We were relieved to find that his urge to jump and dance was easily accommodated in a theatre environment filled with other enthusiastic children.

Location and Timing

While parking was a bit expensive, the convenience it offered, along with the opportunity to let our son play and grab a bite to eat in the mall before the show, made it worth it. Opting for the 4 pm showing allowed us to align with nap times and plan our day effortlessly.

Booster Seats and Snacks Upon entering the theatre, we were greeted by a spacious corridor where we could purchase tickets and show-related toys. Snacks were readily available, but we brought our son's favourites to keep him entertained.

As the theme music began to play, the audience fell into silence, and the excitement from the toddlers filled the air. Our son's face was filled with amazement throughout the show. Watching him count the birds, dance to the music, and wave at his favoritefavourite characters brought us immense joy. The show was not only entertaining for the children but also allowed adults to experience the magic through their child's eyes.

Conveniently located bathrooms, on-site food options, and helpful staff members made our visit comfortable and enjoyable.
