About

Erth's DINOSAUR ZOO Live™ takes you on a tour through pre-historic Australia, bringing an eye-popping array of ancient creatures to life on stage. You will observe and interact with extraordinarily life-like creatures, just like those that inhabited the Southern Hemisphere millions of years ago. Meet a menagerie of insects, mammals and dinosaurs in their ancient environment, in this highly imaginative, entertaining and educational live show. From the sweetly curious baby Dryosaur, to the peaceful hulk Titanosaur, and even the teeth-gnashing T-rex -- Erth's DINOSAUR ZOO Live™ is a unique interactive theater performance that stimulates the imagination in a way that connects children to their world. Erth's large-scale puppets were developed in consultation with paleontologists, based on current science and interpretations of fossil evidence. Employing sophisticated design and electronics, these giants are brought to life by skilled performers and puppeteers, made all the more real through the magic of theatre.

    They looked so real!

    by Anonymous on 4/2/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I have 7 going on 8 year old twins, a girl and a boy. During the show, I was told multiple times that they loved me for bringing them to the show. The show was interactive, educational and a whole lot of fun for everyone!

    by PleasedNonny on 4/2/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I took my 4 grandchildren (ages 8, 8, 6, and 5) to see this performance and they absolutely loved it. One called it the most awesome show ever. Amazing puppets, very educational, and hilariously funny.

    Erth's Zoo was okay

    by miamileif on 4/1/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Very short for the money. Less than 1 hour. Didn't show much of dinosaur's that were different. Did show Bugs and Birds that was very interesting. The show just gets you involved and its over. Not worth the money.

    Erth's Dinosaur was way too short.

    by GRIZZ1313 on 4/1/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    This performance was well done but certainly was also much too short. A child from 3 to 8 years old would have found this very entertaining but any child over 8 would have thought it to be childish.

    Dinosaurs! RAWR!

    by rawrgrrr37 on 4/1/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    This show was excellent for my 3 year old and his attention span. It moved along at a decent pace for him and he really got into it by the end. He had no desire to be one of the kids up on the stage (unless you count the baby dinosaurs - he wanted a closer look at those!). The staff of Erth's Dinosaur Zoo kept the fun facts coming, but yet there was enough snark that the parent's were also entertained. All in all, two thumbs up from this family!

    too short

    by M1chigan on 4/1/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    My grandson loved it but I thought it was a little short. Expected 90 minutes or so not just 60 minutes. Good, well done show but too short.

    Show was very good, VIP was a waste

    by JimNo on 4/1/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    My son and I were excited to do the VIP and get close to "some of the dinosaurs" as it stated was part of the VIP experience. We were able to see only 1 dinosaur in person and there was kids and parents all over the place trying to see just that one. Kids could see behind the curtains and knew other were back there but were not allowed to go near them or take pictures, which was a crock because when the show started, they announced pictures and filming are ok, just no flashes. The VIP was also only 30 minutes, not nearly enough for the free for all that took place. Then you have 30 minutes to sit around and wait for the show. The show itself was excellent. Some of it a little over the heads of the kids but Jackson did a great job of keeping the kids entertained and the parents laughing. I would recommend the show in a second but don't waste a penny on the VIP experience.

    Expensive, but kids loved it

    by LDK33 on 3/31/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The puppeteering in the show was wonderful, and it was educational as well. Both of my children, ages 2 and 6, loved it. However, the tickets were really expensive, and if the seats aren't in the first few rows, the children feel left out. While my kids still had a great time, I was sorry that I paid so much money and the fun stopped two rows ahead of us. Bottom line: if you want to go, make sure that you are in the first few rows.

    Erth's Dinosaur Zoo was amazing

    by Geezy34 on 3/29/14Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    It was so amazing and fun. I loved how real the dinosaurs looked and how they integrated the audience into the show. My son had the best time ever. They pulled him up on the stage during the show to interact with the T-Rex. I would recommend this show to anybody.
