Is it worth taking a toddler to Universal Studios?

There is a lot of stimulation at Universal Studios Hollywood for toddlers. If you need a quiet spot to decompress (or you need to nurse a baby), hop into a quiet room in the Family Center located near WaterWorld. You can use a private room with a chair for an adult, and one for a child with some toys.
