Swiss Family Treehouse
Swiss Family Treehouse is the treehouse in Adventureland, based on the classic Disney film Swiss Family Robinson. The attraction has been here since Magic Kingdom opened in 1971. You climb the giant tree yourself.
The concept
In the film, the Robinson family is shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island. They build a home in a huge tree, using items they salvaged from the wreck. At Magic Kingdom you cross a bridge to the foot of the tree and climb up wooden staircases. The tree itself was built entirely by Disney.
The Experience
Along the way you peek into the family's open rooms: bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen full of 19th-century belongings. At the bottom, a large wooden waterwheel scoops water from a stream. A clever system carries that water up to the rooms above. From the top, six storeys up, you get a 360-degree view.

Expect 116 steps
To reach the top you climb 116 steps in total. Pushchairs and wheelchairs can't go up.
Go for the view
From the top, six storeys high, you look out all around over Adventureland and the Jungle Cruise river.
Set your own pace
There's no ride; you walk it yourself. Take your time to have a good look at the rooms and clever contraptions.
Visitor information
There's no minimum height, but you do need to be able to climb 116 steps. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. There's no Lightning Lane. The wait is usually short.
For explorers
Swiss Family Treehouse is ideal for children who love climbing and looking around. Know La Cabane des Robinson at Disneyland Paris? Then you'll recognise the idea here, in a different tree.
