Guests can savor fresh, garden-inspired cuisine from Outdoor Kitchens located throughout the park. From plant-based dishes to flavorful international delights, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Festival-Themed Merchandise
Each year, EPCOT debuts a new exclusive merchandise collection just for the Flower & Garden Festival. Whether you’re a Figment fan, an Orange Bird lover, or just want a stylish souvenir, there are plenty of limited-edition items to shop.
 
Some of the festival-exclusive merchandise includes:
- Spirit Jerseys featuring festival-inspired designs
- T-shirts and tank tops with floral and garden motifs
- Minnie ears designed with springtime colors and floral details
- Cups, mugs, and tumblers with Orange Bird and Figment artwork
- Limited-edition Disney pins showcasing topiary characters
- Reusable tote bags perfect for carrying your festival finds
- Home and garden décor to bring a little EPCOT magic home
Merchandise can be found at Creations Shop, Festival Markets, and outdoor kiosks throughout the park. Be sure to shop early in your visit, as festival items often sell out quickly.
Play Gardens for Kids
For families visiting the festival, little ones can enjoy specially designed play gardens surrounded by lush landscapes and interactive play areas. New in 2025, the Playalong Bay Play Garden presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables will debut.
Inspired by Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Beach & Yacht Club Resort, this nautically-themed play area will be located between the Imagination Pavilion and the entrance to World Showcase. It’s the perfect spot for kids to burn off some energy while parents take a break and enjoy the festival surroundings.
Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration
This scavenger hunt adventure is a fun, interactive way for little ones to explore the festival. For around $9.99, guests can purchase a map and set off on an “I Spy”-style hunt for Spike the Bee, hidden throughout World Showcase.
Once completed, return your map to Creations Shop or World Traveler to claim a special surprise reward—in 2024, the prize was a mini corn hole game. This low-cost activity keeps kids engaged while giving them a cute souvenir to take home.
Butterfly Landing
Step into a world of color at Butterfly Landing, where you can observe a variety of butterfly species up close in a beautiful walk-through garden. Located near the Imagination Pavilion in World Nature, this enchanting experience is perfect for nature lovers of all ages. (Closes at dusk.)
The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is the perfect way to celebrate spring at Walt Disney World. Whether you’re admiring stunning floral displays, enjoying live music, indulging in seasonal flavors, or exploring interactive activities for kids, there’s something for everyone at this bloom-filled event.
