Readers' Opinions

We got to see hippos up close! They are so graceful under water. The gorillas were amazing...the intelligence behind those eyes are so obvious. - Mark Fairleigh

A very scenic animal trail with plenty of animals and trees to block the sun. This is one of the places you can go to escape the crowds and feel like your in a quiet jungle. The gorillas are neat to watch except when they are eating their own feces. A gorilla was going through a bowel movement in plain sight and when he was done he picked up his waste and started eating it in front of everybody. It was nasty and even the Disney employee was speechless. Everybody was being grossed out. Anyway this is a nice exhibit that also features meerkats(Timon from Lion King). This exhibit doesn't really get congested so go whenever it is convenient. - Manny Barron

Well planned trail and thoroughly enjoyable. Many animals to see including Gorillas. Visited this at around 5pm on weekend in June and it wasn't too crowded. We couldn't take our ice lollys in with us which was annoying but understandable - Emily Greaves

Not as good as the Maharajah Jungle Trek, but well worth your time, especially if you like bird watching (the mesh enclosing the birds is so well hidden, you really have to be looking for it to see it is even there!). Best to walk this congested trail early, before the crowds hit. - James Rao

Not as awe-inspiring as the Jungle Trek, but worth a walk-through anyway. - Kelly Smith

The gorillas are a thrill to watch. Take your time through the trail. Pretty shady area too so that you can take a break from the sun. - P V

Very nice trail that ends near the Gorilla viewing area...great moments there if you catch them at the right time. - Wilfredo Alvelo
