Animal Kingdom

Opening on Earth Day in 2008 Disney's Animal Kingdom is an ambitious attempt to mix real animal encounters and attractions with a theme park environment. The result is a beautiful celebration of the Earth's animal world. If you're only interested in rides, Animal Kingdom may not seem like it has a lot to offer. But for those who enjoy the details, Animal Kingdom may be their favorite Walt Disney World park of all. Throughout the park there numerous places to watch animals in natural habits or just appreciate the plant life. But there are also plenty of rides including a very authentic safari and an amazing coaster - Expedition: Everest.

The Animal Kingdom attraction guide lists and describes every attraction, dining location and shop in the park. All ratings are on a scale from 1 to 4, 4 being best. Attractions are rated relative to one another, so even a low rated Epcot attraction might be better than many attractions outside of Disney. Ratings are very subjective so please do not use them as your only criteria when planning your visit.

Animal Kingdom is divided into six areas:

• The Oasis
• Discovery Island
• Camp Minnie-Mickey
• Africa
• Rafiki's Planet Watch
• Asia
