If you are traveling to Disney World with teenagers and are wondering which Disney park to visit, then continue reading as we explore which Disney park is best for teens.

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom might seem like the park that is more catered towards younger children, but teenagers can find plenty to love at this classic Disney park. Magic Kingdom is home to some great rides for teens like TRON Lightcycle Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Magic Kingdom is also where you can enjoy great Disney shows and entertainment like the Festival of Fantasy parade. If your teen has a favorite character then there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a meet and greet for them within Magic Kingdom as well. There are slow-moving dark rides that the entire family can enjoy together, and your teenager might even find themselves tapping into their inner-child!

EPCOT

EPCOT is a favorite park of many guests, and the older children and adults tend to love EPCOT more than anyone else. This park is full of fun things to do with your teenager, and if your child is a foodie then this park is an absolute must-do! World Showcase alone will keep you and your teenager busy for most of the day as you explore each of the 11 country pavilions. Each pavilion has its own unique attractions, shopping, and dining experiences. Guests love to eat and drink their way around World Showcase and experience different cultures of the world. Other EPCOT attractions that teens love include Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This high-speed roller coaster tells a great story as it zooms through the indoor track. Teenagers will also love The Seas With Nemo and Friends as they explore the massive saltwater aquarium at the exit of the attraction.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios is a great park to visit with teenagers or older children. This park is home to Galaxy’s Edge which gives guests an immersive Star Wars experience. Teens love riding Rise of the Resistance and Smuggler’s Run, and also participating in the lightsaber building experience at Savi’s Workshop. This area of the park, while still able to be enjoyed by everyone, is definitely catered towards the older crowd. Other attractions that teens love at Hollywood Studios include Tower of Terror, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is an incredible park that everyone loves, but teenagers especially can have a wonderful time exploring this park. Animal Kingdom is whimsical with Pandora- World of Avatar, and it is also beautiful and educational with Kilimanjaro Safaris, Conservation Station, and Discovery Island trails. Teenagers will love the sense of adventure and exploration that they get while walking through Animal Kingdom, and adults will love that their family is able to get in touch with nature and experience animal encounters and more.
