, dark, brief animatronics show) was magic to the little. Also, I was glad they could honor our reservation in spite of being packed. A reservation for a large group is a must! Sevice was great, especially given that we were a large and chaotic group. We were sat right by the elephants, which was a great spot for the kids. The prices are high and the food is so-so, but this is more an experience place. I got the fish and chips. They were generous with the fries, which were plain and a little underdone. The fried fish was ok- but it wasn't as crispy as I expect fish to be. Also, they really oversold the coleslaw on the menu. However, the food was alright and no one I was with disliked their meal. The arcade is chaos. I'll never set foot in there again. Others might like it though! It's just overrun with small and poorly supervised kids. Also, there's only one prize machine and the line for it was super long. Overall, I'd recommend coming here if you have kids five or under. If not, it might not be a strong choice.

To continue my tourist eats I decided to get lunch here after my early morning of seeing the sights. I got back to my hotel and changed and fortunately for me Rainforest Cafe was part of this complex. I ventured through the halls off the lobby and found my way to the entrance of the restaurant. You can also enter from the outside if you are not staying on premise. Waited at the counter as the hostess was on the phone until I could get a seat. I checked out the small store of items for sale and finally was greeted. I was led to a table which sat me right next to the tiger display. I was able to see the elephant display behind me too. I started going over the menu and after a bit I had my selections picked out. Then I just sat there, for quite a minute. That is until the manager came by and saw me sitting there. She asked me whether anyone had been by to see me, not a single soul. She apologized, took my drink order, and my order for the food since I already had that picked out and went on her way. It appears that the hostess that was busy on the phone forgot to tell the server I was sat in her section. Not surprised in the least. I started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip. That showed up and I picked over it for about ten minutes until my main course came out. I had gone with the Beastly Burger. The description does not do this any favors, it is just bland and not descript in the least. All it says is two patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle spear. When I saw two patties, in my mind and experience they come out much like smash patties. Especially when the description does not tell you the size of the patties. When the burger finally came out it was enormous. I knew I was in for it when it came out and I saw the mountain of the burger. I first took down the pickle spear because I did not want to leave that on the plate, and I enjoy pickles. I cut the burger in half in hopes that it would be easier to manage. But because these looked like either quarter pound or half pound patties, it was not easier. I almost had to unhinge my jaw to take a bit out of it. To say it was messy would be an understatement. The addition of lettuce, tomato, and onion didn't do anything for this as they just slide off and bun was basically nonexistent. I tried my best but could not. I ended up picking at it with my fork because I was tired of my hands being covered in grease, cheese, and sauce. This monster definitely did defeat me. Service throughout picked up a bit. My server, after being made aware of my presence was very attentive. Brining me refills and extra drinks and making sure I was all set. The food runners were really good at there jobs, knowing where every table is and basically memorizing the whole menu. As for the tourist trap portion of this place. If you are close enough, and old enough, you can see that the animatronics need some work. Unluck other locations, the mystique of this place is spoiled by the plentiful windows that line the front of the space. Every time the rainstorm ran through the floor you couldn't tell since the sunlight makes it a bit too bright inside to take in the rainforest portion of this restaurant.

Love this place! Really fun atmosphere especially if you're with kids as there's animal animatronics and "thunderstorms" (lighting change and thunder/rain sounds) every half hour or so as well as an aquarium and gift shop. The service was great! Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and the food and drinks came out pretty quickly. The drinks we ordered came with glasses you can keep which is fun! We got the Lava Nachos which came with a big boat of salsa in the middle. Wasn't anything super unique or special but yummy nachos nonetheless! The Carribean Coconut Shrimp were pretty freakin' delicious and I really loved the sweet curry dipping sauce it came with. The slaw and veggies weren't really seasoned which left something to be desired. However, the Creole Mac N Cheese was VERY flavorful, good amount of spice and sauce. It seems the pasta options are all pretty similar.

heaven on earth is right across the border in niagara falls. what a joyous time we had. the thunderstorms. cha cha. the slightly broken animatronics. it all was such an experience. slightly expensive for burgers but it's okay. very enjoyable. server was a lovely lady. did find a hair in my food but they handled it very kindly. ambiance is to die for

After reading some of the previous reviews, I really didn't have high hopes for our visit here. Yes, the restaurant is geared toward children with all the animals and large arcade.. But I was pleasantly surprised with the food and service. I ordered the pastalaya. It was a pasta version of jambalaya. It was full of flavor with a nice kick of heat. The restaurant was connected to our hotel, the Sheraton Niagara Falls. Perfect, considering it was a rainy day. 2024-33

Come for the vibes, not really the food. I came here with my family for a weekday lunch and we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant . We were seated in the "Elephant room" and the animatronic elephants were really cool and the kids loved it. The decor in general is really well done and there's quite a bit to look at. This is what we hoped for from the Rainforest Cafe and they delivered! Unfortunately, lunch was pretty lackluster. It took about 25 min to get our food and while the staff encourages you to walk around and enjoy the sights, this is still a pretty long wait. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and while I was impressed with the size of it, it was really, really bland. I added some salt, which helped, but I was pretty disappointed with how little seasoning was on it and somehow the beef didn't even taste much like beef. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, which was great! She checked up on us regularly during our long wait. Overall, I was happy we stopped by. It was a fun experience even though the food was disappointing.
