Attractions
In the more than 45 years since Opening Day, the
number of Disneyland attractions has grown from fewer than 20 to
more than 60. Some attractions have come and gone. Many have evolved
with time and technology. A few, essentially unchanged, have
continued to entertain generations of Disneyland guests. See
what's waiting for you on your trip to Disneyland on the
attraction
page.
In Adventureland, guests can
explore a “wildly” entertaining attraction inspired by Disney’s hit
motion picture, Tarzan. Tarzan’s Treehouse is a “climb-through”
experience, which tells the story of Tarzan’s remarkable survival
and coming-of-age in the jungle. At the base of the tree, guests
find an interactive play area where his mate, Jane, has turned
salvaged belongings into playthings and musical instruments for her
jungle friends.
Autopia—a favorite DISNEYLAND attraction since the
original version debuted on opening day—features new visual show
elements, restyled car bodies and an entertaining new pre-show area.
Before their ride, guests can view a giant video screen playing
humorous animated scenes of cars discussing life’s challenges,
providing insights into the world as they see it. Wacky billboards
and unexpected “road hazards” surprise and amuse guests once they’re
on Autopia’s expanded track layout that wends through Tomorrowland
and Fantasyland. Dining
