We were really interested in taking our two-year old to the petting zoo at Animal Kingdom. Our daughter hugged every animal there! Thank goodness they were all exceptionally clean. We also enjoyed the safari ride even when the giraffe tried to climb into our truck for a ride! Too funny!

It's wonderful, it's Disney World and everything here is wonderful but in 1/2 a day during a slow season you can see the best of Animal Kingdom. I highly recommend Tusker House for breakfast with Donald and the rest of the gang!

There are a few rides which are so wonderful. It is fun but not as much as the other parks. We have gone more than once but there just is not as much in this park for kids.

This one is something that is definitely not on par with other Disney parks..It is more of a zoo type and the African safari is the only thing that is little interesting, though not worth the wait for about an hr for a 20 min ride. The Asian, African sections are more of a shopping carnival where you can just... More

We left this park to last when visiting disney world,waiting for a cooler day, as we had heard that the animals are easier to spot on the cooler days. We thought this park was smaller than the others and one day would be enough,but we were wrong. You need at least two days as there is a lot to see... More

I'm writing a review to set the record straight on Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. Do not go into Animal Kingdom expecting a park FULL of massive thrill rides, and you won't be disappointed. This park isn't about the thrill of man made attractions, it is about the thrill of the world around us - no matter what part of the... More

Flew into Orlando and hit the parks for a few days. The five year old had more fun here with animals than the rides. Not nearly as busy as the rest of the parks and a lot of shade. Safari ride was a hit as well as Lion King. Clean. Everybody had a lot of fun.

We just got back from Disneyworld yesterday and it never disappoints us. Animal Kingdom is a more laid back park. You can walk around looking at the animals and vegetation and listen to the African music. We did the sarfari in early morning and late afternoon. We saw the same amount of animals each time we were lucky. There is... More

Our family visited all 4 Disney parks and found Animal Kingdom the most fun and enjoyable of all the parks with the least amount of crowds. Maybe we chose the least crowded day. But the park is smaller, very well laid out and easy to navigate. We enjoyed all the exhibits and the rides and at closing time had energy... More
