I went on Epcot's Behind the Seeds Tour (and it wasn't boring)
Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot Review
I love Living with the Land at Epcot. Going through the hydroponic gardens is interesting to me and I’m not even into plants. But I never gave much thought to the Behind the Seeds Tour. You may have seen the tour desk at the exit of the boat ride through Epcot’s greenhouses.
Recently my family took me on Behind the Seeds for Father’s Day. It was more fun than I would have thought!
The tour isn’t free but it’s on the more reasonable side for Walt Disney World extras. The Behind the Seeds Tour is $35 per person and it can be booked in advance on the Disney World website.
If you’re a client of mine, I can book the tour for you as well.
Here are a few highlights from Behind the Seeds at Epcot’s The Land pavilion.
The tour desk for Behind the Seeds is located inside The Land pavilion, between Soarin’ and the exit of Living with the Land.
