DinoLand Wilderness Explorers Station Relocated at Animal Kingdom Following Boneyard Closure

The Wilderness Explorers station in DinoLand, U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been relocated following the closure of The Boneyard.

The Boneyard closed permanently on September 1 — the second phase of the extinction of DinoLand. Construction walls, rolling hedges, and scrim now block off most of the land, including the Wilderness Explorers kiosk. But guests can still get their DinoLand badges.

A new Wilderness Explorers station has been set up in the shade near the exit of DINOSAUR, the last remaining DinoLand attraction.

Here, guests can earn both their Fossil Badge and their Dinosaur Badge. The activities remain the same, and the Wilderness Explorers booklets have not changed.

When DinoLand, U.S.A. fully closes to become a Tropical Americas land, these badges will likely be replaced. DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus will close forever in February 2026, marking the end of DinoLand, U.S.A. Tropical Americas will open in 2027.
