Although the snow in Branson had melted by the end of the week enough for us to do a few outdoor activities, we still set aside time to see the Amazing Pets Show at the Grand Country Music Hall on Saturday morning — and are we ever glad we did.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

Featuring exciting acts and tricks from a troupe of skilled dogs, beautiful birds, and trained house cats, this family-friendly production is a hit with all ages! The show’s casual format makes it a particularly good choice for families with young children who might be a little too squirmy or vocal for other venues.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

The pets are remarkable, not only for their intelligence and highly entertaining tricks, but also for the fact that they were all rescued from local animal shelters. I love that!<\/p>\n

And their stunts really were amazing — especially the cats, who impressed us with their unusual willingness to cooperate.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

The show’s emcee, Apple Jack, asked the audience not to take any photographs or video while the animals were onstage, so I wasn’t able to document any of the exciting acts we saw, but there were lots of opportunities for audience participation, and I was able to capture a few of those in pictures.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

Even our own 10-year-old Gabriel ventured down to the front of the auditorium to get in on one of the acts.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

Parents were a little more reluctant to take the spotlight, although one fun dad agreed, with hilarious results.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

While the dogs and cats did all their tricks front and center, the beautiful birds ventured out into the audience, flying so low that I could feel their wings brush the top of my head more than once.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

There were opportunities during intermission to get a snapshot with the stars of the show, including a tiny masked poodle known as “Batdog.” Isn’t he adorable?<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

Our family received complimentary tickets to the Amazing Pets show as part of a US Family Guide blogger promotion<\/a> in exchange for this honest review, but my readers can get $3.00 off the purchase price of each Amazing Pets ticket by using this coupon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And be sure to save your ticket stub afterward, as it can be redeemed for discounts on additional shows and\/or for meals at either of the restaurants on the premises.<\/p>\n
