not good
by wren73 on 3/30/14garrett coliseum - montgomeryI would not go again. So you want to make sure you buy tickets for the event ahead of time to save $5. It cost $20 at the door. Parking at our coliseum here in Montgomery was $5. Now be aware that you must also pay for tickets to do the gem mining, panning, geode cutting and face painting for the price of $2 per ticket or12 for $20. There was not enough employees and all of them but two were extremely rude or just plain embarrassing. The gem mining guy and the older checkout girl at the gift shop were very nice. They ran out of gem mining sand to pan with at 2:30. The event closed at 6. The face painting girl cut off the line to take a 30 min. break around 3 and there was not a backup. She said she had not had a break all day.The fairy garden looks like dolls dressed up and was a total of 12 feet long. No fairys dressed up for the kids as advertised on the website. There was a spongebob. Of course not sure what he had to do with dinosaurs or dragons. The animatronic dinos were okay but not worth the price. The inflatable attractions were were very nice, great for the kids. We spent a total of $135 for 4 people.
