Exploring Avengers Campus at Disneyland: What to Know Before You Go
Superhero training, immersive dining, and can't-miss tips from a travel advisor
If you’ve ever dreamed of slinging webs alongside Spider-Man, grabbing a shawarma in New York-style streets, or training with the Dora Milaje, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is your chance to step into the Marvel Universe. This fully immersive land blends storytelling, cutting-edge attractions, and live-action hero moments into one power-packed experience—and it’s one of the most exciting additions to Disneyland Resort in years.
Whether you're visiting with young kids, Marvel-obsessed teens, or just want to geek out with the Avengers, here's everything you need to know about planning a day at Avengers Campus.
Where Is Avengers Campus?
Avengers Campus is located inside Disney California Adventure Park, just steps from Disneyland Park. The land officially opened in 2021, taking over the space previously home to “A Bug’s Land,” and now features a sleek, high-tech aesthetic inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
You don’t need a separate ticket to enter Avengers Campus—just a valid park ticket and a park reservation for California Adventure that day.
Attractions: Heroic Adventures for All Ages
WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure
This interactive 3D ride is the star of the Campus for many families. Guests join Peter Parker and the WEB (Worldwide Engineering Brigade) team to stop rogue Spider-Bots from multiplying. The twist? You get to sling webs using just your hands—no controller needed.
What makes it great: It’s family-friendly (no height requirement), highly interactive, and different every time you ride.
Travel Advisor Tip: Use Genie+ to skip the standby line, or head there early in the day. For guests who really want to boost their score, consider purchasing the optional WEB Power Bands and add-ons.
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
While technically pre-dating Avengers Campus, this reimagined Tower of Terror fits perfectly into the superhero theming. It features Rocket Raccoon leading the charge to free the Guardians, set to classic rock music with randomized drops.
What makes it great: A thrilling, laugh-out-loud experience with six unique drop sequences.
Height requirement: 40 inches
Travel Advisor Tip: Genie+ includes this ride. It's intense but wildly fun—try riding again at night for a totally different vibe.
Live Entertainment: The Avengers Assemble in Real Time
One of the most impressive parts of Avengers Campus isn’t just the rides—it’s the spontaneous, cinematic moments happening all around you. Unlike traditional parades or shows, characters appear on rooftops, streets, and even battle scenes above the Quinjet.
Character Encounters You Might See:
Spider-Man’s acrobatic rooftop stunt show (he really flips in mid-air!)
Black Widow and Black Panther vs. Taskmaster near the Quinjet platform
Doctor Strange’s mystic arts demonstration in the Ancient Sanctum
Training with the Dora Milaje—a powerful, interactive show that blends culture and strength
Wandering meet-and-greets with Iron Man, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, and more
Travel Advisor Tip: These appearances aren’t always on the app schedule—keep your eyes open, and hang around the central areas if you're hoping to catch a heroic moment.
Dining: Eat Like an Avenger
Pym Test Kitchen (and Pym Tasting Lab)
This quick-service restaurant uses "Pym Particles" to shrink and grow foods for playful, oversized meals. Think giant pretzels, chicken sandwiches with tiny buns, and Impossible meatballs bigger than your fork.
What to try:
Not So Little Chicken Sandwich
Quantum Pretzel with beer cheese
Choco-Smash CANDY Bar (big enough to share!)
Pingo Doce soda—straight from the Hulk’s origin story
Travel Advisor Tip: Use Mobile Order early in the day to avoid long wait times. Seating can be tricky at lunch and dinner rushes.
Shawarma Palace
Yes, just like the post-battle snack in The Avengers! This cart serves up warm wraps with Middle Eastern flavors.
Shopping: Campus-Worthy Souvenirs
WEB Suppliers sells customizable Spider-Bots, WEB Power Bands, and other interactive tech.
Campus Supply Pod carries themed apparel, pins, and collectibles.
You'll also find character-specific merchandise like Iron Man gauntlets or Captain America shields throughout the park.
Travel Advisor Tip: Some items, especially limited-edition merch or interactive gear, do sell out quickly—ask a cast member if you don’t see what you’re looking for.
Is Avengers Campus Good for Kids?
Absolutely—but it’s worth knowing that only one attraction (WEB SLINGERS) has no height requirement, so younger children won’t be able to ride Mission: BREAKOUT! However, the interactivity of the land itself, from character encounters to shows and hands-on tech play, makes this area exciting for all ages.
Bonus: Characters are incredibly responsive to kids—Spider-Man and Iron Man often take time to chat or pose in character, and many families say these moments are the highlight of their trip.
Best Times to Visit Avengers Campus
Morning or late evening offers the shortest lines and best lighting for photos.
Avoid mid-afternoon if you’re looking to ride or eat—this is when the land is most congested.
Fall and winter tend to be quieter crowd-wise (outside of holiday weekends), but any time of year can be managed with smart planning and Genie+.
Travel Advisor Takeaways
Avengers Campus is not a full-day land, but it’s packed with high-energy moments and unforgettable details. Plan about 2–4 hours depending on ride wait times and dining.
Character interactions are spontaneous and feel like you’re inside a Marvel movie—great for fans who want more than static meet-and-greets.
If you have Marvel-loving teens, this might just be the thing that turns “too cool for Disney” into “this is awesome.”
