Disney Animal Kingdom Map 2024 in PDF and Printable Formats

Animal Kingdom is the largest park at Disney World. It’s about 500 acres long. You will walk about 2.5 miles if you follow all the paths and trails in the park. It’s a huge area to walk through and without a map of Animal Kingdom, you will waste a lot of time walking in the wrong direction and visiting areas you or your family have no interest in.

Some parts of the park have winding paths, like Discovery Island and Asia. This makes those areas hard to navigate. The park so large, there are guided tours available to help park-goers find their way around easily!

Having a map also allows you to see a lot of shortcuts you can take in the park, which will save you time and energy. On the map, all the transportation options are clearly marked so you can easily know where to get on and off the different transportation options. 

If you have kids, to increase the anticipation for your trip and get them even more excited is to print the map, one for each kid and have them mark out what they would like to see.

Once you have pre-planned where you want to go and what you want to see you will have more freedom to explore the park at your own pace instead of rushing around and getting hot and frustrated!
