Walking with the Dinosaurs

Where 21st Century Puppetry Meets the Cretaceous Period

By Edited by Eileen Diener, written by Jean Greaves July 10, 2014
Travel back in time 160 million years to an era when dinosaurs ruled the earth.  Walking with the Dinosaurs presented at the Barclays Center is an educational and entertaining show for all ages.  From the Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous period, the show takes you on a journey detailing how the changing earth influenced the evolution of the dinosaurs.
Narrated by a paleontologist, the viewer is introduced to raptors, pterosaurs, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Torosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus and the giant Tyrannosaurus rex.  The dinosaurs are incredibly life-like and visually stunning.  The sound effects are equally impressive contributing to the overall realistic performance.  Throughout the show, there are several tense scenes depicting roaring dinosaurs sparing.  The favorite part of the show in our family hands down was the T. Rex mother and baby.
Overall, the two hour performance was incredible and the entire family enjoyed it.  Contributing to the experience was the show location.  The Barclays was easy to get to by taking the LIRR, clean and every seat offered an excellent view.  The show is in town until July 20th, you would be lucky to obtain a ticket for yourself and family!
