The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is here! From beautiful topiaries to outdoor kitchens and even limited-time experiences, there’s something for everyone, especially families with little ones. Don’t miss out on any of these kid-favorite experiences.
1. Camp Get Out ‘N’ Play Garden Presented by OFF!
On the edge of World Discovery near Creations Shop and Test Track presented by Chevrolet, Camp Get Out ‘N’ Play Presented by OFF! is a camp-themed garden where little ones can play and explore, and parents can grab a seat and enjoy a little shade. This is a great spot for kids aged two to six, with a variety of play options from climbing obstacles to spring riders to a padded grass area – all perfect for running around and getting the wiggles out!
Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon was a big hit with the kids!
The play garden is just the right size to allow kids to move their bodies, stretch their legs, socialize, and let adults keep an eye on their little ones no matter where they are in the space. Plus, parents and kids will enjoy learning different ways they can bring the camping experience to their own backyard on signs placed throughout the play garden.
2. Butterfly Landing Presented by AdventHealth
Another must-do for families is Butterfly Landing Presented by AdventHealth. This festival favorite is located near Imagination! in World Nature and is another place for little ones to explore and connect with nature. Families can observe many species of butterflies up close and learn fun facts about butterflies and their life cycles.
Be sure to read the plaques that will teach you and your little one about the butterfly’s life cycle. And who knows, if you stand really still, you just might be lucky enough to have one land on you!
3. Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration
Keep the little ones engaged throughout World Showcase with Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration. It’s a fun way to scavenger hunt throughout EPCOT with kids, even the bigger kids … we are looking at you, adults!
4. Disney Character Topiaries
After you buzz around with Spike, your little one will love searching for beloved Disney characters and animals cultivated into spectacular topiaries throughout the parks. This could be your own family-created scavenger hunt or game – like “I Spy…” This year’s new “Encanto” and “Princess and the Frog” topiaries can’t be missed!
