Took the oldest boy to see Walking with Dinosaurs tonight. Very impressive and we both really enjoyed it. The dinos themselves are very cool but they make it pretty interesting by providing facts about the earth as well as the dinosaurs that existed during each time period.

If you have kids, especially boys, I highly recommend it.

My daughter loves dinosaurs, but has no idea she is even going on Saturday. Her birthday is on Friday, so it's a surprise gift. We have her convinced that they're real, so everything the commercial comes on she kind of freaks out.

We're taking my 3-year old boy Sunday. He'll probably be scared, but we'll see how it goes. Were there a lot a people at the shows you guys have gone to? Just curious.

There were quite a few people there Wednesday night, even in the upper deck where I sat - $25 tickets.

Is the upper deck still good seating to this thing? Sometimes upper deck can actually be better. Sometimes it sucks.

I didn't have a problem with the upper deck, but I can't give you a comparison to the lower deck to know which is better. They make sure to have the dinos move around to all areas of the arena floor and hang out for awhile so every side gets a good view.

I think anyone would enjoy this show. Young children may get a little scared by the loud noises. Upper level are not bad seats for this because of the size of the dinosaurs. The show also moves a little slowly for kids who might be use to "Disney on Ice" or that kind of thing. They give you lots of time to take in the dinosaurs. I thought it was a very good crowd for a Wednesday night show.

we were in the 2nd row and it was amazing. We could almost reach out and touch them and you really get an appreciation for just how big these things are. The detail was amazing and even from that close up, the movements were genuine. I say it is well worth it to spend the money to get close.

We're going Saturday morning. We have a 4yo girl and 3 yo boys. Tickets for five were expensive enough that I really hope the show holds everyone's attention. My wife bought the TV series on DVD, and the kids have really enjoyed watching them.
