Missouri just got a whole new way to experience the magic of Chick-fil-A! A brand-new Chick-fil-A attraction has officially opened in Cape Girardeau, and it’s serving up a heaping helping of fun for the whole family. What’s on the menu? A chance for kids (and the young at heart!) to step into their own miniature Chick-fil-A and whip up some seriously imaginative play. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Chick-fil-A attraction in the Cave State.
Miniature Chick-fil-A Exhibit Serves Up Imagination at Discovery Playhouse
The miniature Chick-fil-A exhibit at Discovery Playhouse, a children’s museum in Cape Girardeau, offers a delightful space where children—and those young at heart—can dive into imaginative, hands-on play. Designed to mimic a real Chick-fil-A restaurant in a kid-friendly scale, the interactive setup lets young visitors step into the shoes of team members or customers, blending fun with learning.
Based on photos shared across social media, the exhibit features several playful and realistic elements:
- Order Counter: Equipped with a pretend cash register, order pads, and a full menu board, this area invites kids to practice taking and fulfilling orders just like real restaurant staff.
- Play Food: Faux Chick-fil-A menu items, crafted to look impressively real (though not edible), let children “prepare” and “serve” meals to guests.
- Uniforms & Accessories: Miniature uniforms—complete with aprons and hats—enhance the role-playing experience, helping kids fully immerse themselves in their roles.
- Seating Area: Tables and chairs recreate a dining space where pretend guests can sit and “enjoy” their meals.
The exhibit is decked out in authentic Chick-fil-A branding, from its iconic red and white color scheme to its recognizable logo and decor, creating an experience that feels remarkably true to life.
Beyond sparking creativity, the exhibit also promotes important developmental skills like communication, cooperation, and a basic understanding of customer service—all in a fun, engaging environment.
