Universal Kids Resort is set to open in just a few weeks on July 1st, and we’re so stoked there will soon be a park that’s really dedicated towards families with younger kids — and that there are lots of water features around the park, because Texas gets HOT during the summer!
If you’ve been thinking of taking a trip, but aren’t sure what your younger kids will actually be able to ride, your problem is no more. Universal has now listed ALL the height requirements for the attractions at the resort, so you can plan in advance!
Below we’ve compiled a full list of all the attractions in each land, as well as their height requirements (or if there isn’t one!) so you can plan ahead.
