14 of 20 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 10 of 20. A third strand, pacing, appears in 15% of them at 3.7 stars.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (93/100), 2 intermediate and 1 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from April 2, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 53% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: wiping cloths and handwash sinks accessible.
This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

This is a slower ride, and it is not the most interesting of these kinds of storytelling boat rides. Unless you have smaller children I do not think you will find it worth a longer wait. That may just be my personal preferences though. Have fun and God Bless!

I have to admit it is one of the cleanest well kept aquariums that I have ever seen. All the animals on display looked healthy and well cared for and in large tanks.

I love Nemo so cute

Vous êtes plongé dans le film du début à la fin j’ai apprécier l’espace aquarium et ludique à la fin de l’attraction, qui mérite un peu une rénovation quand même, mais sa fait le job pour les grands et petits, la boutique avec de quoi repartir plein les yeux la petite nursery et le petit plouf qui montre l’engagement et le respect que montre Disney à travers ses parcs.

We enjoyed seeing the manatees. You can also see sea turtles, rays, and sharks, along with a variety of fish in the large aquarium. Smaller exhibits feature sea horses, sea dragons, cuttlefish, coral, and other creatures. It is an educational experience for all parties. Also, it is a great escape from the heat or rain if needed.

Es una atracción ideal para toda la familia, donde podrán explorar el impresionante mundo del océano y redescubrir la magia de esta clásica historia de Pixar. Desde los coloridos corales hasta los simpáticos personajes de la película, cada momento es para disfrutar. Desde la fila misma, comienza con una ambientación playera que pasa a un tema submarino con el uso de iluminación especial, que hace parecer como si estuviéramos bajo el mar. El paseo es tranquilo, con animaciones y títeres que se combinan para hacer de este un viaje lleno de diversión mientras vamos buscando a Nemo con la ayuda de Dory, Bruce, Marlin y el resto de los personajes. A la salida hay un gigantesco acuario, con más de doscientas especies de vida marina, incluidos delfines, tiburones, tortugas marinas, rayas, peces tropicales multicolores, y donde se puede observar al pez payaso, en un espacio de 21.5 millones de litros de agua salada que se puede recorrer al propio ritmo, sin apuros, en una experiencia educativa y muy atractiva visualmente.

Cool ride and post ride experience.

Literally a 4 minute ride, and it stopped 4 times while we were on it 🙄

Fun ride for littles!

The ride was ok. Not my favorite but worth going to. At the end you can walk around a little aquarium!! Oh! And at the front the birds say…

We had a great time on The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT - a fun and relaxing ride with characters from Finding Nemo - the underwater scenes and animation are very well done - the large aquarium after the ride is impressive and fun to explore - a great attraction while visiting EPCOT.

I love this ride so much. I have been a fan of Finding Nemo since I was a little girl and even enjoy it during my adult years! Dory is my favorite. :-) It’s a cool ride if you want to just relax and slow down a little and take a break from the heat of Florida at the park, they also have a really beautiful exhibit after the ride finishes and amazing sea life to see. I also loved the gift shop. ☺️

Pretty good dark ride for Epcot, but is basically just an inferior Ariel’s undersea adventure. Not really a lot to say, other than this is a good filler attraction to Epcot, but this is downgraded a bit because of the reliance of screens, and overall just feels lackluster. Not something worth anything over a 30 minute wait.
-
This is my favorite ride. As silly as it may seem, every time I go to Epcot, I look forward to getting on this ride. It’s very relaxing and I love the atmosphere. It’s perfect for kids, but there is a dark part that may be scary for some little ones. Definitely a must-ride if you like a break from the busy park!

Essa atração fica logo na entrada do Epcot Center a direita de quem entra no parque. É ideal para crianças. Um passeio bem tranquilo com cenário do desenho do Nemo. No final não deixe de visitar o Aquário.

Awesome aquarium!
