About The Boneyard Dig Site

The Boneyard is a would-be paleontologist’s dream. Kids can wander through multi-level mazes, slide down covered slides, climb giant rocks and dig for “fossils.” There's even a Jeep® for make-believe driving!

Even with all the other wonderful shows and attractions, the Boneyard is an Animal Kingdom favorite of many kids. If you don’t set a time limit, you may find yourself watching the kiddos play here for hours. It can get VERY hot in the Boneyard, so make sure everyone stays hydrated and takes a few breaks in the shade. Bring an extra set of clothing for youngsters who enjoy playing in the water.

The Boneyard is a large play area that covers a half acre with lots of nooks and crannies that make losing sight of the kiddos very easy.

Tad and Lily love this play area especially the archeological dig site where they can excavate “fossils” from Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Woolly Mammoth. We parents love this section, too; there’s a shaded seating area with fans and music. It’s the only play area in the park, and it’s a surefire way to brighten their mood.

The Boneyard is a dinosaur-themed playground in DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The floor is cushiony soft and there are lots of attending Cast Members for safety. The archeological dig site is shaded with a special, no-stick sand. It also has a seating area with large fans and music so adults can relax while the kids play.

Guests may remain in their wheelchair, motorized scooter or ECV to experience the attraction.
