Swiss Family Treehouse

One of my favorite attractions at magic kingdom because it’s one of the original attractions from when it first opened. If you’re a big fan of swiss family robinson movie then this is perfect for you. Although the tree is not real, it is still fun going through and seeing the different rooms, the view from the top is wonderful, it’s not crowded either and there is no stupid strollers in the way which is a bonus!

This is a walk-​thru attraction, which is a little different than most of the other attractions at Magic Kingdom. I’ve always liked the design, and the imagination of being stranded on an island. I do wish there were more rooms/​areas to look at though, but I guess you are limited to what’s in the book. Still a fun diversion.

The tree house is a neat little walk through attraction. It’s pretty much like a long line. Disney is very good a designing lines and experiences tailored to the attraction. This one has stairs that get you pretty high to look over The Magic Kingdom. I really enjoy the views, other than that, it can be a little of a letdown. It’s kind of like waiting in a line for a ride and never getting on the ride.

I may have liked this more than most. I loved this movie as a kid, so that was part of the appeal to me. I like that it is what it is. Nothing more, nothing less. A simple walk through of the tree is nice, even if not real. There was a great view at one point of the castle, and because of kids, everyone moved at a slow enough pace to appreciate each room.

Cool! We were here in November 2014 and it is as Cool as when I was a Teenager! This is a DreamTreeHouse as long as there is an Internet Connection and the weather is as mild as it was in November!
Air Roots
As a Kid I thought the «fake» Pillars supporting Branches were such a farce… Seems I was Wrong Ficus (Fig) Banyan Style are fast growing if the humid Tropics (a perfect environment for the development of «air roots» which quickly become Pillar «Trunks» when hitting the ground!
After getting home I watched the «Disney Movie» that inspired the building of this Structure! I recognized a lot of it! Pretty Cool!

Swiss house 10 min wait
Not impressive and not a real tree. Save your steps and skip it

It’s not a real tree! Sadness!
Very cool though — so much attention to detail! You also get a little workout while you climb up and down the stairs. The best part is that due to the stairs, this attraction is stroller-​free! Hooray.

The Swiss Family Treehouse is really neat.
While strolling around the Magic Kingdom I noticed this attraction. On my last trip I must have missed it, but there was no wait so off we went. despite there being no listed wait, we were slightly delayed by the pace of those in front of us, but it was worth the trip.
Built into a giant fake tree, this treehouse is designed based on the book we all were likely to have read as children. The attention to detail was very impressive. I particularly liked the working water transport system that brought water from ground level and brought it throughout the treehouse. There were also bedrooms, a dining area and a library.
This attraction does have a lot of stairs so keep that in mind. At the highest point we were well above ground level and had a great view of the park goers wandering around the park.
My kids loved walking around this treehouse and i really enjoyed imagining living in such a place. if you’re a fan of the book, or just want a break from the traditional activities at Disney, I encourage you to check this out.

This treehouse is very cool, the only problem I found was when we went, there was a line. So I went over to the exit path, because I didn’t want to wait that long. So I didn’t get to go up. So go when there is no line.

Most tourists skip over the Treehouse during their visit to Walt Disney World. There’s hardly ever a line because if there’s one thing fat American tourists hate, it’s exercise. To tour the treehouse, you obviously have to climb up and down a lot of stairs. It’s fun and worth it, especially if you are a Swiss Family Robinson fan or you like to pretend what it would be like to live in your very own treetop house! The rooms are roped off so you can’t hang out in the kitchen or swing on the hammock bed, but it’s still cool. The attention to detail is amazing and it’s hard to believe the tree is fake. It is worth taking the climb just for the view from the top. I’d recommend going when it gets dark because the treehouse is beautifully lit and looks more realistic at night.

Hey, it’s a treehouse. Personally, I love the movie and have always loved this attraction. But unless you go when it’s near to empty, you will constantly feel rushed. And, unfortunately, there’s not really room to stop and let those behind you go ahead. And that sucks because this attraction deserves a slow, meandering pace.
When you do go, definitely try to go at night. This is a well-​lit attraction and the views of the castle and rest of the park are breath-​taking at night when everything is all lit up.

It’s a classic, and there’s hardly ever a wait. Worth doing once during your visit, but I’m not sure it’s anything to write home about if you have seen it before.
I am sure kids love it, and first timers too. I just wasn’t as wowed as I thought I would be I guess.

Another Disney classic, but I have to tell you it isn’t my favorite. Great attraction for kids (I loved it the first time I went through, though it really is better for the kids) and the line moves quickly. It’s kind of like a mini-​treehouse museum rather than a real ride or attraction, but it’s cute-​especially if you’ve seen the movie.
I’m imagining most of the little kids who make the climb probably haven’t even seen the 50+ year old movie so for us adults who have it might take a little explaining. The view from the top of the treehouse is really amazing and even if the kids haven’t seen the movie, they’ll enjoy this attraction.

We loved the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. One of the few attractions without a very long wait. I imagine during the summer would also offer quite a bit of shade from the sun. This attraction was very well done and even enjoyable for a little kids ages 4 and 5. The line moves fast!
You will have to leave strollers at the entrance. Open to all ages and sizes. You do have to climb stairs as well.

An immersive recreation of the Swiss Family Robinsons treehouse.
You can walk around to the very top of the treehouse and peer at all their stuff hidden around. It’s kind of like a museum though, and you can’t really touch anything or interact with any of their things — they have screens and barriers to keep people out. I found it a little one dimensional and crowded.

I absolutely adore the Treehouse. It is one of my fondest memories from my very first visit to the Magic Kingdom when I was a kid. It took my parents forever to drag me out of that Treehouse! =) I am sure your kids will love it just as much and if you’ve never seen it before, you must go up into it with them. It’s really cool to wander up and down the different levels and look into and around all the «rooms.» As someone else said, it does get really crowded, so if you have small ones, you may want to hold their hand so they don’t accidentally get knocked over by a bigger kid running up and down the stairs.
This is a Magic Kingdom «must-​do» whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart.

Another Disney classic. We really enjoyed this attraction, especially getting some exercise along the way.

They did a wonderful job recreating this tree. You walk up and down steps to each level, looking in to each room (bedrooms, dining room, library) and then you walk past the «kitchen.» They have a device like in the movie that brings water up from the creek below.
It does get crowded on the small stairs and walk-​ways, and it’s bad when you have people stopping in the middle, or kids running up and down stairs.

Swiss Family Treehouse is an attraction that features at several Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The remaining versions based on the original are located at Magic Kingdom Park, Tokyo Disneyland and at Disneyland Park in Disneyland Paris.
The walk-​through attraction is centered around a giant treehouse where everyone can hear and see various scenes based on the Disney movie Swiss Family Robinson.
Before he wrote the book called Swiss Family Robinson, Johann Wyss and his kids imagined what it would be like if they were stranded on an island. So together, they came up with lots of crazy adventures for the Robinsons. Almost two years after the Disney film Swiss Family Robinson was released to theaters, in 1960, Disneyland introduced the Swiss Family Treehouse to Adventureland.
When the Magic Kingdom opened at Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1971, the Swiss Family Treehouse was one of the original attractions of Adventureland. The tree, while intended to look real, is actually made up of steel, concrete, and stucco, stretching 60 feet (18 m) tall and 90 feet (27 m) wide. Yet, it looks exactly like the one in the movie.
