The How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular made its way to Sacramento last week and we got to attend one of the shows. I had heard good things about the show prior to last week, so I was really excited to be able to see this event myself. My husband, my son, my mother-in-law and I arrived a little early for this show and the parking lot was already getting packed. I told my husband that the show must be good since people were getting there early too. Once we found a parking spot and were inside the arena we found our seats and were all excited for the show to begin.
Before the show, my son got to pick out a souvenir to hold during the show. He chose a Night Fury plush and has been playing with it ever since he got it.
Once the How To Train Your Dragon show started my son was very excited and kept his eyes on the arena floor the whole time. The beginning of the show doesn’t start out with the dragons as I had originally thought it would. It starts with some neat drawings by the vikings on the backdrop that come to life to create a great entrance for the show to begin.
Look at the sneak preview I have created to show you:
Once these beautiful dragons started appearing on the floor, my son was even more excited. In this live show there are 23 flying, fire-shooting, smoke breathing dragons. There is even a big funny looking dragon that likes to toot! Some of these amazing dragons are as tall as 20 feet, as long as 50 feet and have 40 feet wingspans! I enjoyed them all, but really loved watching Toothless, the Night Fury dragon fly through the air. I only had my cell phone but was able to get some neat pictures of some of the dragons.

I thought it was neat being able to see my son so interested in the show. He will be 5 this month and these types of shows don’t always keep him entertained. When it was time for intermission, my son kept asking when the show was going to come back on, not if we were going home yet. I thought it was pretty funny though when we were walking to the car, my son tells us “You know those were costumes, don’t you?”.
For those that haven’t seen the movie How To Train Your Dragon, here is the show’s synopsis to give you a little more information about the show:
An original captivating story set in the mythical world of Vikings and wild dragons. Based on the book by Cressida Cowell, it centers on Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view. The story presents a vision so grand in scale that only DreamWorks Animation and Global Creatures could bring How to Train Your Dragon to life in front of a live audience.
The How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular is scheduled next to be in Anaheim, CA on July 17 – 20. Be sure to get your tickets now!
