Is LEGOLAND or Universal better for kids?

What are the ages of your kids? If they are young (say 10 and under), LEGOLAND is much better than Universal Studios Hollywood. As mentioned above, LEGOLAND is designed for kids, while Universal is more of an adult park (basically shows and a tram tour). I would go for Universal.

Rides at Universal Studios Orlando for 4-year-old & 5-year old. The cutest age to go to Universal in my opinion. My barely 4-year-old son rode all the rides below as they have a height limit of 40? or 42?, plus all the other rides with lower limits. Some rides are more intense than others.

That said, Wizarding World (like most of the rides at Universal Studios) is probably best suited for kids 7 & up. Kids who are already well-versed in all things Potter will have the best time since every nook and cranny is inspired by J.K. Rowling's sprawling imagination.

While you probably could do LEGOLAND in one day, it would be at a quick pace. They have shorter hours than Disneyland (it was 10 am-5 pm when we went.) My biggest LEGOLAND California tip is to plan for at least 2 days for your first trip. And if the water parks are open, add one more day.
