Tips, experiences, stories? We just got tickets for our son who will be 3 by Christmas. The show will be here in January though so debating not even telling him until the day before (instead of on Christmas)? We got decent seats. Anything to know? Have you gone? Did the kiddos love it??

I hate to say this, but it was the worst money we've spent to date. We took two 4 year olds and even THEY said the show was bad. All of my local mom boards said every showing was not well done, so I'm inclined to say it wasn't just us. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Potentially if they were younger they might have enjoyed it more? They had great seats and everything. It just wasn't anything special.

My kids liked the show and had fun, it was the first show like that they've seen in person so they thought it was really cool - they were just turned 3 and 5 when we went - the 3 year old did need some breaks to walk around the theater. My one tip is that it was SO LOUD! My oldest is sensitive to loud sounds so we luckily had brought both of their noise muffling headphones and I was so glad I did because it was loud even for me as a grown up! So if you have any type of headphone or even ear muffs or something it might be worth throwing in your bag just in case!

We went last year, my son was almost three when we took him. We didn't tell him until the day of or the day before since he has zero concept of time. It wasn't terrible. I mean, it's a paw patrol show so it was basically what I expected it to be. Our son really loved it and stood and stared in awe the whole time. They sell a lot of shiny, light up overpriced paw patrol junk so be prepared your son to ask for that.

We bought tickets forever ago for next month but now I’m a bit discouraged to see these replies! DS is almost 4 and isn’t as into paw patrol now (of course!) but we wanted to try one of these shows to see what he thought. Thankfully the tickets weren’t too expensive!

My son loved it! We went twice - once when he was about 2.5 and once at 3.5. He loved it equally both times and in the entire year between the first and 2nd, he kept asking to go back.
We got him a t shirt and there was this awful Chase spinning light up thing. But it was his first live show and he was so excited.
I wouldn’t be discouraged by some of the replies. The majority of moms I’ve spoken with (and kids I’ve witnessed there) loved it. We plan on going each year till he says he’s not interested. -
@LadyDi: agree with waiting to tell them till right before. My son is 4 and still doesn’t really get time. If I tell him we’re doing something too early, he’ll ask every single day if it’s here yet. Holidays are the worst right now
he’s been asking about halloween for about 2 months.

@SweetiePie: So true. My son asks when his birthday is once a week 🤦♀️
-
@SweetiePie: Ahh good! Thank you!!
-
@muffinsmuffins: Hahahaha come back and let me know after you go!
-
@LadyDi: Totally. I’ve already factored plastic junk into the total cost
-
@HappyBaker: Very good tip. Thank you. I got some for last July 4 so I will take them!
-
@wrkbrk: lol my 4yo has his bday in September. Like 2 weeks later he asked if it was his birthday again yet and full on cried when I said it was still really far away since he just had one.
-
@LBee: Ok interesting! Is that because the parents didn’t like it or because the kids didn’t?? We didnt spend a TON but it was about $150 for our 3 tickets so I’m hoping it’s not a complete disaster
-
@wrkbrk: I would recommend not getting there too early. We went to. Daniel tiger show with our then 2 or 2.5 yo and the waiting before the show was the worst part
-
@gotkimchi: Good point. Noted!!
-
We’re going in November for a birthday party. I’m still so excited. My kid is 3 and watches nothing else. Haha
-
@wrkbrk: it won’t be a disaster! I think we all (kids included) had too high of expectations. It’s just a live version of an episode of the show. Ours were like $90 a ticket and it kind of seemed like my 4 year old would have equally enjoyed just an extra hour of watching paw patrol at home
-
@LBee: Ahhh that makes sense. I’ve never seen Disney on ice or any other live show and neither has he so maybe it’s good we’re starting with this one
-
We went earlier this year. lo2 is 2.5 and is obsessed with Chase. We took LO1 to Frozen on ice at that age and it was truly fun. She sang the songs and it was done really well. Paw patrol was just okay. Besides the theme songs there isn’t songs you’re familiar with (like Frozen) but they sang lots of songs and so it’s just listening to it. I would go to another Disney on ice snow but not Paw Patrol Live even though he’s still obsessed. I also think he was confused bc you can see the actors in the dog costumes.
I actually went on amazon and bought a light up toy that spins. It was $8 and I pulled it out at the show. Don’t cost me like $25 or however they were selling it for
-
@misolee: Thanks for your response! I’m
Hoping my expectations won’t be too high since I’ve never seen Disney or another love show haha. -
@wrkbrk have fun! I also went to target and picked up a cheap Paw Patrol shirt and that was a hit!
