There are not many outstanding themed restaurants left, and Rainforest Cafe is one of them. Galveston, Texas, is the only location in the chain that offers an exclusive water ride.

In the Rainforest River Adventure Ride, which costs $9.99 per person, you will be taken on an eight-minute voyage through a lush, animatronic jungle. You will encounter luminous sculptures, intriguing ruins, and unexpected fireworks along the way.

Many people believe the trip is well worth it, whether because of the quirky environment or the novelty of a water ride at the Rainforest Cafe.
