Its Universal, you're gonna have fun.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 7 and up for the full ride lineup. Younger children have dedicated areas in Seuss Landing and Toon Lagoon with appropriate attractions. Families planning to prioritize Harry Potter and Jurassic Park should check ride status before arrival β€” popular attractions occasionally close for maintenance.

β€œBrought my family here whilst on vacation. Overall we had a great day, so much so my kids managed to ride Harry Potters forbidden journey 4 times. The Velocicoaster is probably the best coaster we have ever ridden. We were disappointed that the HP castle and an area of Jurassic Park the main two attractions were under construction. One star dropped for this. Lastly Universal seems to have gone extremely tight now charging for the smallest of things. Over the Ripsaw bridge there are buttons to spray people with water. Universal has added payment CC devices to each one so you have to pay to spray. Come on universal this is just ridiculous. (See images)”
