some VERY dedicated and knowledgeable cast members here, with fascinating displays and animal Q&A...great fun for kids and adults with inquiring minds.

Sharon Balavage

"affection section" (the touch area) will be closed until mid to late June 2012, but there is plenty to see and learn inside. Try the Sounds of the Rainforest booth !

Cassidy Lancaster

The Wildlife Express only goes to Rafiki's Planet Watch. It is solely for transportation to the isolated part of the part. If you are looking for the safari , stay in Africa!

Sasha Naomi

There's an area to pet the animals. Be aware, the Lamas and Goats do run from one holding location to another so stay out of their way lol

Sharon Balavage

It's a behind-the-scenes look at all of the work that goes into Disney's Animal Kingdom, plus what Disney animal experts are doing to help wildlife . Don't miss the rainforest booths !

Mike Seilback

Good concept but takes away from the "authenticness " of the safari - still good experience and photo op with Rafiki

Kyle Lynch

Check the schedule for the morning and you might see surgery on a lion or medical visits at the facility for any number of animals.

Kayla BeeMuddy

A true hidden gem ! Great place to take a break and relax. Very educational !

jaime garcia

It's in air conditioning ! Very informative and interesting for kids off all ages.

Sarah Beyel

Take the train ride and come learn about our environment and how to protect and preserve it! And say hi to Rafiki!

Become a week before thanks giving day, its the best, no lines

Quite didn't see the point. Maybe I missed something? Just thought it was a place for pix with Rafiki. If so, somebody please advise?

Christopher White

Conscience grabbing to look after our planet. Shame the Americans can't heed there own message.

Evy Valentin

Have those cameras & autograph books ready! You may see Rafiki, Pocahontas or Jiminy Cricket :)

The Transit Navigator

Learn about conservation and more in this wonderful environmental education tale!

Jason Konen

The petting zoo is under construction . Might want to skip this area this trip. (October 2014)

Rebecca Hodges Morris

go in the morning to see basic medical check ups on some animals. Read more

James Hsiao

Ignore anyone telling you that the train here is a shortcut to the Asia section of the park . The shortcut is a lie.

Not worth the trip unless you are REALLY into animals.

Vc precisa pegar um trenzinho pra chegar nessa área. Gostei bastante das cabines com sons da natureza! Lá vc encontrar os personagens Disney pra tirar fotos. ????

Luis J Carranza S

Esta área está bien por si quieren ver el cuidado de los animales; o para los niños pequeños, que pueden acariciar animales de granja .

Gabriela Alves

Lindo Safari, vale a pena esperar na fila os 30mins ou usar seu PF.
