Catch the Final Performances of #DinosLiveCLE at @TheQArena Before They Become Extinct! #sponsored

We were provided with tickets to the opening night performance to facilitate this post. Opinions are my own and this is not a paid endorsement.

When we were asked if we would like to see Walking with Dinosaurs Live, I must admit I was not all that excited. Baby girl on the other hand was beside herself and my son, who is older and wiser than his sister could not imagine how good it could be since they were not real dinosaurs and that they are extinct.

All that changed when we walked into the Q Arena and saw the simple but massive set. The massively glowing teeth was enough to convince me this was not just mechanical dinosaurs.

Once the show started, I started to feel like we were being sent back in time and I was pretty mesmerized by Andrew Blackman's Australian accent. He plays Huxley the paleontologist and he guides us thought the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods. It was awe-inspiring to experience our world, new, and all of the amazing things it went through to be the world we see now.

The show also pulled at the heart strings sharing the joys, triumphs, and sadness that the dinosaurs must have experienced. The show successfully brought to life the wonder of the massive creatures gone so very long ago and it was certainly enough to capture the imagination of my oldest who was a lot less critical of seeing a show with "robot dinosaurs."

There is still time! Don't let this opportunity pass you by - who knows when the dinosaurs will be walking in Cleveland again!
