In-Depth Information
• If stairs aren't an issue, climb Tarzan's Treehouse, or at least enter through
the exit and watch the kids going wild on the playground.
• Consider walking through the Indiana Jones queue at least once, even if you
aren't interested in riding; it's an impressive (if exhausting) example of

Laughing Stock comics are a fun diversion.

Big Thunder Ranch petting zoo. Explore the decor inside Miss Chris's cab-
