Height requirement for Surrey Bikes at BWV??

[momoflizandains]

I will be traveling to BCV during Spring Break with my girls (6 and 8). First is it possible to use one with one adult and two children? Second, what is the height requirement? TIA.

I don't recall that there is a height requirement. It's more practically limited by whether or not someone can effectively reach the pedals - as long as an adult is 'on board' I don't think you'll have any problems. I've seen infants being pedaled around before.

No height requirement. However, in order to accommodate all 3 of you, you would need a 4 person bike. The bikes are surprisingly difficult to pedal up the hill near Epcot bridge and Swan/Dolphin bridge. The 2 kids may not be a lot of help in this. Since you are only supposed to go counterclockwise, if you can't pedal over the hills be prepared to get out and push.

we were there over new years with our 3 kids - 10, 9, and 4. they had a chart that indicated the minimum height to "pedal" the surrey bikes. technically, our 10 year old was still too short to pedal but not by much. she is slightly above average height for a child her age and was still technically too short. they said it was ok if she still tried to pedal but she had trouble keeping contact with the pedals as we rode. our 8 year old was not even close and we did not let him try. we were riding the 3 seat surrey - so i dont know if the pedal distance is any different on the smaller surreys. if you are going alone with your two kids - make sure you are ready to work out on the hills - it was harder than i imagined.

Thanks for the warning.
