The rides also play a big part in that joy for adults and kids alike. Even though your child might not be tall enough to ride some of the more daring attractions (roller coasters, anyone?), it doesn't mean there isn't still a ton for them to do. Start with these toddler-friendly rides and watch the magic come to life!
