Jurassic Park: The Ride (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Jurassic Park: The Ride?
Children taller than 107 cm can ride next to an adult and enjoy dinosaurs, while Child Switch helps if a sibling is too short, yet loud roars and steep drop may frighten some kids.
Positives:
- Child Switch System: Swap kids who sit out without doubling your wait time. Ask staff at the ride entrance.
- Height Access: Children must be at least 107 cm to ride. Measure before boarding to avoid surprises.
Challenges:
- Long Queues: Wait times can exceed 90 minutes on busy days. Plan ahead or use Express Pass.
- Get Wet: Front seats at the drop get splashed. Wear quick-dry clothes to stay comfortable.
