This is one of the most popular rides in Epcot. Even within couple of hours of opening, the wait time was more than 40 minutes. I signed for fast lane for this ride, so we were able to skip the line and get to ride in about 5 minutes.
It is a ride on a boat that floats through a water pathway. It goes through several sections illustrating the development of civilization from the stone age. Then it enters a wonderful space where we got to see indoor plantation of all the fruits, vegetables, flowers, and trees we all know and eat. Finally it went thru fishery station where some of the tanks actually had farm fish.
Overall it was a nice smooth ride. Very friendly for kids. But as an adult it was okay for me.

One of my favorite rides at EPCOT. Usually not a big wait, its very nostalgic for my childhood. I know its changed over the years but it doesn't seem all that different? Anyway, just a chill ride, giving a brief overview of various biomes, then moves into various methods of farming in difficult to farm areas, finally it finishes with convergent farming and some upbeat message about the future of farming and agriculture.
It's a water/boat based ride, although not in any way 'thrilling', but if you have a fear of water and/or boats, this may not be the ride for you.
As someone who has spent years studying the history and design of Walt Disney World attractions, Living with the Land remains one of EPCOT’s most underappreciated treasures.
The gentle boat ride offers more than relaxation—it is a living classroom where science and serenity blend seamlessly. Passing through the greenhouses, you witness real agricultural research in action, from hydroponics to vertical growing systems. Few realize that some of the produce grown here is actually served in EPCOT restaurants such as Garden Grill.
The attraction perfectly captures EPCOT’s original mission: to inspire through innovation and education. The narration may be calm and soothing, but the message is forward-looking—reminding us of the vital role sustainable farming will play in our future.
Trivia for fellow enthusiasts: the greenhouses are not just for show. Behind the scenes, Disney has collaborated with NASA on plant growth experiments, and some of the techniques tested here have even informed space agriculture projects.
In short, Living with the Land is not simply a ride; it is a rare fusion of relaxation, science, and vision. A must for anyone who wants to experience the heart of EPCOT’s legacy.
