The Wonders of Life pavilion opened between the Universe of Energy and Horizons (now Mission: SPACE). The pavilion was home to rides and attractions based on health and fitness related themes. The pavilion is located under a golden dome visible from the Monorail as you enter the park. The idea for a pavilion related to health had been around since the first ideas for the park had been created. The Life and Health pavilion was in the original designs but did not make it due to a lack of sponsorship. Once MetLife signed on, the pavilion was built.[2]
At the entrance to the pavilion is a 75 foot tall double helix representation of DNA. The scale is over 5.5 billion to 1 to an actual DNA molecule. It was repainted in 2004 (2004), giving thought that the pavilion might stay open longer. During the 90s, the entrance had the sign that spanned the entrance. This was removed and replaced with a sign that is just on the right of the entrance. The old footings for the sign can still be seen.
On January 4, 2004 (2004 -01-04), Disney announced that the pavilion would be open seasonally for when crowds were high. This was due to the fact that MetLife did not renew its sponsorship. The pavilion closed for good at the end of 2005 (2005). Rumors of it re-opening are still around, but for the busy 2006 (2006) Easter season, it remained closed. In 2008 (2008), the building was used for the Flower and Garden Expo and was emptied of its original theme.
