Epcot for Kids: What Parents Need to Know
Epcot for Kids: What Parents Need to Know-September 2024
Sep 21, 2024 4:26 PM

So you've finally made it to Walt Disney World. You’ve got a week to spend there, but you’re not sure which parks are best for your family. We don’t blame you — Disney World is a massive series of resorts and theme parks with seemingly endless options.

Among the theme parks is Epcot, a Disney park that focuses on future technology and global culture. But is Epcot for kids? While on the surface it may seem oriented toward an older crowd, there are plenty of activities for families. Let’s take a look.

Is Epcot for kids?

The short answer to whether or not Epcot is for kids is yes — the park is a great place for kids. It’s not as obviously kid-friendly as theme parks such as the Magic Kingdom Park, but Epcot has both attractions and activities that are geared toward children.

Attractions

Is Epcot good for toddlers? How about young children? Happily, no matter their age, you’ll be able to find attractions to suit your family. Epcot has many different activities available for children of various ages, even as young as infants.

Several rides have no height requirements. These include such attractions as:

Frozen Ever After.

Gran Fiesta Tour.

Journey Into Imagination With Figment.

Living with the Land.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

Spaceship Earth.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

There are also more exciting rides that have stricter requirements, like a 3′4″ height requirement or above. Epcot rides with height requirements include:

Mission: Space.

Test Track.

Soarin’ Around the World.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (3'6" height requirement).

Since these Epcot rides are more thrilling and have some requirements, they’re good options for older kids.

Other Epcot attractions that appeal to kids of all ages include:

Shows. There's a wide variety of non-ride attractions you’ll find scattered around Epcot. At certain times during the day, shows featuring acrobatics, music or drumming take place at different World Showcase pavilions.

Meet and greets. There are also character meet and greets throughout the park, including the ever popular Frozen characters Anna and Elsa.

Aquarium. You can visit the area formerly known as Future World — now three neighborhoods called World Nature, World Discovery and World Celebration — which offers an aquarium filled with manta rays, sharks, turtles and colorful fish. It's both free and easy to access.

Fireworks. At night, Epcot’s fireworks show takes center stage. Although kids will have the best view near the water, space isn't limited and you’ll be able to see the show from most of the park.
