About

DisneyQuest

DisneyQuest was a chain of indoor interactive theme parks in the United States operated by the Disney Regional Entertainment subsidiary of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

The DisneyQuest project was designed as a way for the Disney brand to reach populations that may not have the chance to travel to its various theme park destinations. It was meant to target large cities and urban areas. Had the project continued, Disney would have constructed locations in many major cities in the United States, like Philadelphia and Baltimore. However, only two locations were built; one in Walt Disney World from June 19, 1998 to July 2, 2017 and a much shorter-lived one in Chicago from June 16, 1999 to September 3, 2001.
