Walking With Dinosaurs Rrrrroaring Review!
January 14th, 2009 by Melaniejust got back from opening night at walking with dinosaurs and i have one word……BIG! big teeth, big stage, big roars, big fun! the “wow” factor on this show is off the charts! when they say this show is BIG they mean it! from nose to tail the biggest of the big is 36 feet high and 56 feet long!
my favorite part of watching this show was the audience. every time a new creature would enter the arena everyone would “ooh” and “aah”. (including the adults) the kids responses were absolutely classic! here are some of the best quotes i heard: “mama! is that one gonna eat that other one?”, “can they come up here and get US?” and finally, the little boy sitting next to my daughter said, “t-rexes are only boys!” my daughter’s response to him, “no they aren’t! else how could they have a BABY t-rex in the show? only girls have babies!” (that’s my girl! settin’ things straight wherever she goes)
back to the review: a paleontologist introduces you to 15 different dinos throughout the night. some are “nice plant eaters” and others are “mean meat eaters” (that’s how a 7yr old described dinos to me) they are all life size and look uh-may-zing! the shows look, feel, sound and size guarantees you a RRRRROARING good time!
even the PLANTS were impressive! coming from someone who makes props, i loved the plants. they were inflatable! whenever they added to the storyline, beautiful plants would inflate around the stages edge. from palm trees to flowers, they filled the stage with color. MAN! i wish i could plant those in MY yard! company drops in for a bbq? no worries. just flip the switch and you’ve got a landscaped backyard with no weeds!
back to the review (2nd attempt): the show was educational, eye catching and great for all ages. very young children might cover their ears during the MAMA T-Rex roars but they’ll be smiling the entire time! i wanted to share all of my families favorite parts, but i don’t want to spoil anything for you. i will tell you the baby t-rex steals the show! love him!
final review………GO SEE THIS SHOW BEFORE IT’S EXTINCT!!!!!

This show sounds like so much fun. I would love to go in fact I looked up the tickets today and holy cow!! The cheapest is $27.50 and you have to pay for a two year old. Can’t really afford that. hopefully next time!
