What can you tell me about Innovations?

Specifically what would three kids under the age of 7 find interesting? I was reading in the UOG that the Fire Safety Exhibition was good, any thoughts comments or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time!!!!

There is alot of things for kids to do. They have a computer section with all new Disney games, plus an area where you can build your own plastic robot. My nephews spent hours there on our last vacation.

they also had some interactive games where the kids swung a baseball bat to see how far/fast they hit the ball. The cm will swing behind the younger ones so nobody "strikes out". I think they also had bowling and maybe basketball, there was at least one other then the baseball.

There is Mickey Tag where Donald, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy play tag. Each person has a character and they chase each other around. When my kids were 7 they loved it. Now, 6 years later they still enjoy it, but not over and over again. Around the same area they have other video type games. There is also an area (I think it is still there) where you can make a short video and email it to yourself, family and friends. They have the UL testing area. You do a few test like smack a tv screen and other things.

Have fun there!

There is a lot of fun stuff for Kids. I am not a fan of it myself, but if you are going with kids, it will be one of their favorite parts of EPCOT.

We only do two things at innoventions, we do the plastic robot thing where it takes about 1/2 hour but you get to keep the robot you build. It starts with a presentation about plastics, then you have to play an interactive game with everyone and then you go off and build your robot. The other thing we do is the dance game thing were you play against someone and it tells you what steps to take. The best thing to do is just walk through each building and stop where you want to stop. A lot of people pass it by.

My "kids" are in their 20's and they always make a robot and play the Disney Dance Dance Revolution Game. We all play it and the winners keep playing each other until we have a winner. (Always by son, he is faster that the rest of us)

Innovations is great! Any age over toddlers will find something! Kids love it! Just don't think you'll get them out of there quickly and be prepared to stay close... mine go in all directions at once!

Thanks for all the replies I will definately have to set aside a couple hours for innovations. No mention of the fire safety display though, is it gone? Just not interesting?

We just came back and the Fire exhibit is still there. My kid are older 12 & 18 and we all enjoyed it. There are two teams and you need to identify fire hazards in the home to score points. It's interactive and kinda neat really. Our "family" won with over 16,000 points. Yay! There are a number of interesting things to do. You can send email postcards for free (we did it and it was fun). The kids will really like it.

Is this worth doing for a 6 and 5 yo?
