This was my 2 1/2 yr old sons favorite ride. He loved buzz, winnie the pooh, and all the rides in fantasy land, but when the ride was over he got off. He loved the safari ride so much that I had to drag him off. Since he liked it so much we rode it again later in the day and I had to drag him off again.
If your kids like animals they will love it. Aside from a few bumps there is no problem for kids with this ride.
