This is a nice pavilion to take a break in when walking around the World Showcase. Wish they had more US history items here and more items in the store.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Center piece of World-Showcase, home to the American Adventure attraction, architecture of the main building Cons: Not an entirely engaing representation of the U.S., Dining options
The biggest redeeming quality of this pavilion is the fact that it is home to the American Adventure, which is a great indoor AA experience about the story of America. Also the architecture of the main building is stunning and provides a eye-catching center-piece to the World Showcase Pavilion. But that's where the compliments end. Based on the food choices provided in the pavilion, all American cuisine is Fast-food french fries and burgers. Besides the less than adequate food options, there is not much else to do beyond the American Adventure show. With the detail put into the other pavilions, it is disappointing the host pavilion doesn't meet the same standards. Worth the stop for the show alone, but other than that take a minute to soak it in, then keep walking.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Ameican Pride Cons: Food and shopping
Seems like an after thought, ohh..we should have an American pavilion. Not much here, go inside for a cool pre-show and the drum line is cool to watch also.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): pretty architecture Cons: weakest pavilion in the World Showcase
While the colonial architecture is lovely to look at, the American Adventure is a disappointment of a pavilion. Terrible dining options, bad shopping and less detailed than other exhibits. Needs a revamp.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Spectacular show Cons: Not enough dining options
We love the attraction and always makes me proud to be an American. The Voices of Liberty are awesome if you can catch thier show. I just wish they had additional food options that represented more of what America has to offer from a culinary perspective.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Our home Cons: Quick
Love the The American Adventure show, it has some much history and told in such a fun way that even younger kids will be captivated not even realizing that they learned something about there home land.
The period clothing is a nice touch. A concert stage is right across the street too.....look it's Davy Jones!! OMG

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The American Adventure. Cons: Not enough here.
The American Adventure is wonderful but there should be more here. I love our country and think we could be better represented by adding some other significant American icons to the pavillion.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the theme song and the nice long rest Cons: the race to the theatre when its crowded
The American adventure in the America pavillion is one of my favorite attractions at Epcot. I always look forward to seeing the show after walking around world showcase. Its a nice long show in a beautiful comfortable theatre and when youre feet are killnig you after walking all day a nice 30 minute or so show is just right. The American adventure has some beautiful animatronic set pieces that tell the story of the US with the famous animatronics. It is told by Ben Franklin and Mark twain mostly and features many memorable moments and some really beautiful songs. The finally of the show is sownright touching and can bring a tear to the eye of even the most jaded person, I know I get watery. The show couldnt be more uplifting and it fills you with a great sense of pride in your country even after your fellow Americans have spent the last few days cutting in front of you in line with screaming kids. I think the imagineers might have had alterior motievs when they wrote this one. This show is not to be missed when visiting world showcase.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Voices of Liberty, history Cons: way at the back of EPCOT
We love to listen to the Voices of Liberty when we are in the World Showcase at EPCOT. It is a perfect way to escape the heat and crowds and hear some wonderful music. Then, after hearing them we like to see the American Adventure show. Makes us feel patriotic and happy to be in America.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The American Adventure Cons: Lackluster shopping and dining
This pavilion should be considered a must-do, just for the American Adventure presentation. Aside from that, however, there's not a lot to do back here. The shop is small and doesn't have much of interest in it, and the restaurant is the same quick service burger and fries you can get at almost any counter service place in the parks.
The forced perspective used on the main building is pretty cool and worth taking a closer look at.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Sounds of Liberty, architecture Cons: restaurant, limited shopping
Aside from the attraction (reviewed separately), there is not much offerred at this pavilion. The Sounds of Liberty, a singing group offerred as a pre-show to the attraction is great, and can be enjoyed without entering the attraction. There is only one small shop offerring patriotic merchandise, and several kiosks along the promenade. The one restaurant only serves standard fast-food fare. The building is beautiful.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): There's a great nap waiting for you in the attraction Cons: A lot
Beer of choice: Samuel Adams
So, why is it that the USA has the weakest pavilion? One patriotism shop, a long show, and that's just about it. Do yourself a favor and consider Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom the "real" USA pavilion. (You just have to come back here to get your Sam Adams.)

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Flag Ceremony, Cons: Lacks activity
The fife and drum/flag ceremony is fantastic, American Adventure also is a must see. But where are the details and exhibits that show the diversity and character of our great nation?

This is a fun place to visit. You will get the feel for US here for sure. It has a lot of history too, so be sure to check out the American Adventure pavilion to see a lot of it there.

The fife and drum corps is AMAZING to see. The other shows and such inside are really neat too, but can't we come up with something better than hot dogs and burgers for American food?
