The Boneyard is an interactive play area located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. It is a unique attraction that provides children with an opportunity to explore and play in a dinosaur-themed archaeological dig site.
The Boneyard is designed to resemble a paleontological dig site, complete with fossils, dinosaur bones, and excavation equipment. Aspiring young paleontologists can engage in hands-on activities like digging for dinosaur bones in the sand and brushing off dirt to uncover fossils.
The play area features tunnels, slides, climbing structures, and bridges, allowing kids to explore and have fun while pretending to be archaeologists searching for dinosaur remains. The Boneyard provides a safe and entertaining space for children to burn off some energy and indulge their curiosity and imagination.
Parents and guardians can relax on nearby shaded benches while keeping an eye on their little ones as they play. It’s a great spot for families to take a break from the park’s attractions and enjoy some downtime together.
The Boneyard is located in DinoLand U.S.A. within Disney’s Animal Kingdom, making it a natural fit with the park’s overall theme of celebrating the wonders of nature, wildlife, and prehistoric creatures.
