Adventureland in Disneyland Park
Get ready for a journey full of adventure and excitement in Adventureland! This part of Disneyland is located on the west side of the park and is the first land you will see if you go left after entering the park after entering via Main Street, U.S.A.
Whether you’re headed into the deep jungle or a temple of doom, there are so many places just waiting to be explored in Adventureland.
Thrilling attractions, a tall treehouse to explore and a tropical hideaway are just some of the fun awaiting your crew. You can also spend some time inside one of the only remaining attractions that Walt Disney himself worked on.
Adventureland Attractions
There are four attractions in Adventureland in Disneyland Park. These include Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, Indiana Jones Adventure, Jungle Cruise and Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson.
Here’s a breakdown of each in more depth below.
Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room (Any Height)
Personally worked on by Walt Disney himself, this attraction was the first time animatronics were used inside a theme park.
The 15-minute show runs continuously throughout the day and serves as a tropical escape from the hustle and bustle of the park.
You can even grab a Dole Whip from the Tiki Juice Bar before you go in. Just be warned, you may be singing “the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room” for the rest of the day!
Indiana Jones Adventure (46 inches / 117 cm) This is the only ride that offers Lightning Lane in Adventureland.
It’s hard to believe that this attraction debuted decades ago and it is still delighting guests as much as it did on opening day. The attraction begins as soon as you enter the queue.
You’ll wind through an ancient temple that is full of secrets itself. Watch for hidden messages painted on the walls and a few interactive surprises.
Once you get on the attraction, you’ll board an open-aired vehicle and be taken on a twisting journey. But what will you be seeking? You will be taken on one of three adventures searching for either the Fountain of Eternal Youth, Chamber of Earthly Riches or Observatory of the Future.
No matter which door you enter, you’ll encounter fire, mummies, crashing boulders and snakes… Why did it have to be snakes?
This is easily one of the most popular rides at Disneyland Park! There is a 46” height requirement, so if you have young kids, you may want to consider using the Rider Switch option.
Jungle Cruise (Any Height)
The Jungle Cruise is one of the remaining opening day Disneyland attractions that you can still ride today. You’ll board a river boat and cruise through the Mekong, African Congo, Nile and Amazon Rivers where you’ll spot giraffes, zebras, lions, hippos and so much more.
And don’t worry, there is no shortage of cheesy puns or one liners. In fact, the Jungle Cruise is as well known for its jokes as it is for its wild animals.
Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson (Any Height)
There aren’t many places where you can cross a rope bridge 80 feet in the air, but you can in the Adventureland Treehouse. Guests of all ages will love exploring the family’s found objects, natural resources put to work—and pure ingenuity!
Follow the wood rope stairways up, up, up into the boughs. Discover the mother’s music den, the young sons’ nature room and the teenage daughter’s astronomy loft. Adjacent to the stairway is the home’s iconic waterwheel, which generates the energy needed to power the family’s gadgets and inventions.
You get to the treehouse via an inconspicuous staircase on the border between Adventureland and New Orleans Square. And the views from the top are spectacular.
Adventureland Dining
Stopping for a bite to eat is more than just refueling, it’s an adventure! Here is where you can snack and eat in Adventureland. Don’t forget to Mobile Order on the Disneyland app whenever possible to save time.
Bengal Barbecue (Quick Service)
Bengal Barbecue is famous for their super tasty and affordable skewers available in a variety of meats and veggies.
Some of the most popular options include the Safari Skewer which features bacon wrapped asparagus, and their Bengal Beef Skewers. You can also order their famous Tiger Tail Breadsticks. Menus change often so check your Disneyland mobile app for the latest tasty finds.
Tiki Juice Bar (Quick Service)
The menu at the Tiki Juice Bar is short and sweet. You can order Dole pineapple juice, a Dole Pineapple Whip (which is a vegan soft serve ice cream), or a Dole Whip Float, that’s a combination of the two. There’s no wrong way to do it, just be sure to place your mobile order on the Disneyland app beforehand.
The Tropical Hideaway (Quick Service)
Fans of the original pineapple Dole whips can now try the same treat in new, seasonal flavors. Stop by and see what’s new, try them on their own or in a tropical twist.
You’ll also find a variety of bao and other snack-bites with a selection of fresh fruit and drinks to grab and go.
Not only is the food delicious, the Tropical Hideaway is in an awesome location. It’s hidden behind the Enchanted Tiki Room and nestled up against the river bank of the Jungle Cruise. You will feel like you’ve been completely transported to the tropics.
Tropical Imports
Grab a quick, healthy snack from Tropical Imports while you’re winding the streets of Adventureland. You can order a giant pickle, bag of chips, fresh fruit and more.
Adventureland Shopping
Need to pick up a thing or two during your travels? These are the shopping pitstops in Adventureland.
Adventureland Bazaar
This open-air market sells unique clothing, accessories and other souvenirs from around the globe. In fact, it’s one of the only stores located inside one of the Parks that sells non-Disney merchandise.
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of Disney merch as well. You can buy hard-to-find items like animal print Minnie Ears.
Adventureland Tips
One of Disneyland’s most beloved folklore legends lives in Adventureland. According to the tale, the Little Man of Disneyland is a leprechaun named Patrick who used to live in the orange groves in what is now Disneyland®.
He refused to leave the land and now has a tiny home at the base of a tree near the entrance to Indiana Jones Adventure. Watch for it on your next visit.
Keep your eyes peeled for other treasures in Adventureland. For example, Aladdin’s “other” lamp and Shrunken Ned can both be found inside the Adventureland Bazaar. We won’t tell you too much about them so they still keep their air of mystery.
Adventureland has one large stroller area and appropriate stroller parking is enforced in order to keep foot traffic through the area flowing. Make sure you park your empty stroller in the stroller parking area.
As a general stroller tip, it is a good idea to have some identifying items on your stroller so it’s always easy to spot.
Please note, the above information for Adventureland may be incomplete, seasonal, and/or subject to change at any time.
