Wonders of Life

Wonders of Life was a pavilion with a golden dome in Future World dedicated to human biology and health sciences. Inside were motion simulator attractions, interactive games, and displays that explored different aspects of how the human body works.

Metropolitan Life insurance company partnered with Disney to fund and develop the pavilion when it opened in 1989. The attraction operated for nearly two decades before closing in 2007, though the building's distinctive golden structure remained standing.

The pavilion served as a place where visitors learned about the human body through entertainment rather than traditional teaching methods. The attractions made science feel like fun, drawing in families who wanted to explore how their bodies work.

The space now hosts seasonal festivals and changing events at Epcot while maintaining the original building structure. Check ahead to see what is currently happening inside before visiting the distinctive golden dome structure.

Body Wars was the first thrill ride at Epcot and used cutting-edge simulation technology to take visitors on a journey shrunk to microscopic size inside the human body. The ride became memorable for how it combined physics-based motion with storytelling about the body.
