Mama of L.A. Review
I have to say that I was disappointed with this exhibit. There are quite a few "stations" for kids to interact with, but it felt like they were just placed in an open room. There was really no flow to the exhibit, kids and parents just running to where they wanted to go. Also, the point of the exhibit was to teach kids about the body and I didn't see how any of this was accomplished. Sure the games included jumping, kicking, pressing buttons and more, but with a loud noise level it was hard to hear much of what the game voices were trying to teach the kids.

The highlights of the exhibit are a short obstacle course with padded mats and the "Hoopers store" where kids use baskets to collect plastic health food options. Other than that, not much stood out. My daughter definitely didn't have a favorite part, which tells me something.

Overall, skip the exhibit and save the money to go to a live show.

Extra Tips: The exhibit is in the kodak theater with restaurants, so grab a bite before or after. Definitely reserve tickets online before you go, the room gets to capacity quickly.
