Understand

Welcome to a kingdom of animals, real, ancient, and imagined! Walt Disney World's fourth and newest theme park, opened in 1998, presents expansive habitats for its animals, as close to their natural environments as possible. Here, you won't find animals in small iron cages, but rather thriving in their own spaces. The park's most iconic ride, Expedition Everest, towers 200 feet over the surrounding terrain and competes with the Tree of Life as the park's most visible landmark. Other major rides and attractions include It's Tough to be a Bug, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, Dinosaur, Flight of Passage, Navi River Journey, and more. Animal Kingdom also conveniently neighbors Blizzard Beach, a vast water park themed as a melting ski resort. Come experience the wonder, beauty, and excitement of this unique kingdom!
