My son was 9 when we went to Hoop Dee Doo last summer and he really enjoyed the show. The humor is really corny and the jokes are very much suited for kids (although most adults enjoy it as well). The CM's from the show go out into the audience so even if you are in the back or at the balcony, you can get a good up close view at some point of the show. One of the gals sang to my DH and I missed the photo op!
We thought the food was pretty good and they give LOTS of it! Fried chicken, BBQ ribs, baked beans, mixed greens, corn bread and they make a big presentation with the strawberry shortcake dessert! Keep your cameras ready and look-out for your waiter!
