One of the last remnants of what Walt wanted for this park. Not just a way to sell toys or movie tickets. Something meant to inform and inspire. More of EPCOT should be this way. Fun and amusing yes, but informative too. Do not miss it.

An interesting look at farming and the future technology used for it.

This is a very calm and relaxing ride that takes you through different plants. I thought that this ride was astonishing as you went through a greenhouse in a boat. This ride is good for anyone.

My favorite relaxing boat ride in #Epcot

The attraction is incredible and can be learned, as it is very educational for both children and adults. The only thing that does not have the audio in other languages ​​only in English, then it is a bit unfortunate if you do not know English, do not be discouraged of what you hear, however, if you do not know English, YOU HAVE TO GO is incredible!

I have quite a few fruit trees that I have planted in my yard and found the hydroponics section to be fascinating enough to ride a second time. Even without a fast pass we were able to get to the boat fairly quickly, the line said 30 minutes, but I think it was more like 18. The front row was great for seeing the sights, but row 6 was easier to hear the commentary.

Such an educational and fun ride, what an amazing & unique experience it is to see hydroponic gardening in action, all types of fruits and vegetables being grown indoors , I loved every second of it !

Excellent ride and very educational on sustainable agriculture. This is a slow moving boat ride that has some artificial environments initially followed by actual working plant and seafood farming. Well worth the normally short wait.

As my cousin Derek refers to it, the ride with plants. A definite classic of Epcots edutainment era and roots. Although the on board cast member is long gone and the original iteration is even longer gone, its still one of my faves and a must do for every trip. Very nostalgic for me reminds me also of other Land classics-Food Rocks and Kitchen Kaberet. Anyways, so cool that 1) they harvest the food for use in the theme parks and 2) they actually still are doing active research about agriculture.

Living with the Land is a combined dark ride and greenhouse tour located within The Land pavilion which is part of Epcot theme park in Walt Disney World Resort at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is a slow-moving boat ride, which is part dark ride and part greenhouse tour.

I liked this slow and quite ride. You can hear some interesting information about the technologies of growing various garden crops. I guess, it might appeal to everybody kids and adults. At this ride you are unlikely to encounter long lines.

This is one of the more informative, educational attractions at Walt Disney World. You are immersed in the actual growing and raising of healthy food. It is also a very relaxing, slow paced ride. If you havent been on this attraction you need to take the time for it. We try to ride everytime we visit the park.

A great ride at EPCOT. Living with the Land connects people with the sources of their food in a world that is very disconnected with how food gets to the table. Great to see the innovation into what the future of farming may hold. This ride is great to sit in a boat and take in the different areas of how food is grown or raised.

I love this ride, though the video/narration is getting a bit dated. Yes, the animatronics in the beginning of the ride are a little hokey. Yet, the remainder of the ride, through the live gardens and fishery are amazing! Everyone in the boats always talk and ooh and ahh at the various edible plants and methods of growth. Its always fascinating to see what plants theyll have next, whether theyre the Carolina Reaper pepper or simple tomatoes hung from a ceiling like a tree canopy...

Informative ride, that gives you a little break from the imaginary life to show you different things Disney is doing to help contribute to a better world. I probably would never wait in the actual line for it but we always seem to just find a fast pass for it. Love when they theme it to the seasons/holidays as well, just adds a little of the Disney imagineering to the mundane.

Love this ride, very informative

Definitely more educational than thrilling, but still enjoyable, and usually quick to get in. I especially like the demonstration garden; I see something new every time.

Have you wondered where all these food at Epcot are coming from? I mean, it must be crazy amount of ingredients that they have to have handy to serve hundreds of thousands of people each and every day.For the ones who do wonder about this kind of stuff (like me), they actually show you and teach you all about it! This attraction is a slow boat ride that goes past their huge greenhouses and fish farm, showing us just how Disney World horticulturalists are innovating growing technique to help feed this planet. That’s right, they do more than just serve the restaurants within their theme parks!It was cool to see the “integrated Aquaculture” where fishes and plants help each other grow in a healthy way by providing each other nutrients through water. I thought it was a very interesting and educational ride that is so different from other attractions and rides here at World Disney World.

My favorite ride in EPCOT you all should try. Its really interesting and informative.

Came on here initially to kill time with my little girl whilst her mum and big brother went Soarin. It turned out to be one if the most interesting and surprisingly informative rides in the park. A must for anyone with even a passing interest in horticulture.

This is a great pavillion. Soarin is an A+ attraction. Great immersive simulator takes you on a flight around the world. Living with the Land is a great ride displaying technology and innovation in farming. Behind the Seeds is a backstage tour which is well worth the time and money. There is also a great food court as well as a family style character restaurant.

Informative and relaxing attraction

This ride is amazing and awesome, if you look closely next time you are on this ride, you could see a hidden Mickey. And yes, they are real. The wait times for this ride is never bad at all. The line always keeps moving. The ride is also clean and the waiting queue is really clean.

Education and fun at the same time, my entire family likes taking the calm boats through the green houses and dioramas.

Beautiful ride and the gardening is amazing. Probably boring for kids. But it is short and calm.

Learned a lot from this ride.

I took my grandson to epcot today. I was really disappointed . What happened to the main attractions. There was only 2 attractions that were even interesting. Kids today are way ahead of when we were young and I found the attractions to be very boring with the technology we have the rides could of been alot more interesting and made to look more interesting.The one ride that you took out with the dinosaurs was far better then any ride that you currently have.Soarin was still a good ride but you need to step up if we have to pay the big money to that park.The one good thing was the food and spending time with my family but it was a very costly day.

Cool but too « politic ». Glorious to pesticides and intensive food culture. Need to be more « green » !

Another of my favorite ride but it is not a thrill ride. You start traveling through the evolution of food supply for humans, especially in the United States. Then you travel through greenhouses that show the potential future if farming. Its another great quiet sanctuary away from an otherwise overcrowded park.

Great ride showcasing agriculture around the world and scientific techniques being used to increase food production.

Not the most exciting ride, but I do find it interesting. Science minded individuals may find this informative, but its not for thrill seekers. We ride this when there is relatively no wait. The first portion of the ride travels through some scenes showing various natural environments and mans use of The Land. The second part is through Disneys greenhouse area, which explains new agricultural and other food production techniques being explored. I usually look for what is new in either food type or methods. The conveyance for this ride is a boat and it is another ride to rest your feet on. We usually swing by this ride after riding Soarin, check the line wait and get on if 10 minutes or shorter. Dont speed a lot of time waiting for this ride.

This is good little ride. Little bit of educational and fun. Lot of information about growing fruits and vegetables in innovative way. They use lot of vegetables and fish grown here in restaurants inside Disney. We have done this multiple times and never gets boring. There is always long line here for some reason. I am guessing it’s because of soaring next door.

I loved this ride. Its a boat tour that starts out simple but gets interesting really quickly! You get to go through Disney greenhouse and learn about how theyve modified their growing processes to increase production and decrease the use of resources. There are also TONS of hidden Mickeys.

It’s amazing how they have everything work together. It’s one of my favorite rides. I notice something new every time I go. I highly recommend this to anyone willing to relax and learn something new!

Ever since my childhood this was in my mom’s top rides. As an adult, it was more interesting than I remembered. Worth seeing for sure.

Very interesting ride through the greenhouses.

Great boat ride. I love it and ride it every visit. I love EVERYTHING in the Land Pavilion! This place rocks!!!!

A slow boat ride. Informative and kinda interesting... but really dated. Could use a polish but overall, not bad.

Gotta love the Land Ride. It sucks they got rid of the live people speaking to you on the boat and replaced them with an automated version, but what you gonna do. Still a great ride with lots of interesting facts about fruits, vegetables and plants...

My most favorite ride at Epcot. So excited to know Disney is interested in how to grow food. It’s a nice relaxing ride as you learn how to grow your own food. I remember the ride years ago with my children and it has not changed over the years which is even more exciting. A must ride attraction when visiting Epcot.

The ride itself is not adventurous.... but what you learn from it is incredible.

I found this really hypocritical to be honest and really think it needs updating. Loved my time at the parks but were alarmed by over use of plastics everywhere. To then get lectured about looking after the planet and sustainability seemed a bit much. Would rather they just got rid of it or perhaps showed some mea culpa that were all part of the problem instead of lecture.

Fun and relaxing ride. Good AC in the indoor portions. Even on a hot day the greenhouses are comfortable. Youll always learn something new. I love that the greenhouses are updated with new plants thru the year making each trip a little different.

Love the relaxing ride and free air conditioning

Really cool setup of the greenhouse and aquaponics.

An interesting ride through greenhouses promoting conservation. You see some of the food grown for the Disney parks. The ride is fairly long and a nice break in your day of walking around Epcot and its little shade. The line can get out of control at times, I wouldnt wait more than 25 minutes for this one.

Best ride to relax on and it’s super nice when there’s no wait

Really the epitome of what Epcot is all about. Such a cool look at some behind the scenes Disney while learning a bit along the way. One of my favorite classics.

Its not a fast ride but it certainly is unique. Its a fun and educational journey through a huge green house where you get to watch many different plants/crops grow. Its a great way to teach agriculture, an extremely important topic, at the happiest place on earth.

Behind the seeds tour is very eye opening.

This relaxing boat ride is one of the best attractions at Epcot; entertaining for all ages. Plus wait times are usually not that bad.

A bit out of date and lazy; could use more interesting exhibits.

I had no idea what this attraction was but there was a FastPass for it immediately available so we took it and we jumped in line and got on the little boat. Im definitely glad that we did it. It was really cool to see all of the different types of food being grown in a very non-conventional way and learning that the park itself actually uses a lot of the vegetables that are grown there inside that building. You should definitely go and see this.

If you have no taste for science or agriculture, then this ride will only serve as an air-conditioned napping space. For those who enjoy an educational experience, this ride is pretty enjoyable. Some of the stuff they use, like the vertical gardens, are things that are now being used in personal homes. Keep in mind, the ride hasnt changed too much since 1982, and back then, this stuff was cutting edge. A lot of the techniques used here can be modified for your own garden (if you keep your eyes open and are handy), which I think is pretty neat. Overall its a nice, cool, quiet place to see some mickey shaped vegetables.

The living with the land boat ride is one of my absolute favorite attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort. I try and ride it every single time I visit Epcot. I love just getting off my feet for a while and enjoying the boat trip through the gardens.

This is one of my favorite rides, so peaceful and educational. Nostalgic for the veteran Disney-goer!

Nice experience and cool to see where some of that food that is served in the parks is grown. This is a nice ride to do when you get tired or as a break from the hot sun as it is indoors and mostly air conditioned.

Classic Disney Edutainment. It works, and Im glad any changes have kept the original bones of the ride.

I think this ride is amazing. my daughter loved it. ⚘

Literally one of the greatest rides ever. Its so educational and so aesthetically pleasing. Lines are never a problem and its always a great ride to take a break and relax.

This is one of my favorite rides at Epcot, we love going through the greenhouse, and if you really like it, the Behind the Seeds tour is worth it!

A gentle, relaxing and educational boat ride with lots of information on techniques for improving the way that we can grow the food that we eat, and more. A hidden gem amongst some of the newer, headline grabbing rides, but well worth a visit even if just to wind down before heading off elsewhere in EPCOT.

The next time you are at Epcot, head on over to The Land Pavilion and jump on a boat tour of Living with the Land. The winding waterway takes you through multiple hand-built sets that illustrate how humans have created various ways to plant and harvest food throughout the world. The boat then meanders through the Disney living laboratories greenhouses, where you can see how Disney is utilizing innovative techniques to grow and cross-breed their crops. There is also a section on fish farming, and how they are using the by-product of fish farming to fertilize plants, as well.Both of the restaurants at The Land Pavilion (Sunshine Seasons and the Garden Grill Restaurant) serve dishes created from the fruits, vegetables and fish harvested from these greenhouses. If you feel like spending a bit extra, Epcot offers a Behind The Seeds guided walking tour, as well; this hour long tour allows you to get up close and personal with the plants, fish and insects, as well as get a more in-depth explanation of their growing techniques and how you can apply them to your garden at home.Out of all of Epcots many attractions, Living with the Land is definitely my personal favorite.

Fun ride not because of Thrills but being able to see different types of plants and ways of farming plants and animals. Pretty need to think move you through a greenhouse to see all that

A wonderful boat ride through hydrophonics. A quiet place of updated greenhouses and plants.Live fishery and Greenery is Amazing.

One of two of the only old-school Epcot rides still around. It may not have the human guide on the boat anymore, but its still pretty much the same thing I remember as a kid. And its still a cool learning experience every time.Looking at all the fun and unique ways Disney is working to grow food gets me excited. And I dont know how much they still use the food grown here within the restaurants of the Land Pavilion, but they used to, which made it even more fun to learn about where your food was coming from, should you choose to eat at the Garden Grill.Its relaxing, entertaining, and educational. Those are the things I used to love about Epcot, which dont seem to be around any more.

Another great educational ride that is relaxing and a eye opener. Great for all ages.

Relaxing ride, great to get out of the heat and to see all of the plants grown on disney property. Also a great ride for spotting hidden mickeys.

Very interesting ride that explains incredible ways of using technology and innovation to live with the land, rather than from it. A botanists dream.

Love this ride. Relaxing boat ride that shows some of the different plants/fruits/vegetables that are grown on Disney Property. Neat ride for kids.

Relaxing and pretty peacefull. Good for older ones :)... but gives you some good informative ride along an artificial river with artificial forest... then natural crops and motern ways of farming. You could go here right after the Mars mission.

An interesting ride, showing you all sorts of sustainable agriculture and teaching you stuff about, well, living with the land. Its a very educational ride, but not exactly what one would call a thrill ride.

I loved this ride. Very educational, and the tour through Disneys veggie/fruit garden inspired me to start working on my own indoor and patio gardens.

Having gone on the tour 11 times now, from 1984 to 2017, I have seen the de-emphasis on this ride throughout. It really misses not have a personal tour guide on the boat, but instead a computer one...probably done as a cost-cutting measure but still a lost.

Well worth the wait!!

We jumped on this ride rather quickly while we waited for our Soarin time to arrive. We just walked right up to this ride and got a seat quickly!!!

Such a beautiful and wholesomely interesting ride. 10/10, one of my favorite rides at Disney

Nice relaxing ride that should not be missed. I do miss the live cast member that used to sit in the boat and narrate. Now, it is a prerecorded loop. I miss the personal cast member interaction.

Highly informative, slow moving tour that is centered on agriculture of the world. Theres a lot in here that is paramount to know regarding how we feed future generations that continue to grow.

Even my thrill ride only family members said it was more interesting than they expected. I loved it.

This was a cool walkthrough type attraction.

Very cool boat ride through the history of agriculture and through modern sustainability methods using a greenhouse as a showcase apparatus! Loved it!

Once you get through the kitschy history of American farming and ecosystems robots, you will be treated to a showcase of cutting edge farming techniques and technology actually used by the park to feed its patrons. Well worth the journey.

One of my favorite rides.

Sit back, relax, & enjoy the ride. Its a leisurely & educational ride youll absolutely love, especially if you are into gardening, aquaculture, or just curious about food & its origins. For example, I now understand where dragonfruit gets its name, and I have a new respect for mellon vines. :-)I would love to take the Behind the Seeds tour, but its $25 per person, and thats not in the vacation budget.

Its good to get a rest

Living with the Land has been teaching Disney patrons on agriculture and nature since 1982. Riders pile into a ten-person boat on a journey that whisks you through mock biomes with animatronic animals, massive greenhouses filled with hydroponically grown produce, an aqua farm swimming with life, and a stunning biotechnology laboratory. An educational attraction that I never miss out on when I visit EPCOT.

Interesting content, educational. Would love to hear more about the unique activities taking place on Epcot.

I enjoy opening day attractions and Living With The Land is a perfect example

My favorite amusement park ride ever. Its so soothing and peaceful, while also being intriguing and fun.

Cute boat ride that shows the history of plants and why it is important we protect the earth and try to live more responsibly.

This ride is thought-provoking. It teaches about saving the Earth and keeping it green.

Cool little boat ride where you learn about plants and living off the land.

A slow moving boat ride showcasing our living with the land. We enjoyed it.

Slow moving boat ride about plants. Its just ok. Very informative! Not too entertaining.

I love this attraction. All of the vegetables used in Disney are grown ON this ride.

So this attraction was fascinating to me because of the level of detail the imagineers put into making the scenery, and of course the animatronics for the first portion of the ride. Then the ride goes into the green house and fishery portion, which was very interesting to see. I liked this attraction, it was quite informative.

Fun ride that is filled with interesting information on the behind the scenes of Disney without paying extra. Love the gardens.

This ride was so much better than I expected! It was very interesting.

Very relaxing ride that seems to be changing a little bit each time. It is a must for anyone who is into agriculture or food science.
