Busch Gardens Williamsburg Attractions for 2 year olds!

We took Presley and Noah to Busch Gardens this past Saturday to celebrate their birthday. I was a little concerned that they were too young to go and it wouldn't be worth the money. So I did a little research of what they could do before we went... and there is actually a whole lot a 2 year old can do! Having this with me at the park was very helpful! We had a blast (I will write more about this later) and it was so worth the money! 

There are a lot more rides that toddlers can ride once they are 36 inches tall, my 2 year olds are about 33 inches tall (will get official height at their 2 year appointment later this week!)... I did a little research and some kids hit 36 inches by 30 months and most toddlers are 36 inches by 3 years. So some 2 years olds depending on their height will be able to ride additional not mentioned rides.
