Location
📍Animal Kingdom | Dinoland U.S.A.
The Boneyard is located in the DinoLand U.S.A. section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Nestled near attractions like TriceraTop Spin and DINOSAUR, The Boneyard is an unmissable stop for families with young adventurers.
The Experience
The Boneyard is a sprawling, interactive playground designed to capture the imagination of budding paleontologists. This immersive space is themed to resemble a real-life dinosaur dig site, complete with giant skeletal fossils, rope bridges, and plenty of climbing areas. Kids can slide, dig, and explore to their heart’s content in a safe and exciting environment.
One of the highlights is the Dig Site, where children can grab a shovel and uncover buried dinosaur bones in a sandy excavation area. The soft, sand-like material ensures clean and comfortable digging, and shaded seating areas allow parents to relax while keeping a watchful eye.
With its variety of tunnels, slides, and interactive elements, The Boneyard offers endless opportunities for imaginative play and physical activity. It’s a fantastic way to let little ones burn off energy while learning about the fascinating world of dinosaurs.
