The perfect event for my 5 year old grandsons! They were enthralled and engaged!
Second time seeing it. We love it! The first time our son was 3 and it was much more magical than this time with him being 7. But he still loved it!
Took my two grandsons, ages 3 and 6, who are dinosaur aficionados! The six year old narrated the whole show 😁 - so glad it was a very excited child friendly atmosphere! After the adorable baby hatching and the giant T-Rex, who thought those things could be topped! Lo and behold the kids got to pet a velociraptor on the way out of the theater - what a treat!!
We couldn’t see the stage and we had front row seats it was a terrible experience, very sad. The show it’s self started out pretty slow and was good but not spending $200 for 45mins good.
well, I'm an adult so I'm not going to talk about my experience but I'm going to talk about my sons. My son he's 10 years old and he love it. He was jumping up and down in his seat. He was all in the show. He was disappointed he didn't get picked but he was ok with it because at the end he got to pet the little Trex . That made up for him not getting on stage.
Very fun and interactive show. Loved how the kids from the audience were included, and at the end of the show, kids had a chance to pet one of the dinosaurs. The puppets are well done and look great. The show is an hour long, which was perfect for little ones who can’t sit too long. The giant T-Rex was very loud, so kids who are sensitive to sound should wear ear muffs towards the end of the performance before he comes out on stage. Otherwise, it was a wonderful show and the kids enjoyed it, and even parents thought it was well done.
The show was okay, not great but for a kid show good enough. The audio was terrible. The combination of the leads tone of voice with the low audio quality made it very difficult to hear in the back of the house.
The information on this event was very vague on the website. I had emailed Ticketmaster asking if my two-year-old needed a ticket for this event and was never responded to. We arrived at the event and had to leave all of our belongings in the car because we had not brought a clear bag. Which was not posted on the event information. If it had been I would have brought my clear bag from home. When we went to enter the event we were told my son that needed a ticket and actually all children of all ages including a one month old needed a ticket as well. Even if they were going to be sitting in your lap. I had to go purchase a ticket which was not even near ours therefore my son still sat on my lap. I felt this was very shady and should have been placed on the website so people could have planned accordingly. I would have just bought my son a ticket at the same time I bought my own. I felt at this event and this venue took advantage of their customers and I would strongly not recommend anyone wasting their money on this event. The event only lasted 45 minutes from start to finish. Although my two-year-old did enjoy the show I would not recommend anyone else waste their time and money on this event. They were also enforcing Covid testing on children of all ages above two. Considering in California you are not even mandated to wear masks anymore I felt that this was overboard.
Show does not make clear what age group would NOT enjoy the show. Also the COVID 19 testing was a major pain and exaggeration!
We like the show but less expecting it’s short and less attentive. The host tried the best of it but no imagination of linking the atmosphere. Few of characters dinosaur made less interesting. Over all is just alright .
