The American Pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World is located in the center of World Showcase, between Italy and Japan. While most children know a lot about American history, this pavilion still gives them a great opportunity to learn more. Needless to say, there are a ton of educational resources out there to help you. But here are a few easy educational resources for Epcot’s American Pavilion.

Educational Resources for Epcot’s American Pavilion

The American Pavilion is the heart of World Showcase in every way. The colonial style architecture, the Voices of Liberty, and the American Adventure all help to create an atmosphere that fills you with a patriotic spirit.

While it may not be as detailed as the other countries, this pavilion is educational from the moment you walk through the door!

The American Adventure

This attraction features Audio-Animatronic figures, digital rear-projection images on a 72-foot screen, and classic patriotic songs. Your hosts, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, walk you through landmark events in American history.

    these are great ideas, Cindy. I haven’t been to Disney World since I was 12, and Epcot center wasn’t even open yet! I’m taking notes in cases we ever get a chance to take the family. Thanks for collecting them all in one place 🙂

    Those crafts look so neat! I have always thought Disney is educational. There are things I learned in school that I already knew and remembered because of visiting Disney.

      There is so much you can learn at Walt Disney World, but World Showcase is my favorite!
