Hoping to keep the contents of my wallet from becoming extinct, I herd the kids towards the discovery portion of the restaurant. Additionally, the Build-a-Bear franchise has created a specialty shop just for the T-Rex restaurant, Build-a-Dino, where kids (or adults) can create stuffed dinosaurs and dress them with a seemingly endless inventory of accessories like overalls, ball caps and cell phones. The gift shop has nearly as much floor space as the restaurant and seems to be doing very brisk business with virtually every dinosaur related product you can think of. (On our first visit, my five-year-olds immediately ducked behind me, unsure what to make of this beast.)Ĭontinue reading and watch video after the jump Open the door to step inside and you're immediately greeted by a growling, protective tyrannosaurus mother and her hatchlings. T-Rex is located in the middle of the Legends shopping center and it's tough to miss - replete with smoke, spalshing water, recorded roars and several replicated dinosaur skeletons. (For more detail, view the video after the jump.) (A second is in the works in Orlando, with a third planned for somewhere on the west coast.) The restaurant follows the same idea as the Rainforest Café, with lots of imagery, animatronics and, above all, retailing. Currently, the only T-Rex is found across the street from the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The dinosaur restaurant, or more accurately, T-Rex, is a brand new concept from the folks that brought us The Rainforest Café. For the past few months, my kids' response to "Where do you want to eat?" has always been "THE DINOSAUR RESTAURANT!!!!!" With that decision already made, I recently packed up the car and prepared to head far back in time.
