If you love Living with the Land but still want to get even more behind the scenes details about what goes on in the Land Pavilion, then the Behind the Seeds Tour in Epcot is the way to go.
I’ve been eyeing this tour for years and finally decided to go and book it once and for all, and all I can say is that I was not disappointed.
Behind the Seeds Review
Before we get started, here’s what you should expect on your tour:
- 1 hour walking tour of the fish farm and 4 greenhouses
- Sample of one of the grown fruits and vegetables
- Learn about the tastes in plant-growing techniques, including hydroponics
And now, here’s a quick review and video of my most recent experience on the tour.
You check in at this desk right near the entrance of Soarin’.
You then grab an earpiece with your tour guide and head backstage.
Our tour guide was pretty knowledgeable and gave us some pretty detailed information about the greenhouses as a whole.
During this portion you’ll walk through all four greenhouses and learn about the growing techniques as well as get a free sample of one of the vegetables to eat.
It was pretty cool to get up close with all this tech that you kinda “blow by” during Living with the Land.
I got too excited and forgot to take a picture but it was a cucumber that was grown in the greenhouse.
We then got to see the older plant there, the Black Pepper tree with Mickey Ears and got a photo.
After that we got to feed some fish, which was pretty cool.
Overall, it was a pretty cool tour that actually went by pretty quick.
Price
The Behind the Seeds tour costs $39 to $45 per person (not including tax)

Is it Worth It?
If you’re someone that enjoys behind the scenes tours or has an affinity for horticulture, then you’ll definitely enjoy this tour.
It’s not the craziest most fun tour out there, but it is a cool experience to try at least once, especially if you’ve been to Disney World countless times and want to find something new to help keep the magic fresh.
