I don'r know if you are going during the busy season but.... my kids were in tears because of the races! They didn't have enough brooms for all the kids and it was very disorganized! Personally, I think they should do a race for the "older" kids and another for the little ones. Some of the contestants were about 14 years old! and they practically trampled my toddler! They did try to make it harder for the older ones by having them turn their brooms around- when the hula hoopla started, once again, since my kids are not aggressive- they missed out on getting any. After the contest, another mom noticed my teary eyed daughter and gave her son's hoop to her- but the gummi worms were being handed out and my daughter knew the thing was over. Basically, just know that if you want your child to participate- get them the broom or hoop yourself (and fast) and then watch them closely!
Good Luck!
