took my 1 year old, I would reccomend baby wearing instead of a stroller, the crowds make a little hard to see, baby wearing you can get up real close for your little one, also you can get everything done in about 2 to 3 hours. ny son loved it for his 1st birthday

Good and it was really interesting that you can actually colour fishes or sharks and it appears on the screen and people will be able to see your art work and I really liked the theatre when we got to see a amazing presentation and I really loved all the fishes and shark and everything else.
