We’ve taken our kids to Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, and it’s always been a family favorite.

Don’t Miss the Hot Wheels Pre-Show Party
This is our top tip for families who want to make the most of their Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live experience.
The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Pre-Show Party takes place two and a half hours before each performance and gives fans the opportunity to go onto the arena floor and see the monster trucks up close. Kids can check out the trucks, meet drivers and performers during autograph signings and receive an autograph card. The Pre-Show Party also includes access to a special Play Zone. If your kids are anything like ours, getting close to the trucks is almost as exciting as watching them perform. If you’re able to add the Pre-Show Party to your experience, we think it’s worth considering.
Please note: The Pre-Show Party is a separate add-on ticket and is subject to availability.
Bring Headphones
These are a must for both kids and adults. While they do have ones you can buy at the arena we recommend bringing your own to save. Here are some that we like:
—Kids’ headphones
—2 pack Kids’ headphones
—Ear plugs
Get Glowing
We love a good glow party. Why not get into all the fun? You can bring glow sticks or wear glow-in-the-dark items and cheer on your favorite trucks. We love these:
—Glow Sticks party pack
—Glow foam sticks
Keep the Fun Going
Our kids love playing with their Hot Wheels. Whether they are setting up other cars to crush or ramps to see how many they can get over, here are some fun sets to keep the fun going after the show:
—Hot Wheels Oversized Big Foot
