Swiss Family Treehouse

Swiss Family Treehouse is a walk-through attraction at Magic Kingdom in Florida, Disneyland Park (Paris) in France and at Tokyo Disneyland in Japan. It existed at Disneyland in Anaheim but was replaced by Tarzan's Treehouse which also exists at Hong Kong Disneyland. The walk-through attraction is centered around a giant treehouse where everyone can hear and see various scenes based on the 1960 Disney film Swiss Family Robinson.

History
Before he wrote the book Swiss Family Robinson, Johann Wyss and his kids what it would be like if they were stranded on an island. So together, they came up with lots of crazy ideas adventures for the Robinsons. Almost two years after the Disney film was released to theaters, in 1960, Disneyland introduced the Swiss Family Treehouse to Adventureland.

When the Magic Kingdom opened at Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1971, the Swiss Family Treehouse was one of the original attractions of Adventureland. The tree, while intended to look real, is actually made up of steel, concrete, and stucco, stretching 60 feet (18 m) tall and 90 feet (27 m) wide. Yet, it looks exactly like the one in the movie.

Similarly, when Euro Disneyland (now called Disneyland Park) opened on April 12, 1992, it featured a version of the "Swiss Family Treehouse" located in Adventureland, named Le Cabane des Robinson.

Tokyo Disneyland also has a Swiss Family Treehouse, a late addition to the park; not opening until July 21, 1993. In 1999, the original attraction at Disneyland was closed and reopened the same year as Tarzan's Treehouse.
