I have never seen a McDonalds that looks like the top pic. I remember plenty with play spaces, but they weren't visible from outside.

Iirc this was the McDonald's just outside the Dallas zoo.

If it isn't that one, the same thing happened to that one. Sad times.

Pretty sure that's the Dallas one too.

I spent a lot of time in the car crossing the U.S. in the 80's and 90's so I saw a LOT of McDonalds. Most of them are bog standard but once in a while you come across one like this where they spiced it up. I've seen one with a train engine out front, one with a parked airplane, etc. There's one in Tucson with a giant T-Rex statue in front of it. I've also seen some crazy play places with slides going out of the building and back inside. Would've loved that when I was a kid.
