Inside DreamWorks Land

Enter a world of boundless imagination and fun at DreamWorks Land, where you can explore three themed areas inspired by DreamWorks Animation films Shrek, Trolls and Kung Fu Panda. Each offers plenty to do, from meeting favorite characters to creating your own story through play. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re passing down the classics or discovering a new favorite story.

Snack your way through the swamp, learn kung fu with Po, and rediscover the magic of imagination in a brand-new stage show. And that’s not all. This kid-approved land is packed with whimsical play areas, including multiple splash pads, playgrounds, slides and interactive elements that will delight the whole family. Throw in a reimagined roller coaster, frosty treats and more familiar faces along the way, and it’s a guaranteed good time for all ages.

Dazzling New Shows and Live Entertainment

Nothing brings movie magic to life like seeing the characters from your favorite films. At DreamWorks Land, you can sparkle with Poppy, banter with Donkey, show off your best ogre face, and even challenge Guy Diamond — aka the gassy glitter Troll — to a dance-off. Plus, catch favorite friends from Gabby’s Dollhouse, Madagascar and more DreamWorks animation films throughout the land.

For a super-concentrated dose of fun, don’t miss DreamWorks Imagination Celebration. The dynamic new stage show brings your favorite characters together and combines advanced technology, hit pop songs and high-energy dancing for an unforgettable party.

You can also learn kung fu from the Dragon Warrior himself at Po Live! Part show, part meet and greet, this interactive experience brings you face-to-screen with Po for a highly amusing lesson in the art of Zen.

Hands-on Fun for All-Day Play

Parents and kids alike will love the wealth of play areas at DreamWorks Land, from interactive games and effects to classic slides and splash pads. A healthy dose of humor is at play here, particularly in Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres. Families can laugh and play together, making one-of-a-kind memories at the following:

• King Harold’s Swamp Symphony: Step on interactive lily pads to rouse King Harold’s frog chorus and lift the land with song.
• Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres: Originally built for Shrek’s triplets, this ogre-sized playground features four slides, a wet play area, climbing areas and an outhouse-themed photo op with a fun surprise in store.
• Mama Luna’s: Trigger a feline frenzy with interactive buttons, bells, levers and maracas at this hands-on area inspired by Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
• Poppy’s Playground: Frolic and climb among colorful bugs and flowers in this Trolls-themed land for tiny tots.
• Po’s Kung Fu Training Camp: Make a splash with wet and dry activities in the Panda Village, including enormous water cannons, dump buckets, merry-go-round noodle bowls and more interactive elements.

Hitch a Ride on the New Trolls Trollercoaster

If pint-sized thrills are more your speed, join Poppy, Branch and the rest of the crew on the Trolls Trollercoaster. With a height requirement of just 36 inches, even little ones can feel victorious as they speed past evil spiders and gain a stellar view of the candy-colored land. Children under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult.

Feast Like an Ogre

Somebody once told me that you can’t debut a new land without a tasty treat or two, and DreamWorks Land delivers with plenty of intriguing options. First up is Swamp Snacks, where you can score Shrek or Donkey-shaped ice pops, Mud Puddle Pudding, or the pepperoni and cheese stuffed Far Far a Waffle. Heartier picks include the surprisingly delicious Swamp Dog and the legendary Shrekzel with green nacho cheese.

If you’re craving something sweet, Trolls Treats has you covered with colorful ice cream cones inspired by Poppy and Branch. Choose from Poppy-licious Pink (shimmering pink lemonade) or BroZone Berry (huckleberry) for a refreshing pick-me-up.

Dress the Part

You’ll find everything you need to channel your favorite characters at High Five Hideaway, from themed headbands and hats to plush toys and accessories. They’re perfect for bringing the fun home and letting your true colors shine all year long.
