Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Family And Children’s Attractions

Many of the attractions within Animal Kingdom could be considered family-friendly, although some of them may push boundaries for younger children.

Animal Kingdom family and children’s attractions are centred squarely on the animals and the ongoing theme of conservation. Having said that there are a couple of dark and immersive attractions that will also appeal so please check out that section as well.

It’s the animals and the immense detail within this park that children will remember long after their return home.  That’s what makes this one of Disney’s most underrated parks.
