The 12 Tips You Need to Know Before Booking Your Next Universal Orlando Family Vacation

Universal is often billed as a "grown-up" vacation, but certain attractions are meant just for kids. Pteranodon Flyers in Islands of Adventure gives kids a (prehistoric) bird's-eye view of the park below, and Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster in Universal Studios park is gentle enough for kids to test their courage before moving on to bigger thrills.

To locate all of the kid-friendly rides, download the Universal Orlando Resort app before your trip. Once you're inside the park, you can filter the attractions to only see the rides suitable for your family and even check the wait times.
