Leonda Levchuk

Underrated show. It could be scary to little kids and my 20 year old...it has spiders, loud noises and things that poke you on the seats. My personal fave and we also do it on the way out of the park

Janet Wilson

Really enjoyed the show. Great for adults too. They have great special effects. Might be a little too much for very young children.

Dawn Star

Children between the ages of 2-5 could be really frightened during this show bcuz the bugs try to "kill you" with spray & scary themed images & the bugs come at you in 3D & physically touch your seat.

Noel Clarke

Brilliant show that still works after all these years. Nice immersive experience which a 4D feel with smells and moving bits of seats. If you are in the park you have to watch this show.

Courtney Hill

This 4D movie has a bit more scary fun than the others. Small children who are easily frightened won't like some of the effects. Mickey's PhilharMagic or MuppetVision are more suited for little ones.

Sara Hof

My four year old son loved it, as did I. It wasn't actually scary, but someone who is already afraid of bugs would not like it. Great 3D, cute show .

Mike Seilback

Really great 4-d movie in the middle of the Animal Kingdom's iconic tree . But don't bring little children as it could scare them.

Fabricio Vieira

Great 3D show for families! Everyone will have fun!

Jason H.

Surprisingly cute and fun. Worth seeing.

Glenn Mangold

Simple fun and Air Conditioned for all ages

Christopher Buckley

Though a terrific attraction , this proved way too intense for small kids in the audience, even my normally thrill-seeking 5-year old. Parental discretion advised.

al viciedo

If you want your kids to cry and have nightmares, go on this ride. Ride spoiler: they spit water at you and stab you in the back at random times. Scary.

Dan Sohayda

Don't try for front row seats, they're not as good to capture all the show effects as seats further back in the theater .

Laur Lo Ski

Honestly I didn't love it, I wouldn't recommend it but if you are a fan of bugs or the movie A Bug 's Life than I would recommend the attraction .

Magaly

One of my favorites rides! Try to find as many animals as possible at The Tree of Life .

Clarissa McDaniel

Try to enter in the middle of the group as you have to move all the way to the end of the row

Gina Sanchez

This show is very cute but can often be frightening to small children because it gets dark and loud !

Brandon Ronacher

Inside the big tree ! Always fun to go to this every year! It's always tough to be a bug ! ;)

Mercedes Grohl

Very funny! FastPass is not necessary since there is a new show every fifteen minutes.

Simon Wheatley

Our five year old found this terrifyingly scary and we had to make an emergency exit part way through.

Kyle LeBeau

If you have small children you may want to skip this one because it gets a little intense

Jeff Collins

Be sure to sit properly in your seat to ensure you get the full experience.

Megan McHaffey

Creepy crawlies will get you at the end. A 3d show with some SFx like smell, air bursts and a little water. You won't get drenched, but will be sprayed.

jiresell

Cute 3D show with some great surprises and special effects.

Jim Bergantzel

When entering, try to be in the middle of the pack. They will ask everone to move all the way across each row. If you're in the middle when entering, you'll be close to the middle of your row.

Tammy

Please let the bugs and beetles out first! ;)

Byron Jack

Really cool 4d ride but I don't think it's for little ones.

Steffanie Camilo

Good 3D experience!

Abby Gray

Keep your back against the seat to feel the bee sting, stay seated at the end for the beetles effect.

Chrysa Ake

Watch out for the hornets in your seat, middle is the best, and lookout for spider overhead! Super fun experience.

The Transit Navigator

Watch this Bug show for a true example of Bug life. Don't get up too early, or you'll miss the surprise at the end!

Dave G

When you exit, take a left when everyone else heads right.

Nancy Kang

3D *AND* interactive! Fun! Even for adults!

Taio Deloatch

3 D shows are great for everyone.

Barbara

Can be scary for small kids, and needs a refresh.

Ronny Oemraw

The views are worth it

Stephanie Rendon

This was so much fun. Do not pass this up!

Phillip Rinehart

This was fun. My first experience in 4D.

Jess Concepcion

Watch out for those pesky critters on your way out!!!

Ernie Layug

You should give a STANDING ovation at the end of the show.

Todd Rix

I would say children younger than four should probably skip this one. My kids - thrill seekers but not bug lovers - hated this at 8 and 10 y/o. YMMV.

Colton Provias

Get your picture taken with David Greybeard, the large chimpanzee head right outside the doors of the lobby.

Jay Beaver

Make way for the maggots or they will make their own way past you... ;)

Zandra Baheyadeen

Plan your trip for earlier in the week less wait times.

Adrienne Yao

Cool show - totally surprised me and confused me! Hahah

Randy Sakagawa

It's a slight trek from the entrance to the theater around the tree of life

Jennifer Willcox

Little kids will cry!

Antoine Holmes

OMG!!!! Great show!!! Must see!!!!

Chris R

Scary and intense for little ones

W Walters

Better view towards the back.
