Which Disney park has animals?

Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Walt Disney World Resort.



The primary Disney park featuring live animals is Disney’s Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Spanning over 500 acres, it is the largest theme park in the world and serves as a hybrid between a traditional theme park and an accredited zoo. It is home to approximately 2,000 animals representing 300 species. The park's crown jewel is the Kilimanjaro Safaris, where guests ride in open-sided vehicles to see lions, elephants, giraffes, and rhinos roaming through an expansive savanna. Other animal-focused areas include the Maharajah Jungle Trek, featuring tigers and Komodo dragons, and the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. Beyond Animal Kingdom, EPCOT also features live animals in "The Seas with Nemo & Friends" pavilion, which houses one of the world's largest man-made ocean environments with dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles. At Disneyland Resort in California, while there are no major animal-themed parks, the "Adventureland Treehouse" and various small exhibits sometimes feature birds or small reptiles, but for a true zoological experience, Animal Kingdom remains the definitive destination in the Disney global portfolio.
