Turtle Talk With Crush

Going to Disney parks is so much better with kids. After riding on The Seas with Nemo & Friends, we checked out some of the post ride aquariums and we went with the kids to Turtle Talk with Crush. It was my first time. That was a pretty cool experience for the kids. They got to interact with Crush and ask him any question. Apparently you had to be a kid on the floor in the front to interact with Crush. An older kid among the benches was desperately trying to get in a question.

By far one of the best interactive shows I have ever seen! I came in thinking it was going to be similar to the other shows but this one is so cute. Crush really talks to the kids in real time. He’s a cartoon yes, he swims around and looks out into the crowd to pick on kids at the front who want to ask questions about the turtle world and he asks about the human world. It’s a great lesson in conservation and makes you remember you aren’t the only ones sharing the earth.
Crush called the kids by name and even involved the parents of my kid who got shy trying to talk to crush. It was absolutely adorable and I would go see it again even if we weren’t with kids.
I will say it was hard to see as an adult seated behind others on the same level, but I could see and hear enough. A must do while in Epcot!

Cute animated Crush scenes with the younger human audience. We were lucky enough to witness a smart alec. :)
Aquariums were nice and the manatees came up close too.

This is the most perfect show for a kid. They basically interact with Crush who is a real live actor hiding somewhere so he actually see’s you and will answer the questions your kids might have.
It’s a very cute show for the little ones and they will love the hell out of this one. It last about 15 minutes so you’ll be able to relax your feet.
It’s nothing more really beyond that. Imagine Barney and friends, but with Crush the turtle. That’s what it is.

This one gets four stars because younger children will love interacting with Crush… This show lasts 20 mins and consists of Crush interacting with children.
Although the show keeps the children entertained it’s not the most fun for adults. If you don’t have younger kids I suggest skipping this one. There are a lot of other great things to do in Epcot.

Offensive at best. Who’s idea of a good time is this? Some guy sits behind a glass and mimics the whole surfer shtick. This goes on for 15 – 20 minutes. After about 2 minutes of «Whoa» and «Sh-​haa» parents, at least smart parents, started grabbing their kids and leaving. My brain was numb and I sat paralyzed through this exper

I’m going to give this 4 stars only because it’s really good for small children. The show is about 20 minutes and as others have said, Crush actually interacts with the children who are encouraged to sit on the floor in front of the screen. There are benches set up for the adults.
It works very much like Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor. There’s someone behind the curtain controlling crush so he moves around the screen and actually looks at the kid asking the question and then answers. It’s pretty neat that the kids actually believe it’s really Crush right there talking to them.
Unlike Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor, which I love because it’s always funny, I’m not so much into Turtle Talk with Crush. We only wander in here when we happen to be in this area of the Park and we’re hot and bored. Even then, it doesn’t happen very often. I’d rather head to Living With The Land instead.
I’m sure if I had small children of my own, I would enjoy this much more because I would enjoy watching the amazement in my child’s eyes. But, I do not have small children, so I get pretty bored here pretty fast. The last time we were here, we actually walked out after about 10 minutes.
Crush also has the whole «surfer dude» voice going on and people who speak that way really irritate me.
If you do have small kids, don’t miss this one. They will love it and you will love that they love it.
If you do not have children with you (or have older children), then skip this one and spend your time in the Park doing something much more entertaining. For instance, head to the World Showcase and have a beer!
