I love this ride, it's very educational and shows you how humanity started and how it has progressed. The line moves very fast, it should be the first ride you try!

Matthew Keller

A classic ride ! Must see for anyone visiting Epcot! Hint: Go ride other things first, and come back later in the afternoon when lines are shorter.

Greg G

This ride is a classic and a must do at Epcot. Afternoon is usually the best time as the wait drops a bit after the morning rush.

Shewanda Pugh

Love the moving journey through world history and the glimpse of various ancient civilizations. Look for the interactive component to engage everyone in their look to the future .

Alexandra Goldstein

Sit back, relax and thank the Phoenicians with Dame Judi in a lovely, immersive edutainment ride of the kind EPCOT Center did best back in the day.

Jessica Legner

A must do at Epcot. A very neat ride and learning experience. Not 100% accurate, but don't sweat the small stuff. :) The end is amazing!

Kristin Tangel

Go on multiple times and make a stupid face for the picture each time. That's what makes this ride fun! The line usually moves steadily enough for you to do that.

Jennifer Caraballo

Put shorter people in the front of the car and smile for the photo portion in the beginning. Fun result in the end. And don't worry, you can send the result to yourself by email after you exit.

John Buck

Lifetime favorite, always good for the start or end of your day

Slightly Perfect

The best part if when you get stuck by the Ancient Greek part, and you have to hear that monologue again and again.

Tracy Longbons

Icon of Epcot, it still does the job of past through to future in very valid process.

Michael Driver

My 7 year old requested to ride this because she remembered it from her first trip. Who knew it would make such an impression. Educational but apparently very memorable!

Jose Rodriguez

This ride is so amazing. You totally feel like you're flying into space. Find time to wait and ride it.

Greg Pagans

almost an introductory course to historical Western Civilization, with eye grabbing animatronics and even scents awaiting one's visit. have always liked this ride--narrator Dame Judy Dench supports!

Tara Conklin

Any hat, glasses or headbands on your head when you get your picture will cause the top of your head to disappear in your future .

R. A. Pedersen

Let's face it: this is not the best version of the ride's narration and finale. It was opened in '82 and was redone in '86, '94, and '07. So there's a new version to look forward to on the horizon!

Ashe B

I would like to officially thank the Phoenicians for the alphabet, you should as well !

Ayaz Hyder

Make sure you look at screen when it takes your picture during ride. After ride is over come out quickly into big room & see your photo on the big screen .

Slightly Perfect

I love this ride. I'm constantly referencing all the information in it while my 7yo does her homework or if we're out. So fun and educational .

Undercover Tourist

Make sure you smile during the 1st part of the ride as you’re going through the tunnel . You’ll use the picture taken here when you design your own future on the touch-screen at the end of the ride.

The Transit Navigator

The newly-refurbished Spaceship Earth provides an amazing journey through the history and future of communication. With a new interactive finish, see how bright the future looks for you!

Richard Remis

It gives you a brief history of our world in a very nice and entertaining way

Ricardo Luciano

Make sure to take the photo with no crowds!

Julie

Like a grand and miraculous spaceship, this ride is an awesome journey through time. Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden Mickeys when you are in the Rennaisance!

Laur Lo Ski

Very cute ride! Sort of like a rollercoaster without any of the falls. It's a continuous moving ride. We fastpassed it but I feel like the wait time in line wouldn't have been that bad.

Elizabeth

This ride is a great introduction to a simplistic version of history. The computers at the end are fun too

T-town Tom

This was a highlight for our family. The kids loved it and talk about it to this day. Not for the claustrophobic.

Mike Seilback

Fun to go "in the golf-ball" - been updated on recent years w updated story and visuals

Lorena Bragança

A beautiful trip! All the details makes the difference! In the end of the ride, remember send a postcard for you and enjoy the games.

Tyler Waaler

Go for the intense version, it's so worth it! What a great ride.

Dave G

One of my favorite rides. But it is almost a sure bet that the ride will stall at some point during your ride.

Lindsaye

This ride is hysterical if you DON'T press English as your language! It translates the whole ride into Japanese, German, portuguese, etc! Fun!

Sean Miller

I’ve always enjoyed this ride. Super cool classic ride .

Chad Murray

A nice calm ride with a fast line . But we miss the old days when Walter Cronkite was the narrator .

Ian Levenstein

Give your craziest face possible when they snap your photo at the beginning of the ride. It makes the interactive portion later on even better.

Ben-jammin Black mon'

Backwards man would feel at home on this ride.

Kyle LeBeau

Take the time to play the games at end if you can

Murat

A slow ride with narrative of workd history. Could be done, if nothing else is available; or to kill some time between your scheduled shows.

Eric Stankovitz

An iconic classic Disney attraction and landmark ...

Christy Drawdy

Please don’t take this attraction away or change it! It’s part of the experience and memories!!!

Joe Murphy

Who remembers the city of the future when the time machine turns around? It used to be down the the left under the earth. Wish they would bring it back....

Brian Pinard

This ride has improved by leaps and bounds since the most recent renovation!! This is a classic!

Victor Hernandez Salomon

To avoid long waits , don't make Spaceship Earth your first stop in the morning because it is the most popular in the morning. The wait will be shorter at any other part of the day.

Gregory Cook

This was a great ride for all ages. It felt like were part of the Jetson TV show.

Meredith Morten

Please do not take pictures inside the ride!!! No one at work wants to see your slide show of every animatronic on the ride.

Kris Prokop

Never miss this ride! A spot to cool down and the lines move quickly.

Matt Riley

Great ride but if it’s not walk on, we avoid it. ????

⛄️ Mark Sullivan

"Remember how easy it was to learn your ABCs? Thank the Phoenicians. They invented them."

Danielle Hallett

Take off your sunglasses before the ride takes your photo, or don't if you want a weird looking image later in the ride x

Brandon Cain

Classic ride ! Lines move fast, don’t waste a fast pass
