Picture sunburnt noses, beach hair, lobster rolls, and cute New England coastal towns awash in the blues and purples of hydrangea blooms and pinks of meandering beach roses.

With attractions like Jurassic World VelociCoaster — which tops out at an eye-watering 70 miles per hour — and spine-chilling annual festivities like Halloween Horror Nights, it can be easy to think that Universal Orlando is only meant for thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies. While Universal has certainly perfected the formula on their hair-raising rides and events, the park also has plenty to offer to families with young children.

It’s familiar and breezy to navigate, yet feels far enough to be a tropical getaway. I usually spend time on the Gulf coast for trips, or near Daytona Beach to see family. But this time I checked out a new destination.
