Before he wrote the book called Swiss Family Robinson in 1812, Johann Wyss and his kids imagined what it would be like if they were stranded on an island.

Almost two years after the Disney film Swiss Family Robinson was released to theaters, in 1960, Disneyland introduced the Swiss Family Treehouse to Adventureland.

When the Magic Kingdom opened at Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1971, the Swiss Family Treehouse was one of the original attractions of Adventureland.

The tree, while intended to look real, is actually made up of steel, concrete, and stucco, stretching 60 feet tall and 90 feet wide. Yet, it looks exactly like the one in the movie.

Similarly, when Tokyo Disneyland opened in 1983, and Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, they both featured versions of the "Swiss Family Treehouse" located in Adventureland.

The Paris version is named "La Cabane des Robinson".

Click on the Swiss Family Treehouse attraction poster! This one's a beauty, with its tropical oranges and pinks. Only five colored inks were used (along with the white of the paper), all to a stunning effect.

In early 1999, Disneyland evicted the Swiss Family from their Treehouse to make room for Tarzan.
