Land of Oz GardenThe Epcot® International Flower and Garden Festival has brought a new interactive play area to the park. Based on the new Disney film Oz the Great and Powerful that was just released in theaters this weekend, the Land of Oz Garden provides a fun way for kids to stretch their imagination and muscles while the parents take some time to relax.

As the largest play area ever created for a Festival at Epcot®, it is made up of a couple different components. In the Kansas section, the Baum Circus tents (named for the author of the original 14 Oz books) hosts several midway style games and fun mirrors. In Oz, kids can enjoy a large playground while parents relax on shaded chairs. But be sure to take a look around and see all the details, including the familiar yellow brick road made of yellow pansies and the Wizard’s deflated hot air balloon! You may also notice some unique red glass poppies – something that took the artist 4 days a piece to make!

The Epcot® International Flower and Garden Festival runs now through May 19, 2013, and the Land of Oz Garden is just one small piece of the festival! From character topiaries to the Flower Power Concert performances to amazing tapas from the Garden Marketplaces, there is fun for all ages! Contact your Magic Maker® for more details.
