We love nature and animals, and we love to explore. However, we cannot always visit all the beautiful places to admire all the living diversity on this land. There is so much to see – so much to explore! However, we can come to Disney’s Animal Kingdom zoological theme park and experience first-hand breathtaking African Savannah, or see tigers in Asia, or come to a close encounter with Central and South American Crocodiles!
The Tree of Life.
At the center of the park there is a Tree of Life – an impressive 145 feet tall and 50 feet wide at its base tree, home to over 300 meticulously detailed animal carvings throughout its massive trunk, gnarling roots and outstretched branches.
At Animal Kingdom you transcend the time and distance as you can encounter wild animals and explore exotic jungle trails all in one park – without the need of physical travel to different continents! You can even become a paleontologist!
This is the biggest sensorial bin I have ever seen! The child gets to use his/her tactile senses and really explore through the sense of touch the texture of sand, while revealing with every scoop of the shovel another bone, which might lead to the mankind’s biggest discovery!
After leaving the Dinosaur park, children were excited to encounter fist-hand a beautiful diversity of animal kingdom.
The South America Anteater uses its sticking two-foot tong to gobble up at many at 30,000 bugs per day!
Spoonbills sweep their long broad bill from side to side to catch small fish and aquatic creatures and scoop them out of the water.
Also known as “flame bird”, this spoonbill gets its bright pink plumage from a diet rich in shrimp (just like flamingoes).
During our trip, children were truly emerged into the World Of Animals, not to mention the Explore Passports, which prompted them to stop by at multiple location to earn badges after learning an interesting fact about an animal or a country. As a result children received a hands-on zoology lesson with experts sharing their insider tips while observing real life animals in their natural habitats! We will definitely be back to the Animal Kingdom! There are more badges to earn!
p.s. See our African Savanna post here where we could encounter up close one of the most unbelievable animals!
