'''Avengers Campus''' is a themed land at [[Disney California Adventure]] at the [[Disneyland Resort]] in Anaheim, California. Opened on June 4, 2021, it is themed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is presented as a campus established by the Avengers to recruit and train a new generation of heroes. Similar campuses were developed for other Disney resorts, with a version opening at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris in 2022.

The land stands largely on the site of A Bug's Land, which closed in 2018, together with adjacent backstage and parade-route land at the north-eastern side of the park, between [[Hollywood Land]] and [[Cars Land]].

== History ==
Disney California Adventure's first major Marvel attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout!, opened in May 2017 in a reworking of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror building. Plans for a broader Marvel land on the A Bug's Land site were confirmed in 2018, and the name Avengers Campus was announced at the D23 Expo in 2019.

The land was originally expected to open in 2020. Construction and the park's extended closure during the COVID-19 pandemic delayed completion, and Disney California Adventure itself did not reopen until April 2021. Avengers Campus followed a few weeks later, on June 4, 2021. A planned expansion, announced in 2024, is intended to roughly double the land's size and add two further attractions, Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab.

== Design and theme ==
Unlike lands set in a single fictional place, the campus is presented as a collection of facilities belonging to different Marvel organisations sharing one site. Its architecture combines repurposed industrial buildings, representing an earlier Stark Industries plant, with newer structures. The central Avengers Headquarters building, topped by a Quinjet, serves as a stage for stunt performances involving characters including Black Panther, Black Widow and Captain America. Nearby, the Ancient Sanctum hosts a Doctor Strange show using projection and stage effects.

Character appearances are a central part of the land's operation and rotate with current Marvel film and television releases. A Spider-Man figure performs a swinging stunt above the WEB building, using a robotic figure for the aerial portion of the sequence.

== Attractions ==
'''WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure''' is an interactive dark ride housed in the Worldwide Engineering Brigade building. Riders wear 3D glasses and use hand gestures, tracked by the ride system, to fire webs at escaped Spider-Bots. Tom Holland appears as Peter Parker in the pre-show and ride film. The attraction has no height requirement.

'''Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout!''' predates the land but was incorporated into it. Riders enter the Collector's fortress and join Rocket in freeing the Guardians, in a drop ride using the former Tower of Terror structure with new scenes and music.

== Dining and shops ==
Pym Test Kitchen, themed to ''Ant-Man'' films, serves food presented at exaggerated large or small scales, with an adjoining Pym Tasting Lab bar. The Shawarma Palace cart references a scene in ''The Avengers'' (2012), and a Terran Treats cart stands near Mission: Breakout!. Shops include WEB Suppliers and the Campus Supply Pod.
