Which park with toddlers

[bdmphs]

We have one day at the universal complex and we can go to one park. Which would you suggest with 2yrd Girl and a 3yrd boy?

I'd recommend the USF.

I would as well. They have a huge area made especially for toddlers. You can also do child swap on the rides that they won't want to go on. You can do stationary seating in Shrek and Jimmy Neutron as well.

I agree with the above posts. IOA has a lot of thrill rides, and US has a really nice kids area on the other side of E.T. Have fun!!!

hard chioce IMHO...
sure IOA has a lot of thrill rides, but it has even more family rides and attractions. All of SeussLanding is for the toddler set. Flying Unicorn is a great kiddie coaster (the youngest might be too short). my small for her then 3 1/2 DD loved Spiderman.
Ptrodon Flyers, Camp Jurrasic and the Discovery Center are also great for toddlers.

If I were you I would buy the 1 day 2 park ticket and hit both.

Agree with the last post - Suess is well worth the trip but so is the kid area near ET. If you are only doing toddler friendly things, it would be easy to do both - do one in the morning, have lunch at City Walk and then do the other in the afternoon. If they sleep in their strollers, you can wander into other areas. My DD (age 8) and I both loved Suess!

My daughter loves everything Seuss in IOA. That said she also couldn't get enough of the wood woodpecker rollercoaster in USF and the toddler park that is there. So both parks would be good, we were able to go to both parks when we were there without any trouble in one day, as long as you do not want to do any rides. I highly recommend the Mummy if you like Rollercoasters it is one of the best out there !!!

Our boys were 2 and 4 our first trip there. They LOVED Universal, and we have been back every year since.

I like the two park idea. It's not like WDW, where it takes forever to get from one to another park. the parks at Universal are very close and walkable to eachother.

It's a tough choice, but I think I would go with the Studios if I had to pick one. The vibe is more laid back, the park is more spacious. do they still have the Animal Planet Live and the Barney Show? Those were huge hits, as well as the E.T. ride, Jimmy Neutron, and the huge water play areas. Just my two cents.
