SWISS FAMILY TREEHOUSE

The 60-foot-tall tree house has been a favourite Adventureland attraction since the Magic Kingdom opening in 1971. Based on the 1960's Disney classic 'The Swiss Family Robinson', the Swiss Family Treehouse takes guests on a tour around the man-made home made famous by the shipwrecked family. When visitors reach the top of the tree, they can look out from the high perspective and feel all the more that they’re in the middle of a tropical island. The winding river and lush bamboo and palm foliage of the nearby Jungle Cruise blend perfectly into the picture.
