We have the motorola ones, I don't know the exact model # (I can't find them right now) but they are blue and I know they have a 2 mile radius. They seem to do pretty well in the parks. Just make sure you can lock onto the station that you have decided on.

From other reports I have read you will be better off using cell phones if you have them. Since so many people use the walkie-talkies, you are sharing frequencies with other people and the signals get crossed.

We like the walkie talkies--and we use them at crowded times without problem--such as Easter this year. Ours are Southwestern Bell models. But whatever make I'd suggest you get these 2 features: 1) vibrating option. Sometimes it's so loud at various places that you can't hear the ringer. Also, if you set it just to vibrate you can leave it on during shows, etc. 2) Get the model that has the extra channels. Ours have 22 main channels. But each main channel has 38 sub channels. The combination is something like 800 available channels. We just pick a pretty obscure setting like channel 18 subchannel 27. Nobody else is on--or if there is a problem just change to the next subchannel. The advantage to the walkie talkies is we have 4 of them (for 6 of us).
