The Swiss Family Treehouse is a charming and classic attraction located at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. Inspired by the 1960 Disney film “Swiss Family Robinson,” the Treehouse offers guests a chance to step into the world of the adventurous Robinson family and explore their intricately designed treetop home.

To experience the Swiss Family Treehouse, guests embark on a self-guided tour up a series of winding staircases that lead through the branches of a massive artificial tree. As they ascend, visitors encounter various scenes and vignettes that depict how the Robinson family ingeniously transformed their treehouse into a functional and comfortable dwelling.

Throughout the Treehouse, guests encounter detailed replicas of the film’s set pieces, including living spaces, bedrooms, a kitchen, and a library. Each area is filled with furnishings and props that showcase the family’s resourcefulness in adapting to their island home.

As guests explore the Treehouse, they are treated to breathtaking views of Adventureland and Magic Kingdom from the treetop vantage points. The lush landscaping surrounding the attraction adds to the immersive experience, making visitors feel like they are truly part of the Robinson family’s jungle abode.

One of the attractions’ charming features is the use of water features, such as a working water wheel and cascading streams, which give a sense of life and energy to the treehouse.

The Swiss Family Treehouse is a delightful attraction for guests of all ages, offering a glimpse into a world of adventure, ingenuity, and family unity. It provides a peaceful and nostalgic escape, allowing visitors to step into the classic tale and appreciate the beauty of nature and human creativity.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other sites include DMR and VideoGamesStats.com.
