Discovery Island

On Discovery Island, guests will find themselves “in the midst of a celebration of winter, hand-crafted by the eclectic community of artists who make the island their home.” During the day, guests will encounter a “holiday gathering of winter animals, realized in the form of life-size, artisan-sculpted puppets. Reindeer, foxes, polar bears, penguins and more” will interact with guests who will also enjoy performances by serenading musicians for festive fun.
