Kali River Rapids at the Animal Kingdom Theme Park

On Kali River Rapids, guests ride in twelve-passenger rubber rafts and slide down a raging and winding river through the heart of Asia. The trip includes some turbulent rapids and even a small drop down a waterfall. The ride also contains some of the most beautiful landscaping and theming in Walt Disney World.

Note: If you are carrying items that aren't waterproof, you may want to store them in lockers or leave them with someone not riding the attraction. There is a storage compartment in the center of the raft that keeps items mostly dry, but they still get a little damp.

There is a 38" minimum height requirement.

ages 5-10: This ride is a lot of fun for kids, especially those who enjoy getting soaked.

ages 11-15: While the ride is fairly tame, most pre-teens and teens enjoy Kali River Rapids.

ages 16-adult: The landscaping and beautiful theming of the attraction is probably of more interest to adults than the ride itself, which is fairly tame.
