Rainforest Café The rainforest cafes are
every where in Canada and the United States they have one in Niagara Falls on that street and one in Yorkshire, and many other places across the world
The animals in the rainforest café come to life and start moving and dancing and stuff according to my friend that went there she said that it was cool but things that come to life for me would very creepy but that’s my opinion
