I had the same thoughts when we went over the summer - to skip this one. I had told my DD (who just turned 5 on the trip) about it before hand so she had an idea of what to expect. From there, we took our cue from her. When we got there, she insisted on seeing this. She wanted to see the butterfly curtain & feel the "tickle bugs" inside the seat. She LOVED it! The only part she didn't like was the smell of the stink bug, LOL!! We ended up seeing it a couple of times. I don't remember any kids screaming/crying/being taken out of the theater.
