Swiss Family Treehouse


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

Walk through the home of the shipwrecked family from the Disney classic “Swiss Family Robinson.” The branches of the huge (and very fake) banyan tree, known as “Disneyodendron eximus,” cradle the family’s heirlooms and contraptions. The treehouse has multiple levels that you need to climb. Thus, this attraction is not wheelchair or stroller accessible, and it can be tiring for some. The line of guests winds through slowly. Alex’s KidTip: “You’ll love the inventions in the treehouse!”

What PassPorter Readers Think of Swiss Family Treehouse (47 comments):

Lots of stairs, but fun to see at least once.

A fun walk-through, but it has a lot of stairs.
Espeon200 gave this a rating of 5 on 06/30/2016 at 2:12:54 pm EDT

It was nice to walkthrough once. Will probably do it again after the rehab. Definitely watch the movie before you go!!!
BethC gave this a rating of 7 on 06/30/2016 at 10:24:54 am EDT

Worth doing...once. It would mean more to you if you take the time to watch the Disney movie that it comes from. If climbing stairs is not a good thing for you, then grab a drink and a bench at the bottom while others in your party make the climb.

Be in shape to climb up this ride/site. It is not a must-do for us. We have done it when the kids are little, but usually avoid this ride.

I have to say we didn't enjoy this, we really didn't get exactly the reason for it honestly.
TomiRocket gave this a rating of 1 on 06/24/2016 at 12:07:20 pm EDT

There's not a whole lot to this, but it's a nice different perspective of the park. My kids wanted to live in a treehouse after we went through this.

The views from the top are great ! Love looking down on Adventureland. There is never a line
Dopey Girl gave this a rating of 4 on 06/20/2016 at 6:11:32 pm EDT

It's not a trip to Disney without walking through the treehouse. I do like the Disneyland version better.

Worth doing at least once. Reminds me of a giant ride que.
aswaffer gave this a rating of 5 on 06/19/2016 at 11:09:30 am EDT

Not even my childhood memories make me want to do this ever again. Did it with my kids once. Will probably do it with my grandkids someday if it is still there. They can reuse the space for something more modern.
MissyMouse70 gave this a rating of 1 on 06/18/2016 at 9:40:17 pm EDT

I can no longer climb, but it was great to see when I could.
JulieAnne gave this a rating of 9 on 06/18/2016 at 5:20:49 pm EDT

If you watched and enjoyed the movie , this attraction is Spot On! It is not a ride, so you do have a bit of climbing up steps , and it can be physical work. Good to see at least once, if you enjoy all the Disney Classic Movies.
JKDenn gave this a rating of 8 on 06/17/2016 at 4:00:00 pm EDT

This is an underwhelming attraction. I love the movie, but did not find this to be a good use of time. Kind of disappointing.
Princess Sleepy gave this a rating of 2 on 06/16/2016 at 10:59:16 pm EDT

I loved this movie when I was a kid so I always enjoy visiting this. But its not a must-do for us every trip. Once in a while is good!

Reminds me of growing up watching Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan :)

worth a walk through.
handette gave this a rating of 6 on 06/13/2016 at 2:41:25 pm EDT

A little boring-lots of walking and stairs.
cbate717 gave this a rating of 4 on 06/13/2016 at 2:24:25 pm EDT

We had fun, and it made me want to read the book with my boys...but they were only interested in leaping around on the stairs and didn't really want to check out the details along the way. Too excited to do, do, do. They may have been more interested if they were familiar with the story.

I love the idea of this but like the Disneyland version better.

The details are fun!
dutchdisneyfamily gave this a rating of 5 on 06/11/2016 at 10:12:50 pm EDT

Love this, but I'm a sucker for vintage Disney.
Only wish Disneyland kept their tree in its original Swiss Family form.

a nice diversion
GrandmaBloemer gave this a rating of 5 on 06/10/2016 at 7:54:16 pm EDT

Must do at least once!

Interesting to walk through, but I would NOT wait to do so.

just ok
Susan Fadel gave this a rating of 5 on 06/10/2016 at 9:06:58 am EDT

Another great exploring spot for kids. Although it can be lots of fun for adults too .....a great spot to view fireworks.
Gingerk gave this a rating of 5 on 06/07/2016 at 12:08:18 pm EDT

Very neat to see and you get a great view of the castle! I enjoyed it more than the kids.
oddboysmum gave this a rating of 6 on 06/04/2016 at 8:36:22 am EDT

It was good enough to do once, but no need to revisit it.
amouse9 gave this a rating of 4 on 06/03/2016 at 1:41:30 am EDT

I wish I could give this a zero. Don't waste your time.
Zatrina gave this a rating of 1 on 06/01/2016 at 12:10:51 am EDT

This is an okay attraction. You need to do it once.
mom2three23 gave this a rating of 5 on 05/30/2016 at 8:50:50 pm EDT

This is a nice enough diversion. My kids enjoy climbing along.

Still have not figured out its magic for us.
lisasport gave this a rating of 2 on 05/30/2016 at 1:09:06 pm EDT

Everyone needs to see this at least once! Lots of climbing and allow extra time to look at all the inventions and contraptions in the exhibit.

A classic attraction, not exciting but a fun experience
Victor gave this a rating of 6 on 05/28/2016 at 9:01:12 pm EDT

Not worth the climb
lintom gave this a rating of 4 on 05/27/2016 at 11:00:56 pm EDT

Not worth the extra steps and stairs. Nothing to do but walk and look...no entertainment.

Loved doing it once
cutiepie gave this a rating of 5 on 05/27/2016 at 4:37:30 pm EDT

To like it you have to see the movie
desi1951 gave this a rating of 10 on 05/27/2016 at 3:01:18 pm EDT

Can't do the stairs.

My husband likes this one. I take a rest on a bench.

Interesting the first time, but not a "Must Do" for every trip.

A one time attraction for me.

One of those things that you just have to do while you are there.
CEK40 gave this a rating of 5 on 05/27/2016 at 9:07:04 am EDT

A surprisingly simple, low-tech adventure that still holds its own!

Very outdated.
Ms. Earson gave this a rating of 3 on 05/27/2016 at 12:17:47 am EDT

It's a fun climb once in a while - if it's not too hot!
