Wonders of Life (1989-2004) was the last original pavilion to open and receive a symbol. After closing in 2004, Wonders of Life would continue to operate seasonally for awhile, until it became the new showcase building for Epcot's festivals. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (MetLife) was its sponsor from 1989-2000.

Wonders of Life was sponsored by MetLife from the time it opened until sometime during the turn into the 21st century. During it's time as sponsor a MetLife remote-controlled Snoopy blimp would float around the pavilion. Without a sponsor to keep it's mainenance up, Wonders of Life has been closed down.

Wonders of Life consisted of several attractions. Most notable was Body Wars, Epcot's first height required thrill ride. It shrank guests down inside their shuttle so they could fly into a body to remove an infected splinter. Body Wars was a motion simulator much like Star Tours.

Cranium Command was a show featuring Buzzy, an Audio-Animatronics Cranium Commando trying to earn his stripes. Guests witnessed Buzzy trying to communicate messages from the brain to the body and vice versa inside of a young boy. The Sensory Funhouse was an interactice playground in which guests could test their senses including touch, sight, and sound. Other attractions included Goofy about Health, a cartoon display of good health, and the Making of Me. Guests could also ride Wondercycles and listen to 3D sound at the Fitness Fairgrounds. Pure & Simple, the counter-service restaurant, once featured Wonder Waffles.
