Very enjoyable for all of the family.
Thought it was very well organised and brilliant to watch
Great experience, we absolutely loved it. the 4 stars is due to the lack of wizard of oz music and also pre show entertainment.
This was such an amazing, unique experience! Loved seeing the kids faces in awe as they saw the story come to life in the sky. Core family memories made.
Amazing. Enjoyed all
Thought it was very well organised and brilliant to watch
Very enjoyable for all of the family.
Brilliant just brilliant!!!
Amazing what they can do with drones and the timing is on point
The show was amazing.
First time watching something like that and I really enjoyed it xx
Fantastic and original show
Was colourful and enjoyable
I took my nine month old granddaughter to see the drone show. Although she was young, she was definitely fixed on the lights and the sounds. Would recommend to a friends.
We had the most magical evening at The Wonderful Wizard of Oz drone show. From start to finish our children (and us) were totally captivated. The drones were absolutely incredible creating the most wonderful scenes. Looking forward to our next drone adventure!
Brilliant
Took 3 grandchildren aged 6,11,14 they all enjoyed it very much. Amazing what you can do with those drones
Really good show. Enjoyed it.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Wizard of Oz drone light show - it was innovative and exciting and we were very lucky as the weather was also very good.
It was an amazing experience, I would recommend to anyone. Only who suffer from cluster headaches I would consider to get protection glasses I didn’t know that lights could trigger it. I was suffering at night. But I still love the show, well worth it! Thank you.
We all loved it
My son says magical
The show was amazing and unbelievable. So clever how the drones move around. The location was ideal and the weather was perfect.
Another wonderful show, I’m glad they did a 45 minute show instead of the drone racing at the beginning, it was fabulous.
First time ever at a drone show and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, well presented and so imaginative
An amazing show
Good evening,could been bit longer.
Everything is fine
I thought the drone show was brilliant and family loved it. There is quite a gap from arrival to the show, so I think there could have been some entertainment around rose bowl to keep the kids engaged etc.
I enjoyed the show but there was 3 moments of silence where just background music was played. I assume this was to program or swap out drones for the next part.
It would have been nice for the narrator to talk in these gaps to keep kids engaged
Absolutely brilliant show
A lovely family evening
Had a great evening even for adults. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend
Great experience good selection of food and drink comfortable roomy seating
Very impressive however not what we expected. We thought that there would be a heavier musical element.
It was brilliant ,easy parking for disabled ,seating was good
The whole evening was great
We were all mesmerised, such a fantastic experience, really well organised and very entertaining.
A wonderful show! Highly recommended to everyone!
This was a brilliant show just don’t know how it all comes together.
It was amazing!
Excellent venue and show but needed pre display entertainment
Colourful, creative, entertaining, innovative
Really good show, however not as good as the evolution show
Great light show. Also parking and food outlets much better than last time.
It was good experiencing something different.
Really enjoyed it. It’s impressive how the drones can make a picture and move. It was just the right length of show. Looking forward to the next one wonder what theme it will be.
Loved it
It was very creative, good time length of show to keep kids entertained. Shame about the vendors charging extortionate prices (200g of sweets £21.50!!)
Sooo clever! Very entertaining and value for money however maybe some music or being able to see the storyteller may have made it more interesting for younger children who noticeably started to get restless around the arena. Our group of 7 ranged from 18 months to 60 yrs old and we all enjoyed it.
Just beautiful, a visual delight. Lovely staff.
Lovely night! Good to experience something a bit different.
Something very different and creative with a nice message for children.
Brilliant drone show an excellent evening, the food was overpriced cost me £20 for a pick up mix
Thoroughly enjoyed this - beautiful display, food was good and venue easy to access / close parking. A great evening.
A great well organised event. So clever.
Well organised, friendly helpful staff. Show was incredible!
great show, wonder if there should be age limit for children as my 5 year old nephew struggled to follow the story.
Wonderfull
Fantastic, can't wait for the next one.
Great car park experience, it was good , disappointed that they did not show birthday wishes through lights , as an experience it was good , all people had a great view ,
Lovely show and enjoyed the whole experience
Good evening
Really enjoyed the show. Excellent for kids.
The show was amazing, really loved it and so creative!
Lovely event. Drones put on an amazing show. Thought text/email updates were very helpful. Loved it!
Our 3 year old loved it! Was an awesome experience even with the cold
Fantastic experience, my niece and nephew loved it
Easy to get to location,great visibility at venue,colourful and entertaining
Was a great night out
Very good event
Brilliant. Enjoyed every minute. Something different. Fab evening out x
The drone light show was fantastic—creative and well-executed. The staff was friendly, and the event was well-organized, making for a smooth and enjoyable experience. It was a lot of fun! However, I was hoping for a bit more of a "wow" factor. A larger-scale display with more drones could make it even more impressive in the future. Looking forward to seeing how the show evolves!
Second drone show. Absolutely brilliant!
Amazing show. Really enjoyed it. Our group ranged from 10 years old to 87 and we were all mesmorised.
Amazing and creative. Large scale took us by surprise. Would have liked it to be longer and the narration in British accent/ English
It was absolutely amazing. The speakers were too loud and it's a shame there was no music from the film
Fantastic show! Really enjoyed myself and it was very different!
Great show, really different version of the story
It was mesmerising and very well done.. Memorable for lifetime...
Brilliant show, and lovely narrated story, was a little chilly
Great show, my son loved the whole show
Absolutely magical. Loved it!
Great experience from booking to attending. Really well organised with great communication.
I had never experienced a drone light show before. This was my first time, and it didn't disappoint. A very novel way of recreating a well known story in just 45 minutes. Very enjoyable!
Loved the light show.
My only observation is that the sound was way too loud.
Also thought food and drink prices (especially in the premium bar) were a bit steep
Amazing experience and fantastic light show
Magical show for the family
Wow, from start to finish, the show captured both me & my autistic son. We loved every moment & could have stayed & watched it again! Bravo!!👏🏻
Well organised
Amazing show! Really impressed 👏
Great show
Brilliant night, excellent host, lots to do at the start
Maybe book more than 2 face painters to stop the queue but otherwise fantastic
Loved it! Fascinating to see what story could be told with drones but absolutely blew me away! I cannot wait to see what the future holds
What a great experience watching such a formation. Remarkable
missed the drone race before the event this time. would have liked that.
The drones were fantastic, the story , lights and atmosphere wonderful
Great location, some music to match the theme would of been good.
The ques for food were painfully long, but the show itself excellent.
It's hard not to get lost in these shows.
I can't wait to see what these shows are gonna look like in a couple of decades time, because the benchmark has already been set.
The Wizard of Oz Drone Light Show in Birmingham was an absolutely stunning experience! This is my mum’s favourite film, so getting to watch it brought to life in such a unique way was truly special. The drones created breathtaking visuals, from the yellow brick road to Dorothy and her friends, all set against the night sky. It was a wonderful treat for me, my mum, and my nan. The colours, music, & storytelling through lights made it unforgettable. A must-see for any Wizard of Oz fan! 🌈✨
Loved it
excellent show
Storytelling was annoying but the drones were cool
X
Wasn't really sure what to expect when booking, however my family and I walked away so mesmerised by what we had just seen. Everything about the 45 minute display was amazing.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND
Was an amazing show and we all really enjoyed it x
