Give the animals, performances and settings more room in your day. This route keeps major rides optional, includes a full meal and separates an actual rest from more sightseeing.

## The experience

Paths around the Tree of Life combine animal viewing with closer views of its sculpted setting.

 

Choose a short section or a longer look according to energy. The paths still involve walking; they do not replace a seated break.

 

See [official information for Discovery Island Trails](<https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/pt-br/attractions/animal-kingdom/discovery-island-trails/>) for participation details and current availability.
