Disney theme park combining a zoo, Pandora - The World of Avatar and a savanna safari ride.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is at 2901 Osceola Parkway in Lake Buena Vista, on the western side of Walt Disney World. It combines live animal habitats with thrill rides and shows. Main attractions include Kilimanjaro Safaris, Avatar Flight of Passage and Na'vi River Journey in Pandora, Expedition Everest, DINOSAUR, Kali River Rapids and the Festival of the Lion King. The Maharajah Jungle Trek and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail are walking paths included in park admission. The Tree of Life at the center of the park houses the It's Tough to be a Bug show. Animals are most active in the morning, so Kilimanjaro Safaris is best ridden near opening time. Visitors should confirm hours in the My Disney Experience app and call +1 407-939-5277 for assistance.
