The Disney Reef, a colourful, underwater-themed outdoor play area has been unveiled at Great Ormond Street Hospital in June 2018.

The Disney Reef, positioned in the heart of the hospital, was designed by Walt Disney Imagineers, in collaboration with the hospital’s dedicated Play Team and patients. It brings together special lights and sensory elements, as well as Disney favourites Mickey Mouse and Goofy, Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Hank from Finding Dory - all sculpted specifically for the Reef.

Nine patients from GOSH were also lucky enough to be part of the routine!
