The Oasis Exhibits Fun Facts

Did you know?

  • The Oasis Exhibits are the first attraction guests will encounter upon entering the Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World. They are located in the park’s “Oasis” section.
  • The Oasis Exhibits consist of a series of trails in a lush setting. Along the trails, guests will encounter waterfalls, streams, rock tunnels, flora, fauna, anteaters, black swans, macaws, exotic boars, iguana, barking deer, wallaby, and spoonbills. Signs are posted along the trails to help you identify the animals. The animals here are small and understated compared to those you will encounter elsewhere in the park.
  • The Oasis Exhibits are rarely congested. Imagineers envisioned this area as a way to transition guests into the Animal Kingdom, but, in practice, most guests skip the trails and journey to the rest of the park.

Top 5 Tips for The Oasis Exhibits

  • The animals at The Oasis Exhibits often are often difficult to locate among the vegetation, so you may need to wait and look closely to see the critters.
  • The Oasis Exhibits usually close up to an hour after the rest of the Animal Kingdom, so consider visiting prior to exiting the park if you miss the trails upon entering.
  • Take some photos.
  • Take your time along the trails.
  • The Oasis Exhibits are appropriate for guests of all ages.
