Rainforest Cafe is a themed Restaurant chain owned by Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. of Houston, Texas.

The restaurant is decorated to depict some features of a generic rainforest including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, robotic animals and insects. Large marine aquariums are common in most restaurants. Automated water sprinklers, set to specific patterns and synchronized lights are also featured. A simulated thunderstorm occurs every thirty minutes. It not only simulates rain, but also lightning and thunder by flashing lights and thunder effects played through high-powered subwoofers while all the robotic animals panic. The restaurant is partitioned into several rooms by means of rain curtains which fall into basins running along the tops of partition walls and booths. The flow rate of these rain curtains intensifies during the simulated thunderstorms. Some of the The Rainforest Cafe restaurants also have a Retail Village where rainforest themed merchandise is sold.
