Welcome back, Nour! My family and I were just enjoying the fun at Rafiki's Planet Watch a few days ago during our week-long Disney adventure, and it's always one of my favorite spots at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park!
Don't worry about being to close to the animals there if that's not something you're comfortable with because there are plenty of benches to sit on outside of the penned
Affection Section petting area. Plus, there's the whole inside area at the
Conservation Station at Rafiki's where you can look through the glass at different animals and even see through the glass into the veterinary offices and exam rooms where at times throughout the day, the vets are checking up on the larger animals. It's pretty amazing!
My kids love interacting with the sheep, goats, and pigs in the petting area outside at Affection Section. They always grab a brush from the baskets on their way in to help gently brush these animals who enjoy being close to guests. You can send your husband in with your son to enjoy this hands-on experience while you watch over the fences just outside to still be in on the experience but from your own more comfortable distance, Nour.
Have so much fun during your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park!
