Disney's Animal Kingdom

Open World-class Last verified: 5 Oct 2026

Theme park · Four Corners, Florida, United States

Part of Walt Disney World Resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom opened in 1998 and spreads across a large site. Expedition Everest is its signature roller coaster, while Avatar Flight of Passage and Na'vi River Journey, both from 2017, Kilimanjaro Safaris and Kali River Rapids fill out the day. The 44 m Tree of Life stands in the park as well. It suits mixed groups of all ages and deserves a full day of its own.
