Shrunken Ned's Junior Jungle Boats

These coin operated, remote control vessels are located right outside of the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland. Shrunken Ned's Junior Jungle Boats is one of the few Magic Kingdom attractions that requires a fee separate from park admission. Aspiring captains can shell out a couple of bucks to gain remote control of a small boat for a few minutes. The pond in which the boats move has intriguing obstacles like tikis and elephants, and each ship is commanded via an authentic-looking ship's wheel and throttle. Kids of all ages are bound to want to try their hands at piloting one of Shrunken Ned's boats, and they'll likely enjoy this simple but fun interactive experience. Note that controlling these boats with any degree of precision may be a challenge. For a few quarters, you get several minutes of fun trying to navigate your own launch in and around the tiki god statues and spears strewn about a small pond.

Touring Tips

• This attraction seldom reaches its capacity of 16 skippers, but do not be surprised if not all the boats are operational. If you pay to use a boat that fails to work, let the nearest cast member (probably at the Jungle Cruise) know, and he or she can help.
• Costs 2 tokens. Nearby machines sell tokens for $1 each or $5 for 6 tokens. Only $1 and $5 bills are accepted.
• From the entrance head down Main Street to the castle. Take the first left leading past the Crystal Palace Resturant and continue on to Adventureland. Follow the path till past the Swiss Family Treehouse and go left on a path on the left leading down to this attraction.
