Readers' rating:

Charming and relaxing to explore. - Kevin Crossman

It's a nice walk but don't expect anything amazing from it. It sure isn't anything to really remember about Animal Kingdom. 5/10 - D H

Great way to escape the crowds and take a stroll to see animals and the Tree of Life. - Mostly Anonymous

I love Animal Kingdom and think it is a near perfect mix of theme park and Zoo. There is a wealth of exploring to do and many hidden treasures, such as the Discovery Island Trails and the Oasis area. We spent about an hour before closing just touring through these areas with almost no one else around. I wish more people would take time to immerse themselves in the wonders of this park. Sadly, most people just ride rides and bolt, never really understanding that DAK is all about exploration. *Sigh* The limited attention span of the public is always a problem. - James Rao

Nice trail where you can get great close up views of the Tree of Life. We didn't see many animals on our visit other than kangaroos, but it really worth the short walk round just for the views of the different features of the tree. - Emily G
