Walt Disney World will add a new outdoor playground at Disney’s Hollywood Studios near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, with opening expected in the coming months.
The playground, Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, will feature interactive elements and themed play structures inspired by the stunt show. A second planned play area is part of Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
New playground plans
Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! will give children an outdoor space to explore at Hollywood Studios, with action and storytelling drawn from the neighboring stunt show.
At Animal Kingdom, a themed play area is planned for Pueblo Esperanza, the village within Tropical Americas. Opening timeframes and additional playground details will be shared later.
Indoor play at Hollywood Studios
Drawn to Wonderland is open inside The Magic of Disney Animation. The indoor playground takes inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and original concept artwork by Disney Legend Mary Blair.
Children can explore an interactive Mad Hatter tea party table and a Queen of Hearts rose garden. A special area is designed for the youngest visitors, and seating gives parents a place to relax nearby.
Magic Kingdom and EPCOT
At Magic Kingdom, Storybook Circus offers two different play stops. Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station has circus-themed water features, including spraying animals and a circus train. Families should be prepared to get wet.
Nearby, Dumbo the Flying Elephant has an indoor playground within its attraction queue. Children can climb under the big top, with adult seating nearby, before continuing to the ride.
EPCOT’s outdoor playground near Creations Shop sits between World Celebration and World Discovery, close to seating and Connections Eatery. A seasonal playground may also be available between World Nature and World Showcase during select festivals, with themes and availability varying through the year.
For indoor options, Bruce’s Shark World at SeaBase surrounds families with Finding Nemo characters and undersea details. Space Base at Mission: SPACE offers climbing and crawling in a space-themed setting, with more interactive games and activities in the Mission: SPACE Advanced Training Lab.
Playgrounds at Disney hotels
Many Disney Resort hotels have playgrounds designed for children ages 2 to 12. Depending on the location, these spaces can include swings, tunnels, slides, and soft or textured surfaces.
Righteous Reef at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort sits in the Finding Nemo courtyard. At Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, an archaeologically themed playground near the Dig Site extends the recreation area’s adventure theme.
For a park-day break, choose the play space that fits the stop: water play at Casey Jr., an indoor queue playground at Dumbo, or the currently open Drawn to Wonderland at Hollywood Studios.
