Restaurants near Fourth Lake Fen Forest Preserve

As always Coopers Hawk was great. From the food to the service. We love Heidi our waitress and Gloria who checked us out with our case of wine. The food was fantastic.

Great decor and a fun experience for people and kids alike! The animatronics move every few minutes and there’s a giant tank arch you walk under. It is loud since they mimic a tropical thunderstorm and the animatronics make noise, so if your plan is a quiet dinner- this is not the place. But if you love to bask in wonderful atmosphere and heavily themed spots, you’ll enjoy. Rainforest Cafe is a delightful concept with yummy food. My personal favorite is surprisingly the Korean Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Delightful gochujang and sweet and sour sauce over perfectly lightly breaded chicken with nuts. We followed it up with one of our favorites Pastalaya which is a buttery cajun delight with a kick! A volcanooooooo is a must for a rainforest cafe (though I am VERY tempted by their limited time Tsunami Cake and have plans to go back to get it). All in all, definitely worth a try at least once!

Brought friends who had never been before and they loved it. Great food, as always.

We went to this location for Valentine's day. The dine in area was closed for reservations. They decorated for valentine's and even adorned each table with a lit tea candle. Service was amazing! Hot crispy fries and sliders right off the griddle🤤 Thank you so much for a great valentine's experience!
