We have nothing close to this is Disneyland and I think because of that this park has always seemed to be my family favorite. Love the mix of rides, zoos and shows..great time for everyone.

Although the animals were in captivity, it was done in a way that showcased them rather than just put them behind bars. WHen Animal Kingdom first opened I was told by my sister that it was the hottest place on earth and that it wasn't worth the money. The first time I went was a year after that. ANimal Kingdom...

In the summer months I highly recommend visiting this park first thing in the morning or evening hours. The animals are usually a little more active then. We got there at 8am right when Ak opened and it the Safari first thing! Glad we did! It was awesome and the animals were up amid extremely close to our safari truck.... More

If the crowds are low you can see this park in an afternoon. Safari ride was a hoot really enjoyed it. Expedition Everest was a blast dont miss it. If at all possible get a savanna view room at the animal kingdom lodge . OMG spectacular you will be in transported we loved it

We love Animal Kingdom although you can spend just a morning there if its not peak time and do another pak in the afternoon. The animals like being out in the morning when its coolest so if you are there for park opening and walk at a nice fast pace to Africa its a great time to go on safari.... More

A truly unique park with some great live shows! Make sure you do the Safari, we usually ride it a couple of times, and the Lion King show is amazing!

So much fun to do at Animal Kingdom - we love the safari ride and wondering which animals we'll see this time...we got to be the family to raise the camp flag and participate in The Lion King musical - just a perfect trip for our daughters 3 and 12 birthdays

Our family visited Animal Kingdom last week, and we were very impressed. It has a great mix of thrill rides, shows, exhibits etc. It is very entertaining, and seeing all the animals is especially worthwhile.

This is a place you can visit in conjunction with other venues at Florida Disney and around central Florida. You feel like to are really in an exotic country and have a chance to see many animals for a lot less than taking a safari to Africa. Accomodations are great and restuarants are wonderful with lots of chance to experience... More
