Some people visit Animal Kingdom because they want to ride a banshee. Others want to be able to boast that they survived an encounter with a yeti. But as the name suggests, this park is really all about the animals—and there are a LOT of them to see throughout the park!
If you’ve got a kiddo who is obsessed with a particular critter (or maybe you are!), it helps to know where you might find them. From walking trails to the safari, there are plenty of opportunities to get up close and see some incredible animals.
