What rides can a 2 year old ride, if any?

[KerriKaden]

Just wanted to know if there was anything we will be able to do as a family, instead of the baby swap thing? This is our first USF/IOA trip! Also, it will be my dd b'day while we are there. Do they ever do anything special for b'day girls?

Thanks!!

Hi.... We just took my daughter she just turned three. She had so much fun! (DS(4) & DN (6) also) She loved ET, Jimmy Neurtron & Shrek the most we rode those twice each. Jaws and Earthquake she held on tight to her daddy
Oh and Fivels Playland & Curious Georges Water Park we had a hard time getting them out of.
At USO pretty sure than can do everything except:
Men In Black
Back to the Future
Woodywood Peckers Rollercoaster you have to 36"
and at Jimmy Neurton they can ride in the stationary seats
Our kids had a blast!!
She loved all the Charaters except she was a little afraid of Shrek
It was too cute held on to my leg with all her might!
Have a wonderful time and birthday

These are the rides & attractions at IOA that don't have a height requirement:

Me Ship, The Olive
Jurassic Park Discovery Center
Camp Jurassic
Poseidon's Fury
The Mysic Fountain
The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad
Storm Force Accelatron
If I Ran the Zoo
The Cat in the Hat
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Caro-Seuss-el

I just got back from IOA & USO with my 2 year old niece. I don't think she would've enjoyed Poseidon's Fury or The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad because they're both quite loud. Heh, she wouldn't want to be around anything louder than her. She didn't like Cat in the Hat the first time we went on it, but we tried it again without the spinning and she really liked it. If your 2 year old has a problem with spinning like my Niece, just ask a ride attendant at Cat in the Hat to please turn off the spinning. We didn't even attempt Storm Force Accelatron cause of the spinning. She really, really enjoyed all of the play areas.

Have fun!

Make sure to bring her bathing suit and a towel. There are fun areas where kids can get wet in both parks. IOA, at first glance, might seem to be less little kid friendly, but there are not one, not two but THREE kids fun areas; Me Ship the Olive at Toon Lagoon, Camp Jurassic at Jurassic Park (watch out here though, a little one could get lost VERY easily), and If I Ran the Zoo at Seuss Landing. All three of them have wet potential

As for the birthday question, I know that Circus McGurkus Cafe in Seuss Landing has a birthday celebration each day. I think it's around three o'clock but check your show schedule when you arrive at the park.

Hope this helps. Have a great time!

There are many height requirements, but your two year old will be able to do alot. At the studios, all the shows are available and at IOA, there is alot for the kiddies to do.

Have fun!
