We’ve only been to Universal Orlando twice with our tween girls, but, they know right away what they like and don’t like. The following rides are located at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure parks, both of which are great for all ages.
1) Despicable Me – There is no doubt that this is the favourite all around for my tweens. They love the Despicable Me movies and the ride was awesome!
Here are recommendations from my 9 and 11 year old tween girls for the top 10 rides for tweens at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Keep in mind that while many tweens may love Roller Coasters, my girls aren’t big fans of extreme rides, so this list includes many rides that are great for all ages.
Buzz Light-year’s Space Ranger Spin (Magic Kingdom) - Fire lasers to defeat Zurg in this shooting-gallery game that puts you in the center of a thrilling space battle.
Stitch’s Great Escape (Magic Kingdom) - Stitch is on the loose in this “theater-in-the-round” experience that’s a treat for your eyes, ears and nose.
Pirates of the Caribbean (Magic Kingdom) - Set sail on a swashbuckling voyage to a long-forgotten time and place when pirates and privateers ruled the seas.
