If you’ve never been to the Rainforest Cafe restaurant in Galveston, Texas, you’re missing out on something truly epic: the Rainforest River Adventure Ride. This location of the national chain is the only one with this unique perk, and it’s an experience the whole family is sure to enjoy. On board a floating riverboat, you’ll ride past animatronic jungle creatures as the dramatic sights and sounds of the rainforest captivate your senses.

While there are dozens of Rainforest Cafe restaurants across the country, the Galveston, Texas location stands out among them all. Why, you might ask?

Google Reviews Rainforest River Adventure Ride
You'll float past animatronic rainforest animals such as elephants, giraffes, and alligators, plus an abundance of lush greenery and tropical flowers.
Just like the restaurant itself, the ride captures all of your senses with animal sounds, booming thunder, and other noises you'd expect to hear in the middle of the jungle.
