The "Affection Section" is where young and old alike have an opportunity to interact with the animals. At first, they appear to be the usual petting zoo variety of animals, but you'll discover that they are exotic breeds of sheep, goats, deer, pigs, etc.

Of course, all of this "hands-on" play means that little fingers must be washed. There's a cute elephant fountain nearby that will accomplish this task and bring a smile.

Enjoy this delightful upclose and personal animal encounter with goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, llamas and more. This is Disney's Animal Kingdom Petting Zoo

Watch for special guest appearances by some of the park's friendlier animals.

This is a great way to help little ones begin to "open their eyes to the world around them."

For the animals comfort and safety, no flash photography...please.
