My son was 2-1/2 when we went and he had a ball. My son was a little scared when approaching the characters in the park (after standing in line forever), but here they seemed less intimidating because it was so informal (the characters just mingle, there are no lines or anyone guiding them), and he even danced with Minnie and Mickey. There is also a country band playing the whole time, and he really enjoyed the music. Our whole family really enjoyed it.
