Went to USH last summer, and my youngest boy had just turned 8. He loved it. He is REALLY into movies, although we restrict him to PG and G. We went on the tram tour, most of the rides, the soundstage and special effects tour (both musts), and watched the Waterworld stunt show (another must).Gpaul said:Hi again! Will our nearly 7 yr. old boy enjoy Universal Studios in California, or should we just stick to Disney and California Adventure?
La Brea Tar Pits, worthwhile for the 3 of us?
Check the opening times; while we are there USH opens at 9:00.Gpaul said:Thanky! Methinks we'll do both USH and La Brea (get it out of our system, you know...)
So, to do both between 8AM-2PM, which one first/second?
Gracias!
If it was me, and I only had that much time, I would do the tram tour, stage tours and the waterworld stunt show. I'd skip the rides. You should be able to fit the above in.Gpaul said:Yep, Universal opens at 9. So, is 9am-1pm enough for taste of Universal (only kid stuff)?
My experience on recent trips is that there is no such thing as "non-rushhour" anymore in SoCal. Others who live in LA/Orange County can help here. I would allow for at least an hour drive, expecting some traffic.Gpaul said:Good call Hydro! Any idea how long a drive Universal-Tarpits, non rushhour?

challada said:I would skip USH completely...the price is terribly high to get driven thru a movie set...and there are no rides for smaller ones (hardly any rides, period)...nothing like the USOrlando. My kids called it "storeland" since it had nothing for them to see but a couple of stores.
