UNIVERSAL FOR CHILDREN
The word on the street says that Universal Orlando Resort is great for teens and adults
but doesn't offer much for kids under seven. This is simply not true. No, it doesn't have as
much as Walt Disney World and you won't find Disney's nostalgic charm, but Universal
Orlando Resort is a master at blending attractions for all ages into one easily digestible
and navigable package of fun. Dr Seuss' Grinch, superheroes and all kinds of Universal fa-
vorites make appearances at theme parks, and characters from Despicable Meand other
kid-friendly shows swing by hotel restaurants. CityWalk is very family friendly, despite its
many bars and live music, with a sci-fi themed miniature golf course and a splash foun-
tain, and the Wantilan Luau at Portofino Bay Hotel gives folks of all ages a taste of the is-
lands.
Most of the kid-friendly attractions cluster at Universal Studios Woody Woodpecker's
KidZone , Islands of Adventure's Seuss Landing and Toon Lagoon , and the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter. Bring a change of clothes, as both parks have attractions designed
to get kids wet!
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Barney Show Delightfully gentle theater-in-the-round live performance and sing-along.
Curious George Goes to Town Best tiny-tot water-play area in any of the theme parks,
and a giant room of nerf balls to throw and shoot from cannons.
Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster Gentle coaster for kids three and up.
Animal Actors on Location! Big stage show that highlights exploits of animal actors.
ET Adventure Board a bike and ride through the woods, the police in hot pursuit, be-
fore rising safely into the sky through outer space to ET's fanciful home planet. There are
a few spooky spots - prepare kids for darkness, loud noises and steam - but there are no
spins, speeds or plummets.
ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Ride a Seussian fish around, slowly up and
down, with just enough spin to thrill.
Cara-Seuss-al Hop on a fanciful Seuss character.
Cat in the Hat Classic ride through a storybook.
High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride Soar gently over the park.
