What makes it 77% Kids-Friendly: Child tickets, animal pats and stunt action delight ages up to 12, yet high sound levels, strobe lighting and no play zone can overwhelm sensitive children; ear muffs advised.

Positives:

  • Family-friendly menu: Kids get a dedicated three-course meal with familiar dishes.
  • Accessible seating: Wide rows and wheelchair options make it easy with strollers left in cloak room.
  • Live animals on stage: 4 dogs, 30 cows and 60 horses add a hands-on feel to the performance.

Challenges:

  • Loud audio & strobes: Cinema-level volume and strobe lights may unsettle sensitive kids.
  • No stroller access in arena: Store prams in cloak room then carry toddlers to seats.
  • Strict show times: Doors close on time; late entry may miss pre-show activities.

This was a huge highlight of our trip to Australia. The meal was fantastic and the show was absolutely brilliant. So well put together and an excellent experience! The free hats to wear and keep were a great bonus!

I'm a caucasian Aussie, but have never really considered myself a "true blue Aussie", as it were. Yet even I enjoyed this dinner-with-a-show immensely.

There was an in...

Very well done, with a story that connects it all. Excellent graphics a...
