Explore the walkways and gardens surrounding the
classic Georgian-style pavilion and experience
America as it was like during the colonial
years.
Inside the pavilion you'll find the American Adventure, a theater presentation
that explores the rich history of the United States. Your (Animatronic) hosts
are
Benjamin
Franklin
and
Mark
Twain. Along the way you'll also see and hear from George Washington, Frederick
Douglass, Franklin Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Will Rogers, and Alexander Graham
Bell (among others).
The presentation combines stunning visual effects, film, and detailed sets to
create a stirring and patriotic presentation.
Other entertainment includes the Voices of Liberty, an a
cappella
group singing
patriotic songs. Voices of Liberty
performs in
the rotunda of the pavilion, usually about 15 minutes prior
to the next showing of the American Adventure. You can also check out the American
Vybe. This group combines a standup bass player, singers and vocal percussionists,
performing more contemporary
American music including spirituals, gospel, and jazz. And for a rousing
celebration of colonial times, don't miss the
Spirit
of
America
Fife
and Drum Corps. They perform patriotic tunes and songs
of the colonial era throughout the day in the
courtyard in front of the American Adventure Pavilion.
