Fear Factor Live
is a stage version of the stomach-turning reality show that ran on
NBC from 2001 to 2006 and again from 2011 to 2012. Six volunteers compete for
one prize (a package that contains Universal goodies ranging from park tickets to T-
shirts) by doing dumb and yucky things such as swimming with eels and eating bugs.
The show is really payback for adults; adolescents will enjoy watching Mom squirm
during the icky parts. For children age 8 and under,
Fear Factor Live
is nightmare
material. Whether you participate or simply watch, this show will keep your innards
in an uproar.

Fievel's Playland is another must for a successful visit to Universal Studios
with small children. The playground is themed after the 1991 Steven Spiel-
berg movie
Fievel Goes West
. Young children will love to identify with the
tales of Fievel Mousekewitz.
