A few awesome Disneyland park attractions for the whole family

Before you head to Disneyland, it’s important you get a handle on Disneyland park attractions for the whole family to enjoy together. My Castle House has put together a few suggestions that will create memories for a lifetime.

Disneyland Park Attractions

For families with little ones, you’ll want to target attractions with no height requirements. Many of the rides have a minimum height requirement for safety reasons. But even if you have little tykes in your group, there are plenty of things to see and do in the happiest place on earth.

For those who are curiouser and curiouser, Alice in Wonderland in Fantasyland is a great ride for all ages. Hop on an oversized caterpillar for an adventure that takes you down an enchanted rabbit hole into the topsy-turvy realm of Wonderland. Catch a glimpse of the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire cat and come face-to-face with the Queen of Hearts herself.

It doesn’t matter what age you are, you probably know that Olaf is the name of a loveable snowman. Disneyland has created Olaf’s Snow Fest at the Adventure Park so you can experience Arendelle yourself and give Olaf a warm hug. Build a snowman with real snow, slide down a snow slide, sing songs or simply “chill” with the fam at this awesome Disneyland park attraction.

For another all-ages experience, travel under the sea on the Little Mermaid ride – Ariel’s Undersea Adventure in Disney Adventure Park. Take a seat inside a giant clamshell where you’ll enter Ariel’s world for a bit of mermaid fun. This slow ride will allow you to catch a glimpse of Ariel, Eric, Sebastian, Ursula and more.

Ahoy, matey! This ride may seem a little scary to small ones, so keep that in mind as you board a barge to experience Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square. Float through a shadowy grotto and sing along with the pirates as they belt out their favorite song, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho!” Secret treasure, Jack Sparrow and more await you on this adventure.

The Astro Orbiter is another fun ride for all ages. Climb into your own rocket ship to soar among orbiting planets. You’ll ascend high above Tomorrowland for a view you and your family will never forget.

Every princess at heart will enjoy exploring Sleeping Beauty Castle in Fantasyland. In addition to following winding passageways and staircases, you’ll see 3-D displays depicting the tale of Princess Aurora and Maleficent. During the holidays, the castle is draped in snow and ice. The castle, which was inspired by a real Bavarian castle, first opened to the public in 1957.

When you need a little rest but still want to see the sights, climb aboard the Disneyland Railroad for a 1.2-mile scenic tour of Disneyland at a relaxing pace. The vintage train offers stops at New Orleans Square, Tomorrowland, Mickey’s Toontown and Main Street, so you and the family can enjoy the ride and hop off anywhere you like relaxed and ready for more Disneyland adventures.

These are just a few suggestions for Disneyland park attractions for the whole family. Visit the Disneyland website for more info and ticket prices.
