AGES 3 TO 6
Younger kids will enjoy anything in Seuss Landing and much of Toon Lagoon. If Dudley Do-Right is too much for them, stick to the white-water ride, cartoon show and the Me Ship, The Olive interactive play area. In Jurassic Park, check out the interactive play area Camp Jurassic, as well as the Discovery Center, the Pteranodon Fliers and the Triceratops Encounter.AGES 7 TO 10
These parkgoers will still love many of the things listed above but will also be ready for Dudley Do-Right, the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad stunt show and Poseidon's Fury. The more adventurous kids this age will enjoy the Jurassic Park River Adventure and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.AGES 10 AND UP
Only preteens and teens should try the Incredible Hulk Coaster, Dr. Doom's Fear Fall and Dueling Dragons, most with 54-inch height requirements.Your best touring tip for Islands of Adventure is to hit the rides early in the morning; headliner attractions like the Incredible Hulk Coaster will draw lines almost immediately, but because they carry only a few passengers at a time, the rides in Seuss Landing are also likely to be mobbed when the park fills to capacity in midmorning.
Save the shows and interactive play areas for afternoon, when you'll welcome the chance to sit down and rest and the kids will enjoy a little unstructured time.
