Swiss Family Treehouse is an attraction at several of the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. It was re-opened as Tarzan's Treehouse at Disneyland and opened under the name at Hong Kong Disneyland. The walk-through attraction is centered around a giant treehouse where children can hear and see various scenes based on the Disney movie Swiss Family Robinson.
Almost two years after the film Swiss Family Robinson was released to theaters, Disneyland introduced the Swiss Family Treehouse to Adventureland. The attraction opened on November 18, 1962.[1]
When the Magic Kingdom opened at Walt Disney World on October 1, 1971, the Swiss Family Treehouse was one of the original attractions of Adventureland.[2] Similarly, when Tokyo Disneyland opened on April 15, 1983 and Disneyland Resort Paris opened as Euro Disneyland on April 12, 1992, the Swiss Family Treehouse was part of Adventureland. All three parks retain the original theme. The Paris version is called La Cabane Des Robinsons in French.
In February 1999, Disneyland closed the Swiss Family Treehouse, and Imagineers re-themed the attraction to coincide with the soon to be released Tarzan film. The giant artificial tree received a massive makeover, including thousands of replacement vinyl leaves and a new suspension bridge entrance from a new neighboring tree. On June 23, 1999, Tarzan’s Treehouse began welcoming park guests, just as Disney’s animated Tarzan premiered in movie theaters. The attraction also included new hands-on interactivity.[3]
When Hong Kong Disneyland opened on September 12, 2005 it included Tarzan’s Treehouse built on Tarzan’s Island which is encircled by the Jungle Cruise.
