At the beginning of the year we took our son to Monster Jam at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. You can read about our night here. It was our first time attending a show, and we had a blast! It was such a fun, action packed, family event!
We are so fortunate, and excited to be going again to the show this January, held at the Rogers Centre once again.
Seeing how our son still talks about the Monster Jam show to this day, we decided to surprise him at Christmas that we were going back again. Since I don’t have the tickets on hand, (we are picking them up at “will call”) I bought a few monster trucks, and wrapped them up, and added a note inside.
As soon as he saw the trucks he knew right away. He was sooo excited. He was jumping up and down and basically ready to run out the door. lol
It’s going to be a long 3 weeks before the show….
They will be offering 2 shows in Toronto at the Rogers Centre. Friday, January 16 at 7:00pm and Saturday, January 17 at 2:00pm.
Want to know some fun facts about the show?
- At Monster Jam, monster trucks face
off in two different forms of competition — side-by-side racing and
freestyle:
- Side-by-side racing – traditional
bracket racing, where the first truck, with the least amount of
penalties, crosses the finish line is declared the winner.

drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their
skills. In this category, the fans serve as the judges.

was the 25 year anniversary for the Grave Digger Team
