Disney's Animal Kingdom to Permanently Close The Boneyard Play Area
Big changes are on the horizon for Disney's Animal Kingdom as The Boneyard, the beloved dinosaur-themed play area in DinoLand U.S.A., is officially set to close. Disney has announced that this family-friendly attraction will welcome its final guests on July 1, 2025. A longtime favorite among younger visitors, The Boneyard offered a shaded, interactive space where kids could climb, slide, and dig for 'fossils' in a play excavation site. Designed to resemble a working paleontological dig, the area was both entertaining and educational, allowing children to explore in a hands-on environment while parents took a break in the surrounding shaded seating areas. The closure of The Boneyard marks another significant step in the evolution of DinoLand U.S.A., which is expected to undergo a major transformation in the coming years. During the 2023 Destination D23 event, Disney teased potential plans to reimagine the land with new experiences inspired by Encanto and Indiana Jones. While official details have not yet been confirmed, fans are eagerly speculating about what's next for this corner of the park. Guests hoping to experience The Boneyard one last time still have a few weeks to do so before its July 1 closure. As always, Disney encourages visitors to check the official Walt Disney World website or app for the most up-to-date information. Stay tuned for further announcements about what's coming next to Disney's Animal Kingdom Clint Gamache is the owner of ThrillGeek.
