Optimal age - seeking opinions for kids 4/7/11 to go to USF/IOA

[jaysue]

From reading up, it would appear that IOA/USF is designed for an older kid crowd as opposed to MK/Epcot at Disney. I know the two are not directly comparable but was thinking of having my Sis and niece and nephew (7 and 11) join me and my son (who will be 4) at IOA/USF and was wondering if they (4/7/11) are a good age to enjoy Universal

Thanks

I had a 4 and 7 year old with me last August.. and they had a fine time! My four year old went on everything she could ()the exceptions being Hulk, Dueling Dragons!, Dr. Doom)

The 7 and 11 year olds are perfect ages. I'd worry about the 4 year old. Since he is your son, you should know how he handles the dark & loud noises. My oldest son when he was 4 was absolutely terrified even of the ET ride, while my youngest son at that age could handle the "scary" stuff.

Hi, just a personal opinion but I would say maybe 4 is too young. Especially if he is likely to get upset at waiting around whilst the older kids get to do things he can't. But all children are different and what would have been wrong for mine might be fine for yours.
