Bub & Me: Erth's Dinosaur Zoo & Win KidsFest 2015 Hampers + {Promo}

Last Sunday, we went to catch one of the KidsFest 2015 productions - Erth's Dinosaur Zoo at the School of the Arts {SOTA}. We always pass by SOTA on our way to Plaza Singapura or the National Museum, but never entered before.

SOTA is Singapore’s first national pre-tertiary specialised arts school to offer a 6-year unique integrated arts and academic curriculum for youths aged 13-18 years old.

The campus was pretty big and impressive, and I liked the theatre where we saw the show. Much more spacious and welcoming than the DBS Arts Centre where we caught the Horrible Histories Awful Egptians show last year. Maybe because it's newer? I hope that all future KidsFest shows will be shown here as well haha. It is a comfortable and convenient venue.

Erth's Dinosaur Zoo offered the perfect mix of live entertainment, learning, daring and all round fun for all in the family. The show doesn't depict a story about dinosaurs, rather, it had more of a "show-and-tell" format where the audience could observe and interact with these extraordinary dinosaurs in a highly imaginative live show.

The show is direct from Australia, so the cute baby dinos and teeth-gnashing giants featured were mainly those found on the Australian continent millions of years ago {aka Gordwanaland} when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Except for a special guest - the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is from the U.S.!

Lil Pumpkin was highly engrossed in the show and wanted badly to go on stage to get up-close and personal with the creatures. However, so did many other kids and sadly she didn't have a chance to. Luckily after the show, they brought out the baby dinos outside the theatre for the kids {and parents!} to pet and admire. 

Though it is very obvious that the dinosaurs aren't real and are operated by humans, they do look pretty life-like, even when close-up. These puppets could definitely fool the small kids easily with their convincing movements and certainly fueled every child's curiosity and amusement.

The boy and I were very impressed with the guy host {can't remember his name!} who was really witty and humorous. A typical Aussie bloke, his friendly nature appealed to both the kids and adults, and he introduced each dinosaur in such a fun, simple, yet educational manner, that even a 3 year-old could catch what he's saying easily.

I think this is a show all dino-lovers should not miss but unfortunately, Erth's Dinosaur Zoo has ended its run in Singapore this year. They might be back next year though, so look out for that and don't miss the other KidsFest 2015 family shows like Princess & The Pea and Hugless Douglas which would still be running for the next few weeks until 1 March 2015. Find out more about them here.
