Discovery Island Trails
Discovery Island Trails are peaceful walking paths around the Tree of Life on Discovery Island in Disney's Animal Kingdom. You walk over little wooden bridges and through cave-like tunnels, past all kinds of animals.
The concept
The paths are a self-guided walk. From lookout points you can see the animals among the trees and plants. Meanwhile, you're constantly looking at the roots and trunk of the huge tree. This lets you see the more than 300 carved animal figures up close.
The Experience
Among others, you might spot white storks, Asian small-clawed otters, red kangaroos, crowned cranes, porcupines, Galápagos tortoises, flamingos, macaws and ring-tailed lemurs. Which animals you see varies from moment to moment.

See the tree up close
The paths give you the best view of the animal figures in the Tree of Life.
Look for the otters
The Asian small-clawed otters are often busy playing. A favourite with children.
A moment of calm
Right in the middle of the park, yet still peaceful. A nice spot between two attractions.
Visitor information
There's no height requirement and you can stay in your wheelchair. You don't need to book and there's no queue.
Animals around the tree
Discovery Island Trails is a nice short walk. Combine the paths with a good look at the Tree of Life.
