Officially opened to the public December 20, 2023, Zootopia at Shanghai Disney Resort is the first-ever Zootopia-inspired area to come to a Disney Park. Based on the Academy Award-winning 2016 animated film by Walt Disney Animation Studios, here’s everything guests can do while visiting:

The flagship attraction of the land, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, turns guests into rookie police officers at the Zootopia Police Department. The attraction features a trackless ride system that’ll take you through the animal city in preparation for a Zootopia Day concert featuring Gazelle. Along the way, guests will encounter audio-animatronics of characters like Officer Clawhauser, Chief Bogo, and Gazelle.

Everywhere you turn, there are interactive elements, easter eggs, and characters to enjoy. At the Grand Pangolin Arms Apartments, guests can trigger responses from Zootopia’s resident wolves by saying things like “Howl-o” and “Howl ya doing today.” In the words of Nick Wilde, What is it with wolves and the howling?

Jumbeaux’s Café, inspired by an ice cream parlor owned by Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. in the film, is a whimsical café where you can find things like donuts, pies, and ice cream. At Zootopia Market, parked on the streets of Zootopia, you’ll find four shacks: Slothful Slurps, Hopps Family Farm, Cottonball Candy cart and Jumbeaux’s pop-up cart. Here, you can find a variety of grab-and-go snacks and drinks, including the iconic Zootopia Pawpsicle.
