Do you have a dinosaur lover at home like me? There’s a restaurant that’s perfect for a dino-themed birthday for kids. Dragon Planet Restaurant in Solana is the ultimate destination for a fun, exciting, and truly memorable celebration!
From the moment the kids walk in, their eyes will light up with wonder. The restaurant is a dinosaur lover’s dream, featuring a giant T. rex skeleton, prehistoric-themed decor, and vibrant dinosaur artwork that’s guaranteed to spark excitement and laughter. And don’t worry about noisy little guests; this place is designed for kids to be kids!

There’s a whole section in the back (the part that’s connected to the rest of the mall) that has large tables and is more suited for a private(ish) party. If you’re not picky about having other diners around, there’s no need to book out the whole restaurant. They’ll rearrange their tables in advance to fit as many guest as you’re planning on inviting.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Dragon Planet Restaurant goes above and beyond with its live bearded dragon encounters – a unique experience that will make your child’s birthday extra special. The gentle lizards are brought out for kids to pet and even hold (if they’re brave enough!). Watching their faces light up as they interact with these amazing creatures is pure magic.
And let’s talk about the food – because no birthday party is complete without great eats! Dragon Planet Restaurant serves up delicious, fresh dishes that both kids and adults will love. From cheesy mushroom pizza and flavorful pesto pasta to shareable sausage platters, there’s something for everyone. Even picky eaters will leave happy!


For a birthday party restaurant, this place is pretty laid back with its rules. There are no mandatory birthday packages that you need to purchase, and they even have decorations in the restaurant that you can borrow free of charge if they’re available on that day. You order everything for your party from their à la carte menu,and you’re allowed to bring in your own birthday cake
Pro tip: If you’re having your party on a weekend, large groups will have a minimum spending limit. For example, a group of 15-16 people will have a minimum spending limit of around RMB 3,000-4,000.
Whether your child is obsessed with dinosaurs, fascinated by reptiles, or just loves a fun atmosphere, Dragon Planet Restaurant delivers a fun birthday experience.
