Pym Test Kitchen at Disney California Adventure

17 March 2026 by Steve Bell Leave a Comment

Creative Marvel-themed food where the portions are anything but ordinary.

One of the most unique dining experiences at Disneyland Resort can be found inside Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. Pym Test Kitchen brings the fictional science of Ant-Man and The Wasp to life with oversized and shrunken foods inspired by the Pym Particles from the Marvel films.

Instead of a traditional restaurant menu, Pym Test Kitchen focuses on playful culinary experiments. Giant pretzels, mini sandwiches, and creative dishes designed around size-changing ingredients make this location one of the most talked-about places to eat in the park.

Location

Disney California Adventure | Avengers Campus

Pym Test Kitchen is located inside Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, across from Avengers Headquarters and near WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure.

Nearby attractions include:

• WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure
• Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
• Avengers Campus character encounters

The restaurant also shares a courtyard with Pym Tasting Lab, a bar serving specialty cocktails and beer.

Ambiance

Pym Test Kitchen is themed as a laboratory where scientists experiment with food using Pym Particle technology. Oversized condiment bottles, giant food displays, and playful visual effects reinforce the Marvel theme.

Seating includes indoor tables and a larger outdoor courtyard shared with Pym Tasting Lab. Because Avengers Campus is popular, the dining area can become busy during peak meal times.

Menu

The menu features creative dishes designed around unusual sizes.

Popular Items

• Not So Little Chicken Sandwich – a large fried chicken breast served on a small bun
• Pym-ini Sandwich – a grilled panini with sliced meats and cheese
• Impossible Spoonful – plant-based meatballs served with pasta
• Quantum Pretzel – an oversized pretzel large enough to share

The unusual presentation of these dishes reflects the Ant-Man theme, where food can be dramatically enlarged or reduced in size.

Drinks

Pym Test Kitchen’s drink menu continues the oversized-and-shrunken science-lab theme of Avengers Campus, with fun non-alcoholic creations, glowing add-ons, and a few unique alcoholic options for adults looking to relax during their visit.

• Proton Punch – A colorful lemonade-based specialty drink featuring berry purée, cherry flavor-filled boba, and a grenadine-filled pipette that guests can squeeze into the drink themselves. It’s one of the most fun and photo-worthy non-alcoholic drinks in Avengers Campus.
• Proton Potation – The alcoholic version of the Proton Punch, made with vodka, lemonade, grenadine, and cherry-flavored popping spheres. This is one of the signature adult beverages at Pym Test Kitchen and fits perfectly with the playful “lab experiment” theme.
• Beer Mimosa – A unique twist on a traditional mimosa that combines wheat ale with orange juice. It’s light, refreshing, and a surprisingly good option on warm Disneyland days.
• Topa Topa Brewing Co. Chief Peak IPA – A stronger IPA option for craft beer fans looking for something with a little more hop flavor and higher ABV.
• Kona Big Wave Golden Ale – A smooth and easy-drinking golden ale that pairs well with many of the oversized comfort-food offerings at Pym Test Kitchen.
• Sierra Nevada Sunny Little Thing – A citrus-forward wheat ale with a bright flavor profile that works especially well during Southern California afternoons.
• Glowing Pym Particle Capsules & Discs – Optional glowing novelty add-ons that light up your beverage in red or blue, adding even more fun to the Avengers Campus atmosphere, especially at night.
• Coca-Cola Freestyle Station – Pym Test Kitchen also offers a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine with numerous soda combinations, making it a convenient stop for families and picky eaters.

The nearby Pym Tasting Lab also offers specialty cocktails, beer, and other Marvel-inspired drinks that continue the Pym Particle theme.

Mobile Order

Pym Test Kitchen is a quick-service restaurant, and Mobile Order through the Disneyland app is strongly recommended.
