The Dinosaur World Festival - Would not recommend.

Listen, I don't normally do this, but thought I'd spare some people the effort of going to this event. I spent close to R1,700 on this whole thing and it was a total waste of time and money! Firstly, they are not transparent about what you're paying for. We bought the Gold Tickets and I specifically sent them an email a week prior to ask what we're allowed to do at the event. The information I received did not align with the rules at the event. We were not allowed to do Section A and B , we had to pick between the two, but the couple that came in after us were allowed to do both even though we all had Gold Tickets. The information on facebook is that a 10 month old doesn't have to pay entrance fee, but my brother had to pay an entrance fee for his 4 month old baby. Really? 4 months old? Baby slept through the entire thing. I think even the staff are confused and don't know what's going on most of the time. The Cherry on top is that you pay R100-R200 for a ride which only lasts for like 5 minutes (that's me trying not to exaggerate, because it felt like only 2 minutes). The food was ridiculously expensive as well. The only nice thing about this whole event was the actual Dino Exhibition, but half of the animatronix weren't even working. So no, 100% would not recommend!
