Disney World Unveils New Playgrounds at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom

Disney World is expanding its offerings for little ones with the announcement of two new interactive playgrounds designed to give little ones extra play time across the resort.

Heading to Hollywood Studios in the coming months is Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, a new outdoor playground situated right near the iconic Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Inspired by the high-octane energy of the stunt show, the play space lets kids step into the role of stunt performers and explorers with interactive play structures, a themed prop plane, a military jeep, and movie set elements. 

The last outdoor playground at Hollywood Studios was the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure. That 11,000 sqaure foot play area made guests feel like they were shrunk down to the size of an ant featuring 30-foot tall blades, a giant film slide and spiderweb cimbing nets. It closed in April 2016 to make way for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom will also have a new themed play area that will be integrated directly into Pueblo Esperanza, the lush central village of the upcoming Tropical Americas land now under construction.

Woven seamlessly into the village storyline, the space fills the void left by The Boneyard play area and will provide young explorers with hands-on ways to connect with Disney storytelling when the 11-acre land opens, Disney has announced.
