Great Experience for the entire family. Super Nintendo World is a must, especially the Mario Kart attraction; I didnt purchase the band but I was able to play the mini games, but, I could not enter the Bowser Jr attraction. If you are a Harry Potter fan you will love it's land, it is very intricate and inmerssive; even if you are not a fan you will like it, the castle is just so impressive:) . The waterworld show is full of outstanding stunts and is very fun as you may get soacked. The Jurrasic World ride has one of the most impressive animatronics I have ever see. The park captures the filmaking aspect of LA especially in the Studio Tour. Finally, I went on December 17, a Tuesday, and the lines were almost inexistent. A must if you are on LA :)

There are a lot of people. Although the tickets are expensive, the facilities are really exquisite and many are suitable for children to play. It will not be boring but very exciting. There are fireworks at night, especially the water world. You can't miss it.
