Really....I heard it seats 600 people! I was hoping we might have a chance to do a lunch in the late afternoon next week, like 3pm, but not if it's mobbed.
I wish they took reservations.

I did get to go eat at T-Rex on October 14 - opening day. The menu has appetizers, carnivore (that's what it said - beef, ribs, chicken) Pasta, and Seafood. There were also several appetizers and salads. There were three desserts. The "signature" dessert seemed to be something called chocolate extinction - enough for two people had chocolate cake, ice cream and crumbled butterfingers. The hamburgers looked like the size of dinner plates. No one I saw had the ribs so I can't tell you what they looked like. My friend and I both had pasta. The lasagna was good, nice size portion, served with a wedge of bread. Salad could be added for additional cost. My friend had the tortelini (sp?) which was in a cream based sauce. She said it was very good. We split fried mozerella sticks appetizer which came with this little blob of baked cheese on the side to munch on as well.

Ambiance - very similar to Rain Forest. About every 30 minutes there is a meteor shower and the animatronic figures go crazy. There is one part called the ice cave, it changes colors when it "melts." The bar with the aquarium and the hanging octopus was really neat. The bar has some "signature" drinks which are featured in the beginning of the menu.

Overall, it was good food, you pay a little more than it may be worth due to location. The gift shop is similar to Rain Forest but with dino theme to all the items. There were some educational toys about dinos there. They also have a sand pit to dig in for little ones. They can uncover "bones". You can also buy a bag of fossil parts or minerals and rocks and take it out to the panning area (kind of like gold panning) where you sift it in water looking for the fossils or minerals. Build a Dino is just like Build a Bear except the animals are dinos. The pink one was cute
