    We made a reservation- upon arrival he did not even check our name. We were seated at pretty well the worst table which was right beside a door employees were going in and out of - and all congregated our table to socialize. There was a squished French fry on our table. People who were waiting in a lineup were brought in and seated at very fun tables up by the actual animals. Our server was replaced after our order had been taken. The new server came by about ten minutes later to make sure he had the order correct - he then stood and socialized which was clearly more important than placing our order. When the food was delivered my order was missing the chicken I had added. I didn’t bother to ask due to how long it took to get our order I didn’t want to have to wait any longer. The food was very “bland” - The burger looked like the Costco frozen patties. We then paid and the whole time the server was at our table, he was talking to another server who had stopped about the busy drive to work. The final stop was the washroom, which was absolutely unattended. One clogged toilet with water all over the floor, paper all over the floors. Overall terrible From beginning to end.

    I should have read the online reviews but was stoked to take my kids to a place I remember fondly as a child. This was not that place anymore. It was so loud. The animatronics were fewer, the thunderstorms barely had any effect anymore, the smell was stale, the service was fine but not great. The prices were absolutely outrageous. Everything was $30-$40 or more. The fries were ok but my fish wasn't flaky. It had an almost pre-chewed texture. Nobody in my family was impressed and we left feeling hungry, disappointed and robbed. Our meal for four of us, one child, one teen and two adults was over $200. We two drinks but none of the food was fancy. A kids meal, chicken fingers, a chicken sandwich and fish and chips. No steak or seafood. How do you justify charging this much??

    From the moment we walked in the smell hit me. A stale, can’t really clean all of the decor on the walls and ceiling thoroughly so they have soaked up years of food smells. We waited in line for 15 minutes to tell them we had a reservation and were then told we should have just cut to the front of the line instead of waiting. We were sat in the middle of the restaurant and it was loud. Families having fun, animal noises, the cranked music. You had to yell to be heard by the person next to you. Our server was great. She was friendly, kind and knew her stuff. However there seemed to be a lot of busses walking around unsure of where to go or what to do and other employees were quite rude to them. The food was terrible. We ordered an appetizer plate and nachos. The nachos were a gross soggy mess covered in what could only be described as melted cheese whiz and the only edible thing on the appetizer plate was the deep fried cheese curds. Our bill for three sodas, one special slushy drink with take home cup, Nachos and the appetizer plate was more than $140. The online menu has no pricing because every item is between $30-$40. So for a family of 4, the appetizer route was the most cost effective. Unfortunately I would not return to this restaurant. There are so many better restaurants on Clifton hill.

    Les prix sont exorbitants pour une qualité de nourriture assez basse. L'environnement était beaucoup trop bruyant.

    We ordered just a few things and food took 1.5 hours. We had fun but the wait was way too extreme with kiddos.

    Le prix est beaucoup trop élevé pour ce qui est offert. Une mauvaise odeur d’humidité combinée à un établissement vieillissant et mal entretenu donne une première impression très négative. La propreté laisse grandement à désirer : des papiers de toilette jonchent le sol, les toilettes sont dans un état déplorable, des restes de condiments traînent sur les tables mal nettoyées, et les rebords de tables noirs laissent des taches sur les pantalons. L’attente est interminable, même pour obtenir un simple verre d’eau — et encore plus longue pour un cocktail. Un seul barman pour une centaine de clients, c’est clairement insuffisant. L’endroit se veut familial, mais il est loin d’être reposant. La nourriture est correcte, sans plus, mais les prix sont démesurés pour la qualité offerte. Bien qu’il y ait des effets sonores et lumineux, le son des haut-parleurs est atroce et les effets visuels sont mal exécutés. Nous avions visité celui de Walt Disney en 2012, et l’expérience était d’un tout autre niveau — tant au niveau de la nourriture, de l’ambiance que de la propreté. Le concept reste excellent, mais plusieurs ajustements sont nécessaires pour redorer l’image de ce restaurant et lui rendre hommage, à la hauteur de celui de Walt Disney.

    The staff are very friendly and the experience of the restaurant itself is great for the kids. However, the prices for the food is ridiculous! 1 kids meal with a chocolate milk, plus 1 poutine and 1 chicken wrap with fries cost over $92.00 with taxes. To make matters worse, the food is average at best.
