As we reported a few months ago, Disneyland announced that it would be closing Tarzan’s Treehouse in order to retheme the attraction. Over the last few weeks and months, we have seen parts of the attraction be completely dismantled and destroyed as a part of the project.

Tarzan’s Treehouse has been closed to Guests as it has been undergoing construction since September 2021, which is a longer timeframe than regular or seasonal refurbishments. Now, the ongoing closure makes sense as Disneyland officials announced today that they will reimagine Tarzan’s Treehouse in Adventureland with a new theme and backstory, but the treehouse experience isn’t going away, according to Disneyland officials.

Tarzan’s Treehouse opened in 1999 to Disney Guests as a walk-through attraction which showcases the story of Tarzan with treehouse rooms that closely resembles those from salvaged parts from a shipwreck, according to the Disneyland attraction’s backstory. Before the attraction was Tarzan’s Treehouse, it was known as Swiss Family Treehouse, which opened to Disney guests in 1962, and featured concrete roots, steel limbs and 300,000 leaves.

For a long time, a tarp hung over the construction work as a way to hide what was being done. However, several Guests noticed this tarp was removed from the attraction recently.
