Definitively an adult ride, very interesting but kind of boring for kids, don’t waste a FastPass there, the lines aren't that big anymore, use it on Soarin' instead.

I don't know that I would take a child on this ride simply because it can be boring for them, but the boat ride itself is pretty relaxing and the things you see are interesting.

Great adult ride. Always seem to miss something and need to ride it twice. So much to see. I'll take the walking "Behind the Seeds" tour next trip to see it all.

this is EPCOT, showing how todays technology will make tomorrow great big and beautiful. this is a fairly intact opening day original. even if it's too educational for you. you have to go on it at least once in your WDW visit

Very Clean Bathrooms

User ID: scvdisneyfan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/23/2005)
A nice breather from all the thrills of WDW and an informative one at that.

It was better before they changed the music. I wish they would stop doing that. They did the same thing at Spaceship Earth. They changed not only the music but the narrator. It, too, was better before the changes. When I bring my grandchildren to WDW I want to show them the same things that mesmerized me but with the changes that is sometimes impossible.

User ID: Muppet Vision 3D   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/4/2004)
Very good ride - informative, creative, and very much like the old classic Epcot rides. Reminds me of the others like Horizons, World of Motion, and the origial Imagination... A must see ride.

User ID: ridermage   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/30/2004)
Very interesting and informative! And I would recommend the behind the scenes tour as well!

User ID: Iluvwaltdis   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (4/29/2004)
Always interesting. Love the vegetation area. Only flaw... our commentator. She was sooooo boring and monotone. Talk about rehearsed.

User ID: MickeyManiac   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/23/2003)
I really got a kick out of this ride on one of our more recent trips; our tourguide had the pre-recorded dialogue completely memorized, so he mocked the robot voice all through the attraction. It's dark inside and it's slow moving; great for digestion and relaxation. You'll also find a lot of fascinating facts about plant-life and vegetation that you'd probably never knew.

User ID: chrisandginny   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/18/2003)
Belive it or not this is one of my favorites. It is very interesting and also very relaxing. It can be a bit boring for the kids though.

User ID: miamimickey72   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/30/2003)
Nice ride. Interesting to see. Relaxing.

User ID: tuni   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/6/2003)
The greenhouse with hydroponic plants where very interesting. Wish I'd been able to take the walk and get more information.

User ID: AprilDecember   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/5/2003)
The hydroponic plants remind me of Horizons. *Sniff* An interesting ride...esp. if you garden. I want the old LTTL lyrics back!

User ID: STEAMBOATWILLY   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/15/2003)
GREAT RIDE.
MUST SEE ON ALL OUR VISITS.

User ID: mdchachi   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/7/2003)
Very interesting & relaxing. I didn't think the plants were real at first. Too perfect looking.

User ID: DDMAN26   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (10/22/2002)
Relaxing, but if I want to look at plants I'll go to a greenhouse.

User ID: lvitale6   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/23/2002)
Interesting for adults.A little boring for children.

User ID: lfigment   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/30/2002)
I liked the "Listen to the Land" theme song and really miss it. A must ride however. The foodcourt is also a great place to eat lunch or snacks.

User ID: TimC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/12/2002)
I really like this ride also. The travel through the history of farming and into the new age techniques. I love it. I also like the fact that your seeing some of the food they use around the park. Very innovative.

User ID: ArnyVee   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/28/2002)
Great ride. For some reason this ride is so enjoyable to me. Not the best ride in the park, but definately a must-ride each time out.

User ID: shawnp0001   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/19/2002)
A nice relaxing ride.

User ID: Time8   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/26/2002)
I think this attraction is what EPCOT is all about.. Looking atnew things for the future. I really enjoy this attraction.


User ID: tmarrone   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/22/2002)
More EPCOT attractions should be like this; good concept, great execution. The FastPass seems out of place - EPCOT needs another "E".

User ID: 1313WEBFOOTWLK   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/21/2002)
I don't know why but this is one of my favorites. I think it's the hydrophonic gardening portion. It's just so pretty and sunny. Anyway, it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

User ID: adamf   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/13/2001)
Very relaxing, and informative boat ride. After the ride go grab your next meal at Garden grill.

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/11/2001)
I liked this ride better when it was Listen to the Land, I was partial to the old theme song. However, it is still good and i enjoy seeing that they grow some food that is actually used in the restraunts in the pavilion. A good ride if the line is fairly short, very relaxing.

User ID: kirbysloan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (11/1/2000)
6 year old wanted action! She wanted animatronics, not plants.

User ID: kirbysloan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (11/1/2000)
5 year old very interested in the greenhouses and animals. Was apprehensive in the dark areas.

User ID: kirbysloan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (11/1/2000)
I want to go back and take the Behind the Seeds walking tour.

User ID: technut   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/23/2000)
Too few people are concerned with how closely humanity is connected to the Earth. This ride shows a measure of insight in plain and simple terms. Great message.


User ID: Tink1894   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/19/2000)
It is a rather informative ride but overall I found it kind of boring.

User ID: purplern   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/19/2000)
I liked it. Educational and enjoyable.

User ID: sjdimon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/19/2000)
A nice ride with lots of good information. Like so many of you though, I too miss the song that was a part of the original version of this attraction (it's too bad that as attractions are rehabbed that they tend to lose some of the original charm that they had).

User ID: PlutoPeep   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/19/2000)
Very Cool. I liked it, you can relax while your riding,
yet still be interested at the same time! A perfect ride
for EVERYONE in your faimly. Bravo, EPCOT~


User ID: rollerstan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/19/2000)
Pretty good ride, makes me hungry always, the fish farm is cool and the all the info given.

User ID: WayneG   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/19/2000)
Love the little rainforest, prairie and farm recreations.

User ID: Coop   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/19/2000)
Very enjoyable, but the line can be long sometimes. This is one of the attractions that we do everytime while in EPCOT. Miss the old themesong also. I liked the days when every attraction at EPCOT had at least one theme song.

User ID: Sapphire   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/19/2000)
A very good idea for a ride - a look at how providing more food for the growing population of the Earth can be done while helping sustain the environment at the same time - makes for an upbeat and fascinating trip. Loved those 9-pound lemons and the fish farm!

User ID: magic19   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/17/2000)
I like this attraction a lot. There is real science, some good Disney theming, and an overall sense of optimism.

User ID: Johnboy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (4/18/2000)
I heard that it wasn't as bad as its description made it seem. It was. Slow and boring. It didn't help that my party of three were the only people in our double boat (which seated about 40-50).

User ID: ToonKirby   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/18/2000)
The dioramas of the the rainforest, desert and farmland are beautiful, and the tour of the greenhouse is very informative and even fascinating. But it is definately one of those rides that you only go on when you are parking it with visiting relatives. Why they removed the theme song is a mystery, as that seemed to be the most popular aspect of the ride!

User ID: hosewater   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/18/2000)
Great ride. Very interesting to see the greenhouses.

User ID: tweedle jason   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/18/2000)
Educationally, the most interesting pavilion at Epcot. Very well done.

User ID: delimouse   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/18/2000)
It's very interesting the first time through but it doesn't change much so I don't go on it too often.

User ID: resto   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/18/2000)
Love the greenhouse, but miss the old theme song.

User ID: ChipDale   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/18/2000)
I like the remake but miss the song from "Listen to the Land".

User ID: RPK4444   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/5/2000)
I truely beleive that this is the most imformative attraction in Epcot. See it twice because you'll miss something interesting the first time.

User ID: RPK4444   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/16/2000)
I think that this is the most informative attraction in Epcot. Plus, it has the best food court in Disney!

User ID: LaffnStock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/12/2000)
Interesting, but definitely a once-every-ten-years type of ride.

User ID: Jeremiah   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/5/2000)
Fun to sit and watch and learn.

User ID: srolandelli   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/20/2000)
Worthwhile

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/6/2000)
A very cool, relaxing attraction that has one heck of a spiel for cast members to learn! Very informative and an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how food is going to be grown in the future on a wide-spread basis.
