You sure the elephants aren't there? I've only eaten at the Woodfield RF 2 times that I can remember (some years back). (though I,ve been in there a lot more.) Once was near the Mushroom, which is cool when it "rains"

About 6 years ago, friends were in town from Montana, they were originally from Crystal Lake years ago. I took them downtown, for dinner at the Rainforest there. Then took the sunset cruise on the Wendella boats.

My cousin from Michigan came to town, with his 16 year old son, 2 years ago. His son had never been out of Michigan, or the west side of Michigan, so had never seen a big city. He is a baseball fan and a Detroit Tiger fan, so he had gotten tickets for the 3 of us to go to a White Sox vs Tigers game.

So we went downtown and had lunch at Rainforest, then walked over t Michigan Ave and the river and did a Wendella river and lake cruise, so that Josh could get a good look and experience of the good parts of Chicago.

I definitely remember the elephants and gorillas there.

As an aside, if your coming down 90, at rt 59, there is another restaurant, Claim Jumper. It's not "fun" like Rainforest, but has got good food.

Well, Rainforest and Claim Jumper (and others) belong to Landry's restaurant chain. They have a reward card where you get points every time you eat or buy something at one of the restaurants. Don't know how often you'd go to any. Just thought I'd throw that FYI at you.
