The fabulous Swiss Family Treehouse is one of the original Adventureland attractions. What makes it different is that it is not a ride but a self- paced walking tour. It is a magnificent reproduction of the tree house created for the Disney 1960 movieSwiss Family Robinson. This imposing 60' high man made structure was built to resemble a banyan tree. It's concrete
roots
extend 42' into the ground and its 1,400 branches hold over 300,000 polyethylene leaves. The
Spanish moss draping the branches is, however, the real thing.
To fully appreciate the treehouse, it helps to have seen the movie on which this classic Adventureland attraction is based. It tells the story of a family (the Robinsons) who are shipwrecked and use everything they can find from the wreck of their ship to build a treehouse with all the comforts of a 19th century manor house. This huge tree house has everything including bedrooms, a study, kitchen ,bathroom, and much more. The plumbing system is particularly ingenious. Even if you haven't seen the movie you will be impressed with the ingenuity and imagination that went into this ultimate treehouse . My Verdict: This Classic Adventureland attraction is well worth a look but if you are pressed for time give it a miss and save it for another visit. The Swiss Family Tree house deserves to be lingered over. Also keep in mind this tree is 60' high and requires climbing 116 steps. Caution! climbing these steps and walking is the only way you can access the treehouse. If there is a crowd, come back later. It is no fun exploring a crowded tree! The top of the tree gives a birds eye view of other Adventureland attractions such as the Jungle Cruise. Return To Adventureland
