Another favorite Disney movie comes to life in the stage production Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends.

Lastly, your youngest family members are sure to delight in the Affection Section which features sheep, goats and other animals in a petting zoo atmosphere.
6. You'll know that you are in Dinoland USA from the minute you step into this area, walking under the amazing 40-50 foot Brachiosaurus skeleton that extends across the "Olden Gate Bridge". As you walk along the Cretaceous Trail you will be taken back into the time of the dinosaurs as you find yourself among the plants and animals from this era. In this area you will also be able to gaze upon the most complete casting ever found of the infamous Tyrannosaurus rex fossil.
