Underrated Attractions of Animal Kingdom

Okay, so here is the last in my little series of Disney's Underrated Attractions. Obviously, the last park is Animal Kingdom. I find this one a somewhat difficult one, because most of the rides are must do's for a lot of people and it's the walkthrough attractions that mostly get missed. But here goes!

1.  Flights of Wonder
I have to confess right now, that I have not seen Flights of Wonder since I was 6! I know... I'm ashamed, I hope to rectify that this year! However, this glorious bird show features birds from all over the world, with many different talents. This showcase is something that should not be missed. 

2. Pangani Forest Exploration Trail
This is one of the walkthrough attractions that I mentioned. This forest exploration trail houses everything from Gorillas to Hippos, Birds to Zebra. It is very vast and if you keep stopping to take it all in, it's a lovely walk. It's a great place to take lots of photos and really take in the wildlife up close. 


3. The Maharajah Jungle Trek
Similarly to the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, this is a walkthrough attraction which again houses an array of creatures for you to get up close to. This time there are bats, tigers, deer, bears, gibbons and lots more variety of bird. 










4. Rafiki's Planet Watch
Rafiki's Planet Watch can only be reached by boarding the Wildlife Express Train. You first encounter Habitat Habit where you learn about endangered creatures and how to help them. At the Conservation Station showcases conservation efforts in the Walt Disney company and there is even a live surgery that treats sick and injured animals. There is also the Affection Section which is a petting zoo with farmyard animals. This place is perfect for kids and often gets overlooked as people don't understand you have to travel by train to get there and back.










Most of the other attractions in Animal Kingdom are solid favourites. Mine are definitely Dinosaur, It's Tough to be a Bug, Expedition Everest & Kilimanjaro Safaris.
