moth Chicken, Caveman Punch and Chocolate Extinction - you get the idea. Kids will
love it and the food is better than you might expect.

and limbo dancing, coconut racing and other Polynesian-themed shenanigans. The only
thing on the menu is the all-you-can-eat family-style kebabs and veggies, slid off skewers
