Future World, Epcot Center

 


One of the two sections of Epcot Center, Future World is a place where imagination becomes reality and tomorrow is as close as a breath away. Visitors explore how advancements in technology shape the world and allow humans reach out to the stars.

Future World is divided into eight attractions. The first stop for many visitors is Spaceship Earth, which is inside the park’s spherical icon near the Epcot entrance. The slow-paced ride lasts 16 minutes and takes patrons on a trip through space and time that is suitable for all ages. It even features interactive touch screens that let guests get a glimpse of what their future selves may look like.
