    Epcot is a park made up of different countries – it can be a very educational park for both adults and children. The “countries” section is a theme park within itself, giving customers a chance to visit 11 different countries, each with their own cuisine, shops and attractions. This is well worth going around.

    The countries the park has are:

    Mexico

    Norway

    China

    Germany

    Italy

    American adventure

    Japan

    Morocco

    France

    United Kingdom

    Canada

    In these little outlet’s children and adults can learn about different foods and cultures that other countries have to offer.

    There also something for the kids to do….they can collect stamps while they are walking around the different countries (the world) once they have collected them they can then exchange these for a free poster making it more likely that the will remember more about EPCOT.

    Every ride and attraction helps to teach the audience visitors and guest’s something, whether it is about energy and the “pros” and “cons” of all energy sources as seen in Ellen Degenrees “Universe of Energy” ride, or a historical summary of Man’s achievements on Earth as depicted on the “Spaceship Earth” ride, otherwise known as the giant golf ball ride. This ride is customized for the passenger, allowing you to choose your home country via a computer onboard the ride along with an opportunity to select answers from a series of questions and then creating a future world for the passenger based on your responses.

    Overall EPCOT is an educational theme park that goes about furthering this objective in entertaining ways. Many rides are supportive on respectable goals such as conservation, respect for our environment and cultural understanding.

    The only ride which I can say I did not like very much was, “The Mission Space simulator” that was only because afterwards I felt quite sick and fuzzy headed.

    EPCOT is a great theme park, which I thought was quite a bit larger than Magic Kingdom, and one which offers their guests a truly unique experience; you might even come away learning something new about our world that we live in!
