Rafiki’s Planet is scheduled to close up tomorrow and you will have to wait until Spring of 2019 to be able to check it out again. It was previously reported that it was going away for good however, Disney announced they are keeping it around. It will take a little break and hopefully come back in the spring bigger and better than before. Maybe Rafaki needs a little vacation? What are your thoughts on this closure? Is it an attraction you can live without at Animal Kingdom. I know my children loved this interactive experience and will miss it if it doesn’t come back!
Accessible by the Wildlife Express Train, Conservation Station is located at Rafiki’s Planet Watch. Enjoy an in-depth look at animal habitats from around the globe and discover the expert care our park animals receive.
