Tucked away just outside the Fourth Ring Road is a restaurant that’s made for the inner paleontologist in all of us. Jurassic Club 侏罗纪博物馆餐厅 runs like it’s never heard of the word copyright. It’s essentially a restaurant that’s turned itself into its own version of Jurassic Park.
Before you even walk into the restaurant, you know you’ve found the right place because you come face-to-face with a gigantic T-Rex with a burger in its mouth.
From the moment you walk in, you know that whoever owns this place is as obsessed with dinos as you are. There are giant dinosaurs all over the place and lush greenery that looks like you’re in a jungle. 
Life-sized T-Rex skeletons tower over the dining area, a gentle brachiosaurus peeks through the foliage, and detailed murals depict scenes from the Jurassic period. It’s a visual feast that captivates the imagination before the first course even arrives.
The restaurant masterfully balances a menu of delicious and approachable comfort food designed to please every member of the family. Think juicy burgers, crispy golden fries, hearty pastas, and pizzas that are a hit with both kids and adults.
The real treat, especially for the younger dino enthusiasts, is the restaurant’s meet and greet. Aside from their giant dinosaur installations, the restaurant also has “live” dinosaur appearances. Periodically, their resident dinosaurs come out to roam among the tables. Looking surprisingly similar to Beta from Jurassic World, the little velociraptor is always a hit, especially when you keep missing the raptor meet and greet when you visit Universal Studios.
Jurassic Club offers special birthday packages that often include a reserved “expedition site” (a private table area), a themed birthday cake, and a special visit from the dinosaurs to lead the crowd in a roaring rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Instead of traditional party games, kids are treated to an educational and exciting show about these magnificent creatures. It’s a party that will be talked about on the schoolyard for weeks to come.
