Having never seen Swiss Family Robinson, I admit that the theme was a little lost on me. I did enjoy looking at the ingenious inventions and ways that this tree became a home, and it provides some nice views of Magic Kingdom. But it is definitely a lot of steps for an old, tired attraction.

For anyone who saw and enjoyed the film, this is worth checking out. They did very well with the layout and details of the tree house, making it a neat walk-through. The downside is that if you have not seen the film, this really isn't worth the look near as much.

This is really a well done attraction, and makes me think of the movie that I loved as a child...but that was a VERY LONG TIME AGO...
I can't recommend this to anyone other than families with small children who may be interested in some of the make-shift items.
Persoanlly, for me, once is enough!

I love to take my time walking through the treehouse when there is little foot traffic, preferably in the morning while everyone one else is rushing to the headliners.

While many younger children (and even those under 30) do not understand that there was even a movie called Swiss Family Robinson, this attraction serves as a reminder of the original, detailed, ideas of Imagineers when the park was first open. The attraction is a nice walk-through reminder (for those who are able to climb many stairs) of what Disney's attractions used to be with a lot of details but with a rather simplistic way of delivering the story.

This attraction is walk-through and it's a good way to get out of the sun and into the shade. Younger kids may get bored if your tour takes too long, but it is amazingly accurate to the tree house portrayed in the movie. Good to visit if you have the time.

A lot of fun things are in this tree house! Go see it while you are there. The walk through can be quick if a lot of people are there that day. You may need to go through several times to see everything.

I just wish they would rework this ride to incorporae Tarzan's family living in a tree after their shipwreck. That way, we could get some of that Tarzan music back in circulation. I just love that music, and miss it a ton since Tarzan Rocks is gone.

Loved the book, so it's fun to see the treehouse. The stairs are NOT for the faint of heart, though, it can be a brutal climb, particularly if you've been on your feet for a few days. The pictures from the top can be amazing, though, great vantage!

There's not much point, but it's not a ride either. Very young kids will have fun. We walked through on first trip and never went back on next two.

Even though this isn't the most exciting attraction in a park, I have to admit I would probably miss it if it was gone. It is a classic that offers a great view as you go through it. If you go when there isn't a line in there(there usually is never a line) Take your time to look at some of the detail in this attraction. You should defiantly do this once, most people that's all they would do. But it is a nice escape from the crowds sometimes

It always amazes me that we actually put ourselves through the workout to get up the steps to the top of this thing. I enjoy the view & there are some hidden Mickey's up there to find. Hard to get behind slow moving people on this one & stay motivated.

This gets some bad reviews but it will always be one that we will do each trip. The film has always been one of my favorite live-action Disney movies and this attraction reminds me of my first trip as a child many years ago. I hope they never replace it!

Our 8 year old thought it was really cool to see how people could live in a tree house. It was nice to be able to let the kids loose a little bit, they can stretch their legs, and not have to wait in a line.

The only good thing about the tree house is the view from the top.. I have gotten many great pictures up there.
Other than that all you do is walk through it.

This tired attraction is really showing it's age. In today's ever more crowded parks however it's a great place to escape from the crowds, except for the fact that everyone else seems to rush through as if it's just a queue line for something better at the end. Take the time to really look at the attraction and appreciate all of the classic Disney Imagineering that went into it. Recommended only for serious Disney geeks (like me)

high for people who don't like heights...and now with my new knees, I can't climb all of the stairs real well
|

This is a very imaginative attraction, and it is fun to climb and see the rooms in the tree, and how they managed to get water to the tree top. I used to be afraid because it is HIGH, so if you don't like heights, it may not be for you. You have to be able to climb stair..so no handicap people can enjoy it, and with my two new knees, I am really really slow at climbing. Be careful with toddlers also...they tend to become very excited and want to run ahead!
