Come and explore Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park!

The last, and largest, Disney World theme park was opened on April 22, 1998. Covering more than 500 acres, it is themed after animal conservation, pioneered by Walt Disney. In consideration for the animals, the park closes earlier than the others. There are no fireworks at Animal Kingdom, and the animals have strict schedules to avoid stress.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums,. This means that they have met and exceeded the standards in education, conservation, and research. It is the eighth most visited park in the world, and the fifth most visited in the United States.

The park’s icon is the 14-story-tall artificial tree, named the Tree of Life. It is artificial and carved into it are 325 animals. Inside it is the 3-D interactive film It’s Tough to Be a Bug!, and is similar to Rafiki’s tree from The Lion King.

Animal Kingdom is divided into six themed areas, all of them with many different exotic animals to see and learn about, as well as many things to do and explore.

At The Orlando Vacation Store you can get cheap Disney vacation packages for your entire family and view the spectacle that is Animal Kingdom.
