Still another classic Epcot ride. Always makes me hungry after seeing all those fruits and vegetables. 7/10 - Christopher Sturniolo

An underrated ride. These plants are amazing! 8/10 - Eric Cartman

It's not a headliner by any means but it certainly is educational. - Keith Forrest

This what I think EPCOT is about: education in a dark ride form. Very good execution of this idea. Long duration too. - A. P.

If you like watching paint dry this is the one for you !!! cos all you will be doing is watching plants grow - Tom Cunningham

Not one of the better rides at Epcot, Living with the Land has two advantages. It gets you out of the heat and is a good convenient place to spend fastpass time for Soarin'. The dioramas at the start are quite interesting along with the greenhouses but it can become quite dull. Also the pre-recorded dialogue instead of the narration is a poor change as, like other reviewers have pointed out, you miss out on certain information in the greenhouses. Queue - All indoors. But don't queue for long - Mark Williams

We missed this during our first four visits - but were really suprised when we discovered it last year. As well as learning a thing or two, it was a pleasant boat ride looking at lots of interesting plants and genereally a great 5 minute chill - out ride. I recommend this ride - you will be intriguied. - Ben Price

It's okay if you love plants! I don't but it's nice and relaxing. I give it a 4/10 because it helps me pass time to get on soarin'. - D H

A surprisingly entertaining ride. The dioramas at the start are fun and well detailed. The journey through the greenhouses at the end is interesting and engaging. Sadly they got ride of the live narration and it's now pre-recorded, so you aren't always told about some of the more interesting and individual things about the greenhouses. - David Wilcock

I love seeing all the plants. The inside of the ride is good too. Do not miss. 8/10 - Dominick D

I really enjoy this ride but have to beg my sister to get on it with me. The 9 pound lemon or whatever its called is my favorite. Again, its a nice ride out of the extreme heat and is educational in a sense. I don't mind learning a few things when I come to a theme park.. esp when it involves a long boat ride. - Terri Pierce

Just something about this ride that I love. - Glenn Davis

I found it interesting and a great learning experience. It was very enjoyable. I would recommend this ride. - Laura Daspit
