We had a blast at the show. Will's favorite vehicle was the El Toro. Madison like Medusa (because there was a woman driver) and Grave Digger. I happened to like the Zombie truck. I can only recommend attending Monster Jam!

    So we took our boys last year and they loved it but for our 5 year old it was too long, the wait in between races was not fun. But otherwise a little boys dream come true.

    I have never been to a Monster Jam before! Something tells me that my little boys might like it!

    My almost 2 year old lost the sound of motor cycles and cars and he loves making the noise when he’s moving something or in the cart at the grocery store. I wonder if this would freak him out or if he would be super excited. 🙂

    My kids would love to see cars get crushed! The Zombie car looks so cool, and powerful!
