Disney World Set to Bring 2 NEW Additions to the Tree of Life

By 1 Comment

Ever since Animal Kingdom‘s opening in 1998, the Tree of Life has been one of the most stunning and breathtaking parts of the whole park.

Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

It’s the park’s icon for a reason! The Tree of Life is a faux baobab tree built around an oil rig that has over 300 animals hand-carved into it (everything from an ant to a chimpanzee, and so many more), and it’s over 145 feet high. It’s incredible in so many ways, and while we love walking around its pathways as much as the next person and exploring what it has to offer, since It’s Tough to Be A Bug closed, this area has been pretty barren. We’re thrilled that there are MORE additions coming to this area of the park later this year, but you’ll want to know EVERYTHING on its way to really appreciate it!
