Best Time to Ride The Seas with Nemo & Friends
Board a 'clamobile' and join Nemo, Dory, Marlin, and friends on a gentle ride through the ocean in EPCOT's Seas pavilion. The attraction cleverly uses projection technology to make animated characters appear to swim alongside real fish in the aquarium tanks. After the ride, you exit into SeaBase, the massive aquarium complex. A gentle, colorful ride suitable for all ages with typically short waits. The combo of the ride and the aquarium makes this pavilion an easy hour of entertainment.
