Kiddie Rides at Adventureland

 
Small tots don’t just want to sit in strollers while their older siblings go off and ride the roller coasters – they want to have fun, too.  At Adventureland, there’s no shortage of theme park rides for the youngsters – Mom and Dad can even ride along on some of them.

ATV-Go-Round  

The ATV-Go-Round has various Humvee and ATV-style cars that go around in a circle.  Very basic, and just about anyone can ride it.

Balloon Race 

The Balloon Race is another amusement parents can join their children on.  Each containment is shaped like a hot-air balloon and resembles something similar to a swing ride, only much more tame.  

Biplane 

Each car – or rather, plane – on this Red Baron-themed ride is a two-seater, so you can send two tots on together.  This is a mild ride that basically just moves up and down as it progresses in a circle. 

Carousel 

Most carousels are pretty much self-explanatory.  You can ride this one with your child, and there are seats for doubles if your tot can’t balance himself on one of the horses yet.

Choo-Choo Train 

The Choo-Choo Train is really for anyone, but small children will appreciate it the most.  Get the lay of the land on this little red train while deciding which rides you want to ride, or just take a leisurely break on the train throughout the day.

 
Chuck Wagon 

The Chuck Wagon is a great ride for parents to take their small children on.  It looks a little like a miniature Ferris Wheel, only with an prairie wagon theme for each pod.  The restraints are slightly more safe than a regular Ferris Wheel as well.

Dinosaur 

Folks of all ages can ride the Dinosaur, as the seats are very roomy, but adults might feel a little ridiculous.  This ride is again of the circular variation, so at this point you might want to take a break and go find something to eat.

Frog Hopper 

Smack in the middle of Adventureland is a not-so-kiddie ride known as the Space Shot.  If your younger kids want a taste of what their bigger siblings are riding, they can try out the Frog Hopper.  This multi-seat ride goes up and down vertically with subtle drops and rises.  You can accompany your child on this one if you like.

Ladybug 

The Ladybug is designed for the smallest of children – you probably don’t need to accompany your tot on this one.  It travels in a very slow, very small circle, so you can have a rest while your kids have some fun.

Tea Cups 

The Tea Cups are just what they sound like – under a shady roof, a few teacups circle round and round alone as they progress in a figure eight with the other tea cups.  A little dizzy, but fun for anyone looking for a relatively uneventful ride.
