Spaceship earth is a slow-moving 16 minute ride through the big ball that is so iconic of Epcot. narrated by Dame Judi Dench, you embark on a voyage that goes back 40 million years and follow man's progress through time.
The ride is for all ages and goes up through he building and back down at the end for 16 minutes. One can see prehistoric man, the Gutenberg's presses, the Renaissance, early radio and television, up to the first man on the moon.
I found Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel amazing and really liked the Walter Cronkite broadcast of the first moon walk. The tour in somewhat interactive as it takes your photo and at the end of the ride the kids get to create a future world of their own using the screens inside the car while using the photos of their family's faces. Thoroughly entertaining and laughable they will all have a good time with it.
When you disembark there is a huge globe with all your faces placed in random locations on it. This ride is similar to the old Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom. It's a great fun ride, (air-conditioning is a plus) and they family can enjoy a well planned venue along with a little educational stimulation at the same time. This is good since life isn't all roller coasters! Have fun.
