I agree with a previous post. If I could give this event negative stars, I would. I went to this event yesterday in Providence, RI, and it was a huge disappointment and a waste of money. My mother and I only went because my 4-year-old nephew loves dinosaurs, but the long lines took the excitement right out of the day, and we went RIGHT when it opened to avoid this. Not only was it extremely expensive for the 3 of us to get IN to the event ($65, plus tax), but the "rides" weren't anything extravagant and so many things such as face painting and mining costed extra money on top of our admission! We waited almost 30 minutes in line to get on the bouncy houses, where the children were allowed only 10 minutes to bounce on the 6 house/slide options. I decided to sit on one of the chairs provided for families to watch my nephew, and happened to overhear one of the workers whisper to another that they were going to cut the 10 minutes short because the line was building up... how unprofessional! We waited long enough to get on the stupid "attraction," then you're telling us to get back in line again after 6 minutes? No thank you. Also, we waited about 45 minutes for my nephew to ride on the electronic dinosaur that rocks back and forth, only to have it last about 30 seconds and for him to get off and get back in line again. Scavenger hunt sheets were provided at the beginning of the exhibit and small prizes were rewarded at the exit... yet there were no writing utensils to fill the sheet out (sorry, but not everyone carries a pen on them) so my nephew had to miss out on that experience. Here's the kicker... we had to pay an extra $5 for my nephew's ticket so he could get a wristband to go on the "extra" attractions, but THEN, the incompetent workers weren't even checking for wristbands and letting every child walk through the gates to participate. I would love a refund for that. They definitely need to hire smarter, more efficient workers, or reduce their admission prices because the entire event was a huge rip-off and we will not be returning or suggesting this to our family and friends with children. Their money will be better spent somewhere else. read more
