Closing Date for It’s Tough to be a Bug at Animal Kingdom

February 3, 2025

As most know, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a makeover which means certain areas will close. A few weeks back, Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama closed permanently and construction has begun on new attractions and such that were previously announced. Also previously announced was the closing of It’s Tough to be a Bug inside the Tree of Life.

Earlier today a closing date was announced for this long running show. March 17th, It’s Tough to be a Bug will be permanently closed. Which means you’ll have until March 16th to see it one last time. Zootopia: Better Zoogether is going in its place and will open sometime in Winter 2025.

Stay tuned for more updates as we see them!
