Disclosure: Mama Smith’s Review Blog received tickets to Monster Jam 2015 from Feld Motor Sports in exchange for her honest review. All opinions expressed are 100% hers.

I remember going to see Monster Jam with my father when I was younger. We had so much fun and I was really excited to be able to take my daughters. To be honest, my husband was really skeptical. He thought that they might be too young and it would be too loud for them. I assured him that we could always leave early if they were not having a good time, and so he agreed. Well, I think he has said he was wrong at least a dozen times since last night. We all had a blast! My daughters were practically crying when we told them it was time to leave. Whenever a truck went over a jump, my oldest would stand-up, point to it, and then turn around and ask us if we saw it. My youngest was bouncing around the whole time and clapping at the trucks. She told her grandmother all about it today, saying that some of the trucks fell over, but that they were OK.

Unfortunately, we did arrive a little bit late due to unforeseen circumstances. But we did pull in at about 7:30 (a half hour after it started) and the girls were super excited! Our first stop was at the souvenir stand so we could grab the girls some cool Monster Jam tire earmuffs/headphones. I knew that they had little ear drums and that these would help protect them from the loud noises. They were only $20 each, which I thought was really reasonable, and they loved them! They even wanted to keep wearing them on the drive home, so I knew they were comfortable for little ones. By the time we got to our (awesome) seats, the last race was about to start. I was so happy to see that it was Zombie because that is my 3.5 year old’s favorite truck (I have said before she loves all things creepy, it is so true) – and Zombie won! She was jumping up and down screaming and cheering, it was so cute. Then it was time for intermission, which was fine, so we got settled in to our seats and just talked to the girls about how they were doing. They kept asking to see more of the trucks. I explained to them that next was freestyle so the trucks would be doing cool tricks and jumps.

The freestyle portion was amazing! They girls were so excited about every round. Madusa lost a tire and then her truck caught on fire (but she was OK). A couple of other trucks lost wheels and flipped over. My daughters always asked if the drivers were OK when this happened, which was so sweet of them. They were in awe of the trucks jumping really high and getting good air (and my husband and I thought it was pretty darn cool too). Some of the trucks even did blackflips, which was really amazing to see! My older daughter keeps talking about how Zombie got to do a backflip. Grave Digger did a really cool wheelie and then turned over right in front of us. At the end, Avenger came out and ran another freestyle even though the winner had already been announced (he had done really bad on his run) and he did a backflip and some donuts! Then fireworks ended the show. It was such a good time!

Overall, we had way more fun than I thought we would – and I knew it would be a blast! My daughters keep asking if we can go back today. They were bummed to hear they have to wait a whole year. Last night, the racing winner was Zombie and the freestyle winner was Grave Digger. We will be back next year, that is for sure! Watch for tickets to come available in your area for next year, you do not want to miss out on this – it really is fun for all ages! The World Finals are in Vegas March 26-28 and if you can make it, I highly suggest you go. Grab your tickets here.
