People had told me that 2 was too young but we didn't find that at all, our daughter immediately 'got it' and had an incredible time. It was an enormous amount of fun for all of us and I felt the cost of the trip was worth it. Toon Town and FantasyLand are the 2 places we spent all our time. We also took her to Disneyland and that was a real hit.

Not sure I thought the experience was worth the full price admission but a 2 year old can have a good time.Īs a side note, we went tried out Great America last summer as well and it was entertaining but again, the price of admission seemed outrageous for a kid that small. They have a yearly pass program that appears to pay for itself after just 2 or 3 visits but given her age and the distance we live from Vallejo 2 trips in one summer was enough. I would definitely plan ahead and watch for special coupons that are sponsored by 7-eleven or fast food restaurants. The cost is OUTRAGEOUS, something like $35 for each adult, I think kids under 3 were maybe free. The play area late in the summer appeared to be mostly dismantled so I think we must have come at a time when they were beginning their remodeling. The second trip she seemed to enjoy the shows more, they had a very good elephant show and she really liked the killer whales. The play area was limited to small children so I didn't have to worry about bigger kids falling on her. Her most fun was the play area for toddlers, a ball pit and some funky inflated cones that they could bounce around on. The first trip she was very much into just viewing the animals just like at the zoo.

The first just after our daughter turned 2 and then another trip around Sept or Oct. Adult admission is approximately $29-$30.

However, the admission price for a two year old can't be beat, it's free for kids under 3. Also, depending on how loud those rides will be you may want to consider taking your child before t hey open, the roar of the coasters and scraming could be frightening to a 2 yr old. I know the staff at Marine World is concerned about this. But the majority of the rides do have h eight restrictions beginning at about 42-48.Īlso, a few large rollercoasters are set to open in late May and it will be interest ing to see how this affects the animal/sea life and their ability to carry on with t he show. Popeye's Seaport has a train ride, a carousel, etc that the two of you may go on together. When my daughter was 3 she loved the flamingos found around t he park and there was a sea life petting zoo of sorts where the kids can touch urc hins and starfish is a shallow pool. The best attractions for a two year old will probably be the dolp hin/whale show, aquarium, animal shows (there a giraff, an elephant, and a walrus sh ow) and some of the kids areas like Popeye's Seaport which has play areas and rides for younger children. I'm having my little girls 4th birdthday there is weekend, the last time we took her there she was 3. The main differences are Great America also has a water park and Six Flags also has animals. Check these out and you will be able to easily plan your trip based on the facts (but makes it hard if the children are of very different heights). The websites for each park have charts/maps of rides listing the height requirements. The rides your child can ride independently are based on the child's height. I'd probably go to whichever one is more convenient for where you live. Great America is probably pretty similar (except minus the animals, I think). There are also a number of different animal-related shows which are pretty neat. We never go on rollercoasters and always find enough things to do, both in our childless days and also now in our days with children (though our kids are a little younger than yours). Yes, there are the huge rollercoasters, but they have many other rides too. I haven't been to Great America, but I've been to Six Flags a few times. Which has more rides they can go on without adults? Thanks! Lisa Which would be better for kids this age? They like rides, but don't have any experience with big roller coasters (and I'm not sure they'd be into them). We're thinking of taking our 8-year-olds to either Great America or Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for a birthday present.
