Most of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was filmed in Hawaii, with additional work done in Georgia, USA. The production used real jungles, beaches, and a few city and school locations to create the game world feel.

Main filming locations

  • The jungle world of Jumanji was primarily shot on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, especially around the lush landscapes of Kualoa Ranch, often called “Jurassic Valley” for its dramatic mountains and valleys.
  • Other Oahu spots used for jungle and adventure scenes include Heʻeia State Park, Waimea Valley (near Waimea Falls), Nuuanu jungle areas, and beaches around Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay.
  • Waterfall and river moments were filmed around Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, giving the movie some of its most recognizable dramatic vistas.

Non‑jungle and school scenes

  • Many non-jungle scenes were shot in and around Atlanta, Georgia, including at Atlanta Metro Studios for interiors and soundstage work.
  • The exterior of Alex’s house is a real home at 1646 Friar Tuck Road NE in Atlanta, while the exterior of Brantford High School was filmed at Westlake High School, 2400 Union Rd SW, also in Georgia.
  • Some city and suburban moments (before the characters enter the game) were also captured around Honolulu, Hawaii.

Quick forum-style scoop

  • Movie fans on blogs and forums often point out that the film reuses many iconic Oahu backdrops also seen in productions like Jurassic Park and Lost , which adds a familiar “adventure cinema” look.
  • Travel and Hawaii-focused sites regularly map out these spots so visitors can tour the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle locations in person, especially Kualoa Ranch and Waimea Valley.

TL;DR: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was filmed mainly on Oahu (Kualoa Ranch, Heʻeia State Park, Waimea Valley, Turtle Bay areas) in Hawaii, with additional scenes and school/house exteriors done around Atlanta, Georgia and studio work at Atlanta Metro Studios.
