They let all the kids sit in front, and crush the turtle picks children out of the audience to talk to, addresses them by name................then takes questions and answers them, it is funny to watch the kids faces when he repeats their name and says Yo Dude! Both of my kids got to talk to crush during our trip in Nov. I suggest getting there early, the line gets kind of long,but worth the wait. And there are lots of things to see in the living seas, one parent can wait in line while the other takes the kids around to look.
