The Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World is a zoo like no other on the planet! With over 5000 acres of lush vegetation and animal habitat, the Animal Kingdom is a total tropical paradise complete with cooling streams and exuberant foliage. The Animal Kingdom is home to over 1700 animals representing 150 different species from all over the world. Great pains were taken to replicate the natural habitats of these foreign friends as landscapers and park designers incorporated some 4 million different plants, trees, shrubs and grasses, in an attempt to bring the jungles of Africa and the plains of Asia right here to central Florida! The Animal Kingdom was opened to the public on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, and has quickly grown to be a fan favorite with visitors of all ages. This unique destination combines natural splendor with state of the art attractions, show-stopping performances and exceptional retail opportunities. The Animal Kingdom is the place to experience the thrills you've come to expect from Disney, while at the same time renewing your appreciation for nature, so be sure to visit this one-of-a-kind park in your Orlando car rental soon!

The Animal Kingdom has a layout that's similar to another Disney World theme park - the Magic Kingdom. At the center of the park you'll find the gigantic Tree of Life, which serves as the park's icon and core. If you're to look closely at this 14 story tree you'll find 325 animals carved into its intricately carved silhouette! Inside the Tree of Life you'll also find a great 3D attraction entitled "It's Tough to be A Bug" starring the animated characters of Disney's "A Bugs Life". The rest of the park is divided into two separate areas: Asia and Africa. These areas offer everything from safari adventures to dinosaur encounters, so be sure to pack a camera in your Orlando car rental - you're not going to want to miss a minute of all the action!

The Africa section of the Animal Kingdom opens with a friendly village called Harambe, which is Swahili for "come together". Based on a number of great African villages, this exciting area boasts replica buildings of actual Kenyan residents and Zulu thatched huts. One of the major attractions located in the Africa section of the park is the Kilimanjaro Safari, which boldly transports you into a world full of rhinos, giraffes, zebras and a variety of other animals. Along the way you may even encounter a poacher or two, so be on the lookout! A great gorilla exhibit is also found in the Africa section of the Animal Kingdom along with the Pangan Forest Exploration Trails and the Hippo aquarium! American Car Rental Orlando Car Rental also suggests that you grab a bite to eat while in the Africa area of the park; here you'll find frozen treats, freshly baked goods and cool refreshments, perfect for a hungry explorer!

In the Asia section of the park expect the unexpected as the Kali River Rapids attempt to soak you through and through! Be sure to bring an extra change of clothes in your Orlando car rental if you plan to ride some of these crazy water attractions - you're definitely going to get a little moist! The Asia section is also home to wonderful ruins, and a beautiful Asian tiger compound, so keep your eyes peeled for these majestic creatures!

With sky-high thrills, soaking water rides and stunning animal displays, the Animal Kingdom in Orlando is really three parks in one! American Car Rental Orlando Car Rentals ranks this as a must-visit attraction and strongly encourages travelers to checkout the ultra cool Dinoland U.S.A area within the park. Here you'll take a trip back in time thanks to a prehistoric playground of mock fossils and footprints. One of the park's biggest thrill rides is also found in this section of the Animal Kingdom so come prepared to scream yourself silly!

As with all the other parks in the Orlando Disney family, expect to learn plenty during your visit to the Animal Kingdom. Entertainment and education go hand in hand at all of the Walt Disney theme parks so get ready to expand your thinking!
