out of 5 Had a great time visiting for the hot wheels monster truck show with my 5 year old son and my father in law. The venue was clean, safe, and convenient. It was pretty outrageous that they charged $35 for parking though. If you don’t want to pay, what will you do? Just walk half a mile?

We went Friday to see the Hot Weels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party. It was fantastic .We bought tickets and paid xtra 10.00 to see the cars and trucks up close at the arena, 2hrs prior to the show. It was awesome. Nice time for the whole family. Great entertainment, exciting and really nice colorful glow show. Food was just regular, like any other Coliseum, overprice as always . It was pack!!! We had no problems at all, just some fun time . Give it a try.

I purchased a Groupon for the Jurassic Quest “exhibit” at Nassau Coliseum this weekend. The price was reasonable. Parking was easy (just keep in mind there is a parking fee). The security staff was very friendly. Upon entering there is a large area with mechanical dinosaurs. Each “quest spot” had televisions with information about the dinosaurs which was pretty cool. There is an area with more activities which include: bouncy houses, dig stations, Dino arts and crafts, a mini Dino theater. The food options were limited. There was an option of buying an unlimited wrist band which I recommend if you’re child wants to go on or participate in multiple attractions. I feel that this place is tailored more for the 2-8(at most) age group.
