Earth Day is the moment when the world wraps a big symbolic hug around the bright blue world that we call home. Did you know, all the way back in 1996, two years before Animal Kingdom Opened, the Disney Channel hosted a special Earth Day for Kids?

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, come join in the fun of our annual Earth Day Celebration, as the park spends not just the day but an entire week honoring our planet and how we can all come together to create a healthier home for people and wildlife. That’s right, a whole week – April 18-24 – connecting with the magic of nature through family-friendly experiences and special offerings.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom offers an Earth Day Celebration like no other. Guests share in the spirit of wildlife conservation. Learn about animal species the Disney Conservation Fund works hard to protect. At Conservation Station, try drawing your favorite Disney characters. The Animation Experience artists guide guests step by step. Each character uses real animals for inspiration. These animals highlight incredible conservation stories supported by Disney worldwide. No better time to experience Disney Parks and Animal Kingdom than Earth Day
