Highly interactive and entertaining! Kept children engaged and laughing! Good pace and flow of the story line, would absolutely see it again.
I just took, last weekend, my 5 year old son to see the Wild Kratts live on stage. The show was great. It was both: instructive and fun. They interacted a lot with the kids in the audience and kept the kids focused on their show. First show in a long time that my son watched from the beginning to the end without getting bored. They also had some marchandise for sale in the lobby and the prices were more down to earth compared others (I took once my son for Toopy & Binou live and the toys sold were extremely expensive).
Grandchildren really enjoyed the live show, they watch the TV version regularly and were delighted to see Chris and Martin in the flesh.
Kids love the show. Bit too much advertising for me in first half.
The Wild Kratts were fun and engaging. My daughter really enjoyed the show.
Both children ages 5 & 7 loved the show and experience. Only dislike was that we saw the Wild Kratts Live in MIssissauga in Dec 2015 and this was the exact same show a year and a half later.
The show was energetic, fun, engaging, and educational. The Kratt brothers have an amazing energy and the kids were so excited. The brothers engaged well with the crowd, and even the technical glitches were given a humorous slant as a creature suit malfunction (and having the kids yell out episodes with other creature suit malfunctions) OF course this is all done with Martin face first in a rhino costume on the floor for about a minute. The story was fun, and as an adult I enjoyed it. My kid was ballistic and had the best time of his life. So there you go! I highly recommend it.
Our seats were moved I guess you could say upgraded as the seats we originally had purchased were being blocked by a curtain so we could only see a small part of the stage. I was thrilled as we were just going to endure it. It was so refreshing to be moved to better seats without even asking, and the seats were amazing. Was very pleased.
So much energy and interacted wroth the audience beautifully. They put on a great show!
I was pretty excited about taking our boys to this live show as they absolutely love the TV show but I'm sad to report they were underwhelmed with the live show. They even had a 20 min intermission - didn't change the set and then came back only to end the show 15 mins later. It was ridiculous making kids wait that long for what? Nothing. The cost of the tickets were quiet expensive especially for what the show was. To be completely honest the show was boring - save your pennies, the TV show is far more entertaining.
The Kratt brothers were awesome but their production team failed! We paid for front row tickets off to the side and our view was completely obstructed by a curtain. Then we were given alternative tickets at the very back of the arena. Finally, after another complaint, we were given decent tickets. Remember: these tickets cost as much as seeing a big rock band! The show was also plagued by a microphone mishap.
The kids were so excited to see the Kratts brothers in person so we spent over 200 dollars on 5 minimum priced tickets which ended up in an area we could only see half the stage. A kind ticket lady let us move to a higher spot so we were happy. The show was a staggering mess. The Kratts brothers seemed totally out of it fumbling their lines and forgetting what came next. Most of the show consisted of a projection screen cartoon and the 2 brothers running out of breath in very cheap looking creature power costumes. Not 1 actual animal was included. They ended the show then yelled oh wait we forgot something. It was a hot mess. Badly produced. Not worth it.
Both my girls (6 & 9) had a blast. Wild Kratts is their favorite TV show and they both loved the show.
For the price of the tickets, this show was disappointing. The live components had a very low budget stage and props, and our 6yo boys weren't too impressed. The live show is probably more suitable for kids ages 3-5 max, which is unfortunate as the TV show seems targets to a school age audience. They also ran out of merchandise before the second show of the day, which was very disappointing to all of this kids. Not well planned.
My 6 year old son had a good time but, unlike other shows that are targeted at kids but are enjoyable by all ages, the content and script do not translate to an older audience. The costume changes were done by turning off the lights and ducking behind a curtain; the integration of live action and the animation was weak. Again, I want to emphasize that my son did enjoy it, but you need to consider that in order to have him attend, we purchased 2 tickets...
We love the Kratts but found the ticket prices to be high for what we got. The kids (8 and 6) liked the show but it could have been a bit more lower cost for a family of 4.
Would see it again and would recommend to a friend. My daughter had a blast. The only thing I'd change is the fact that I saw ppls who I know didn't have VIP tickets sitting in VIP section.
As a whole the Wild Kratt Brother experience was well received by my family of 4 (5 and 3 year old loved it). With general admission we needed to be in the hot sun for an hour before the presentation. (The Zoo helped with an animal information session a meet the animal’s session before the Brothers arrived.) The performance was interactive and funny but short! The Brothers did a 20 minute performance and 10 minute question and answer period but then it was over. I was let down by the length of time the Kratt Brothers performance. Kids were really happy but hey they are not paying it is me. For 20.00 a head a longer performance would have been welcomed.
Pro: some proceeds went to Cystic Fibrosis and it was a beautiful day! Cons: 1/2 show with no animal interaction...disappointing... :( Made the family of 3 day at the zoo VERY expensive! $75 for 3 tickets to see Wild Kratts $80 admission to the zoo $10 parking $35 lunch (burger, wrap, fries, fruit and 3 drinks) $15 for 2 ice creams and a drink Glad we did not go into the gift shop!
Great interactive show that involved the whole audience, not just the first few rows.
