We have a tall, but young (and chicken) 6-year old who will be over 48", and a short (also chicken) 4 year old who will be 35" or so. They’re best friends.
- Will both boys be allowed to play at Tike’s Peak together, even though the older is over 48"? (He’s about 49")
- Will we be allowed to play at Ski Patrol Training with our 6-year-old (i.e. go down the slides behind him)? Will the 4 year old be allowed to go there?
- Will the older guy be able to wear a lifejacket for all of the Ski Patrol Training areas at Blizzard Beach?
- Anything else we should know about BB with little kids? Is Typhoon Lagoon a better choice?
Based on our experiences:
- Taller kids on their own are sometimes asked to leave but as he is with a friend it should be OK. Be warned, it is easy to lose sight of them in Tike’s Peak if you are on your own!
- Everyone is able to play at Ski Patrol and go on the slides or get in the water to help - we have been in a group with ages 4 to 70 and never had a problem. The only item with real height restrictions in Ski Patrol is a zip wire - 4 year old is probably too small and adults are not allowed.
- There are life jackets available in many sizes and I saw children wearing them almost everywhere. Not sure about using them on the zip wire.
- My DD has loved BB from age 4 (now 7), especially the lazy river and Ski Patrol. The Teamboat Springs ride that we can do as a family is the favourite, and this is why we go to BB rather than TL.

Thank you so much! That answers all my questions perfectly! 
There is also a tube slide towards the back of the park…Runoff Rapids. You can either ride a single tube or pick a double tube. The double would allow you to ride with your son. Toboggan racers is also a favorite of our two boys (8 and 4). No entry into the water, just a fun downhill slide.
