"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!

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

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!

This is a cool spot to pet some animals, see some cool insects and reptiles, and potentially see some animals getting routine vet checkups.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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?

For those of you who want to touch every animal you see... Seek some animal touch therapy here ;)

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

Make sure you know how to leave

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

There are 100 hidden mickeys!! Be on the lookout.
Stella BrewerFebruary 25, 2011

Not worth the trip unless you are REALLY into animals.
Robb BarrettDecember 14, 2011
Skip this. Nothing to see.
M. ZarpellonSeptember 27, 2016
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 SJanuary 8, 2016
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 AlvesDecember 17, 2014
Lindo Safari, vale a pena esperar na fila os 30mins ou usar seu PF.
