About Conservation Station® Attraction

Conservation Station gives guests a behind-the-scenes look at the animals and inner-workings of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The facility includes a rehabilitation area for injured animals, a nursery for newborns and several other educational experiences. Vets and other experts will be there to give demonstrations and explain the care, research and food preparation that are part of the day-to-day activities at the park.

When you take into account the time it takes to board and ride the Wildlife Express Train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, then the time it takes to return, experiencing Conservation Station can easily eat up 1 ½ hours. It pays to be inquisitive at this attraction; you can find out the most interesting information by grilling the attending experts.

Tad and Lily enjoy seeing the newborn critters in their incubators and watching the vets work with injured animals in the rehabilitation area. It’s a nice place to cool off after petting the animals at Affection Section next door. If the park is particularly crowded, we may skip it though.

Conservation Station is located in Rafiki’s Planet Watch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and is only accessible by the Wildlife Express Train from Harambe, Africa. The attraction is self-guided so you can take as much or as little time as you like. To see everything Conservation Station has to offer, expect to spend at least 20 minutes.
