Is LEGOLAND or Universal Studios 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.

Disney World definitely has more attractions for young kids, and Universal Studios might look like it just has thrill rides. But we like to wander the themed areas to watch street artists before casually catching character parades — without needing to queue up beforehand.

However, the Universal Studios age recommendation is a fairly mature 8 years-old. If they're younger they probably won't be able to appreciate much of the entertainment or be able to go on many rides, but families do have a fun experience when taking a trip together.

A: The best Disney park for a 5-year-old will be Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom has over 15 attractions with no height requirement, and plenty of magic for your little ones. You will also find the most character meet and greets in Magic Kingdom if that is what your little one is excited to do!

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.

Most people would say 6-7 hours is the average time needed to see the best of Universal Studios, so pretty much one full day.

So, which Universal park is better for kids? As a general rule of thumb, we find that Universal Studios is the better choice as it has plenty of kid-friendly options when it comes to rides, shows, and character meet and greets!

Ideal for 5-8 year old, but still plenty of fun Lego enthusiasts through age 10. I don't recommend it to families with older kids, unless they are excited to share the experience with younger siblings. Thank you JamesinSD.

As you can guess if Saturday and Monday tend to be the busiest, Tuesday tends to be the best day to visit Universal Studios Orlando. We also find Thursday to be one of the least busy days of the week at Universal Studios, with Sunday being a great weekend option.

Like mentioned above, you can absolutely visit 2 parks in one day at Universal Orlando, but it's important that we mention it's almost impossible to do it all! But to be honest when you really look at everything Universal offers you really might now want to go on every single attraction.

Disney has great theme parks for 7 year olds, especially when they start wanting to branch out more with thrills. Many of Disney's roller coasters aren't super high thrill and can be handled by guests of all ages. A great park to start for at for a 7 year old would be Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom.
