Disney World is a magical vacation destination for families, but many adults love traveling to Disney and have vacations full of fun and memories. Some guests might not realize that adult-only vacations can be extremely fun and just as magical as traveling with children. Animal Kingdom is a park that celebrates conservation, nature, and explores the wild-side of our planet. While there are many attractions that children love at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there are also attractions that adults will enjoy. If you are traveling to Animal Kingdom this year as an adult then check out these attractions you just can’t miss.

Avatar Flight of Passage

This attraction is located in Pandora-The World of Avatar. Adults will absolutely adore how this attraction brings the world of Avatar to life. With a height requirement of 44 inches or taller this attraction gives guests a thrill like they’ve never experienced before. Using both 3D and practical effects, Avatar Flight of Passage allows guests to take flight on their very own banshee. The small details within this attraction like the banshee breathing really brings the whole experience to life.

Expedition Everest

Located in the Asia section of the park, Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, takes guests on a wild train ride through Mt. Everest.

Kilimanjaro Safaris

Animal Kingdom’s crown jewel attraction is Kilimanjaro Safaris. Adults and kids both will love this attraction.

The animals are all in environments that closely resemble theirs of the wild. They are comfortable in their exhibit, and you never know how close they’ll get to your ride vehicle. A Cast Member drives the safari vehicle and gives guests facts and information about the animals that they see.
