Waste of time and money

<p>My family of four bought tickets (Early bird) to The Dino Expo for Sunday 26 February at Nasrec. </p> <p>At R100 per ticket (excluding the R30 parking fee and the drive to and from Vanderbijlpark), this “Dino Expo” was by far the biggest disappointment and a total waste of money.</p> <p>I am of the opinion that “The Dino Expo” was falsely advertised with words like awe-inspiring, mesmerizing, heightens the emotions and intimately indulges the senses. (Oh please – you set the standard very low if you think this) </p> <p>The entire setup looks like a cheaply put together expo. It does not by any means look like the organizers put fourth an effort to have a professional (or even and educational ) exhibition. The signage outside looked like a last minute print job someone did at home. </p> <p>The display case (with fossils) was a sad effort to say the least. Some of the “dinosaurs” where broken/ the molding was torn and one was even wrapped with a cloth (not very life like if you ask me). </p> <p>The activation area for children is nothing more than a bunch of fair-like activities. I would hardly call a small sandpit with an employee s****ing at the sand a themed children’s edutainment activities that will engage the young ones at mental, emotional and physical levels. We walked straight past and left (there weren’t even lines). </p> <p>I am always keen to take my family on educational trips, museums etc. I have visited enough Exhibitions, museums in my life to know with absolute cer*****y that what we experienced on Sunday was a far cry from a “awe-inspiring, mesmerizing or educational”. </p> <p>I feel done in by the company who put this Exhibition up and would hope that other people don’t make the mistake of supporting them.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
