Has anyone been to that dinosaur thmed restaurant in Downtown Disney? Not sure what its called. Is it scary for little ones? Is it dark? Are the dinosaurs animatronic?

I've been. It's about as dark as Rainforest Cafe. The dinos are animatronic and come to life like the animals in RC do. Instead of a thunderstorm they have a meteor storm. I think it could be scary for kids with the dark and the loud noises... but I'd say if they've been to RC and enjoyed that, they would probably like this too.

We walked in to check it out this spring and when the meteor shower hit my kids went running and screaming out of the store. They were 2/4/6 and literally I had to chase after them. They were terrified.

It looks like a fun place, but for older kids or kids that don't scare easily.

I might have been there when that happened because my mom and I walked in to see what it was like and a kid ran into me with tears coming down his face total fear... maybe it just happens often.

I have to agree, its for older kids or kids who don't scare easy! I think it was A LOT louder than the RC!

I think it would be scarier for kids than RC. It was a pretty cool place, but I could definitely see it scaring little ones.

Just checking out the retail shop was loud and very very crowded. Not sure what month we did this, but I know it was the middle of the week and mid afternoon.

We ate there last October. It's like the RF with different names and themes. Instead of a storm in the rain forest, there is a meteor shower storm somewhere on Earth a million years ago. They happen every 15? minutes or so. It could be scary for younger children.

My friends were there this June with their kids, ages 6 & 8, and they loved it.

We have eaten there about 4 times in three trips. All of our grand kids are in their 20s so can't say they would be frightened. The food is very good, at least what we had, and reasonable. There were plenty of little kids there and although I did notice some clinging to the parents when the meteor shower started I didn't see any in great fear and running out. All in all I 2would say It's a fun place to bring kids.

I am worried about the baby (she's 4) and she is scared of fireworks, pirates, witches, the dark and ants. *lol*

so we got back!!!!
my 2 yr old who is afraid of nothing LOVED it!!! except she colored on some rocks oops! my 3yr old who is afraid of everything, was scared to death of the t rex at the entrance. we manuevered our way to the table and both girls were fine except they were fighting over crayons. when the meteor shower came on, they were so quiet. i was hoping that they would keep having them. we walked around the restaruant and nina was petting a baby mammoth. it then lifted its nose and did whatever mammoth noise they make. she jumped and looked scared but then went right back to petting it!!! we did build a dino which was great until the birth certificate part when they decided they could care less about the dinos and wanted to play with the computers. overall, we had ALOT of fun!!!!
