Step beyond the jungles of imagination into Adventureland, a lush, exotic land inspired by early 20th-century exploration and the thrill of discovery.
Here, tropical vegetation, ancient ruins, and rhythmic drumbeats surround you as you travel through the spirit of adventure that Walt Disney dreamed of bringing to life—“a wonderland of nature’s own design.”
Attractions
- Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye (H46) (LL Multi) – Climb aboard a rugged troop transport vehicle and journey deep inside an ancient temple filled with booby traps, collapsing bridges, and supernatural surprises.

Ambiance & History
When Disneyland Park opened in 1955, Adventureland was envisioned as an “exotic tropical place” inspired by Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventure nature documentaries. Originally limited to the Jungle Cruise, the land grew over the decades to include new icons like the Tiki Room (1963) and Indiana Jones Adventure (1995), both defining moments in Disney attraction history.
The lush foliage, tribal theming, and rhythmic background music are all part of the carefully crafted illusion—a journey through the remote corners of the world that never were, but always should have been. At night, Adventureland becomes even more atmospheric, with flickering torches and echoing animal calls immersing you in the mystery of the jungle.
Disneyland Park Layout
Adventureland is typically the first land guests reach on the left side of the hub after walking up Main Street, U.S.A. It serves as one of the primary gateways toward the Rivers of America side of the park.
Adventureland is connected to:
- Main Street, U.S.A. via the hub entrance
- New Orleans Square, as you continue deeper toward the riverside area
