My 4 year old really loved it and it was so lovely to get back to theatres. My 20 month old also came with us and he did enjoy it but think he was maybe a little too young to enjoy it for 55 mins. They did recommend 3+ so I did expect it. The staff were super helpful and let us move to another seat when the one I booked wasn't ideal for us.
