Reviews
Excellent Customer Service and a fun show!Madelyn_M
We enjoyed the show. It was informative and fun. Some reviewers complain that the show is too "touristee", however, it gave us a better understanding and an appreciation for the sport. Additionally, my husband and I ended up at the wrong location so we were 30 minutes late. The front desk person was very accommodating and changed our reservation to the next show time. Overall, the event exceeded our expectations! Enjoy!
Great entertaining show. The audience participation was a lot of fun. Would highly recommend the show

The experience was so much but be careful, when you put the location on, the sponsored ad shows up rather than the main location. We lost 30 min of the show but the host was so understanding and accommodating and allowed us in for the remainder of the show. Very entertaining and a must for the bucket list.
