Walking with Dinosaurs

Went to this show with three other adults and I thought it was great. We were the only people there without children.
The dinosaurs are wonderful. It really helped that they used a paleontologist to give you a reference scale. We were only a few rows up but it can distort your idea of how big they are. When you compare the dinosaur to the paleontologist, you really appreciate how big the dinosaurs are.
I think the best seats are directly in front or slightly to the sides. When you are on the side closer to the stage, you can’t see all the graphic on the screen.
The dinosaurs move around a lot so you get a good look at them no matter where you sit.

Excellent show in terms of educational and entertainment value. My son who is in to dinosaurs and wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up thoroughly enjoyed the show and was naming the dinosaurs as they came out. The host was excellent introducing various types of dinosaurs, building up the suspense (fight scenes, change in the earth’s landscape, etc) and kept a good pace. An hour and forty minutes went by really quick. I highly recommend this show for dinosaur lovers.

The show lasted 1 hour and 10 minutes and 4 tickets for my family cost $ 280. You do the math. The kids enjoyed the show. It was pleasant not scary and it was unique. We had fun, about $ 100 worth of fun but not $ 300 of fun. The whole thing was a big money grab. They charged about 3 times what it was worth. And the ticketmaster seats on the side were lousy. We ended up moving. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY THE CHEAP SEATS AND MOVE DOWN. Its not sold out anyway. Stay away from the vendors stands. More overpriced stuff that you can get on ebay. For the money, we expected a solid two hour show, similar to a movie. Instead we got 2×35 minute halves with an intermission. GREED is the only excuse. Send these chaps back to the UK.

Watching life-​size dinosaurs come to life was awe-​inspiring, more so for my husband and I than for the 8 and 13 year old niece and nephew we brought with us. The only thing we wished for (which I am sure is a very complicated request — is more action. The host/​narrator would talk about how predators attacked, but the giant robots could only go forward and backwords.
The only other dissapointment was with Goldstar deceptive ticket selling practices, so don’t use them. I was led to believe that we would have $ 51 seats, and instead we got $ 25 seats and paid $ 27 for the priviledge.

There is no feeling like it — that inner excitement you get when surrounded by wonderment and awe when experiencing something in the eyes of a child. Walking with Dinosaurs: The Experience is just that. I felt like I was 10 years old visiting the Laurence Hall of Science back in the day, my first sights and sounds of how Dinosaurs might be like — except it was so much more.
I heard about this show when it made its way to San Jose the first time around, and I was skeptical. I didn’t really understand why someone my age would want to go see something that’s targeted to children. But in hearing all the good things people had to say about this show, I had to experience it for myself. I was not disappointed.
The show was about an hour and and half with a 15 – 20 minute intermission, but time literally flew. There was never a dull moment. The narrator was engaging, which I would think is kind of hard to be for an audience of a few thousand. The dinosaurs were… well dinosaurs, how could they not be amazing? I mean they were huger than HUGE, if that is even big enough to describe them. The baby T-​rex was taller than the narrator (a grown man), and that was the smallest dino that appeared in the show. The show told a story and used simple but effective visuals such and lighting, video screens and moving props to guide you along the story line through the different periods of dino history.
I really don’t want to give too much away because I recommend that everyone experience this show for themselves. You will laugh, ooohhh and ahhhh like any kid in the audience, I sure did.
