DC Exhibition: Mummy Blogger Review

Special thanks to Mummy Blogger, Yasmin, who was lucky enough to attend the DC Exhibition: Dawn of the Super Heroes at the O2 Arena, London, last month.

Find out what she thought below:

“My five year old son was so excited to find out he was going to DC Superhero exhibition, my daughter less so because she is three and apparently only likes fairies and princesses!

What was so great about the exhibition was that it was nice and contained, which meant I could really get into it and read the info whilst not worrying about what the kids were up to. They didn’t know all the superheroes and asked loads of questions, remaining fully engaged the whole way through, which for my two active young children is saying something! My son especially likes the audio guide, and quickly got to grips with finding the numbers to tap in and getting it to play the audio for him – after all the “voice in the phone” knew more than me about Batman!

Finally we left through the nice gift shop. Of course they wanted souvenirs, including my daughter who apparently only likes Wonder Woman now!”
