This review is for the Children's Puppet Show only.
We went to the Canyon Condor'sPuppet Show with a group of mommies and kiddies. First of all, I love the fact that they've restored a historical church building. I was in awe of the massive wooden arcs that are pocket doors that open up to the puppet theatre. The ceiling is also made out of wood that had intricate details of what seems to be wood inserts and/or ornate paintings.
The main puppeteer lead the children for some interactive song as part of an introduction. Great idea since the show is about an hour long!
The story is about Baby Boo Condor's learning all about his Condor ancestors that live in the Grand Canyon and how they are still an endangered species to this day. The puppeteers really know how to captivate their young audience. Lots of laughter and oohs and ahhs is a sign of a good time.
They also offer a backstage pass that takes you to behind the scenes (stage) and make your own puppet! That is a must for little kiddos! So worth the extra $2.
The gift shop is also a museum of marionnettes and puppets from around the world aside from the puppets you can buy for yourself.
It's a hit! We will definitely be back for more shows!
