10 things you should pack when you visit these toddler-friendly theme parks during spring break

Pick a park with toddler-friendly rides and attractions for the most fun, and pack these essentials to optimize your adventure.

Traveling to a theme park with a toddler is a big decision that entails lots of planning to get it right. Start small and opt for a less expensive park to take the pressure off needing to create the perfect experience. Planning where to go and what to pack will help you make the most of your experience and keep your toddler happy. 

Some theme parks are better suited for toddlers than others, with attractions targeting a younger audience. Picking a park with toddler-friendly rides and attractions means they can enjoy the day without limit. 

Legoland is one of the top theme parks that caters to young kids (and most adults are sure to enjoy it too). The park does a great job of catering to little riders, and there are no big scary rides that will make your toddler feel left out. There are shows, an assortment of playgrounds and a sandbox where your kid can search for pretend fossils. Plus, with three parks to choose from – Florida, California and New York – you can find a park closest to you. Book a vacation package to build your ultimate Legoland adventure on the theme park's site. You can also find exclusive hotel rates on ShareItTravel's global hotel booking platform to help you budget your trip.

Little "Sesame Street" fans will appreciate a trip to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. Your toddler will love meeting all their favorite characters on the show at the park's meet-and-greets, family shows and special character dining events. There are also many rides for the entire family to enjoy together and a sizable water play area with several water slides, a wave pool and a splash pad. You can also find a hotel with a pool to extend the fun. ShareItTravel's global hotel booking platform has deals you won't see anywhere else.

Nickelodeon Universe has two indoor amusement parks located at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, and American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that will appeal to both the youngest and oldest children in your group. The park has meet-and-greets with some of your toddler's favorite characters from popular shows like "Paw Patrol" or "Dora the Explorer." All of the rides are also themed around these shows. The East Rutherford, New Jersey, location has more than 30 rides and attractions for all ages.
