“A prehistoric family adventure.”
On October 14, 2008, the prehistoric-themed restaurant T-Rex opened in Walt Disney World’s Downtown Disney Marketplace. The restaurant, designed by the same company that created Rainforest Cafe, features several prehistoric creatures, including a 15-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus Rex, in several themed rooms. A hands-on area called the Paleo Zone is available for kids to dig up fossils and discover various treasures. The restaurant features standard American fare, including Jurassic Chicken Tidbits and Fossil Fish-N-Chips.
