Islands of Adventure - The One-Day Stay With Kids


Many kids, especially those who are tall enough to avoid the height restrictions listed earlier, will be perfectly happy going on all the rides, in which case the strategy outlined above will work just fine. However, if you have children who are too short or too timid to tackle the thrill rides, you can adopt a much different strategy.

If you fall into this category, you should make Pteranodon Flyers your first priority — assuming, of course, you feel your child will enjoy it. This ride takes only two people at a time per vehicle and does not accept Universal Express Plus, so the line gets very long very quickly.

Otherwise (and if your child is over 40 inches tall), do Spider-Man first. Most kids will have no problem with this one, although some of their adult guardians may. After that, you can relax and take your time.

Next, I would recommend a trip to Seuss Landing for those who won’t find it too “babyish.” However, even kids who consider themselves too “sophisticated” for most of Seuss will get a kick out of The Cat in the Hat ride. Your first ride in Seuss Landing should be the High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride, because of its slow loading time.

After that, you can pretty much pick and choose, using the height restrictions listed earlier and your child’s preferences to guide you. Despite the cartoon violence, Sinbad is a fun show for kids; don’t miss it.

When you need a break, steer your kids to an age-appropriate play area: If I Ran the Zoo and Me Ship, the Olive for younger children, Camp Jurassic for older ones.

Note: Whichever plan you follow, be sure to pick up an Adventure Guide as you enter the park.
