I received tickets to Monster Jam in exchange for my post.
This year we attended our third Monster Jam show in Albany, NY at the Times Union Center.
Before the 1pm show, we attended a Pit Party that started at 10:30. You purchase these tickets separately, and it is a neat event to attend. I recommend the pit party, where you get to see the trucks up close, sit on ATVs, and even meet the drivers! It is a great opportunity to get your merchandise signed as well.
One of the neat things about the pit party is to check out the trucks, which are impressive up in person.
Every year, there are different trucks, so we were curious to see which would be making an appearance in Albany, NY. We saw some we had seen before, like Grave Digger and Scooby Doo, as well as new ones like Barbarian and Dragon.
Monster Jam started off with a race, and then it was on to the donut competition.
Next was a two-wheel skill competition, followed a freestyle competition.
It is fun to see the drivers get creative and show off!
One of the cool things about Monster Jam is that the drivers and teams also drive ATVs. There is a race and an obstacle course that they complete to earn points.
At the end of Monster Jam, a winner is crowned based on the points earned from the different events.
We had a fun day at Monster Jam, from meeting drivers to seeing the trucks in action!
Tip: Bring ear plugs, which I would say is a must, especially if you have kids (they also sell hearing protection).

There’s really nothing better than a night of roaring engines, huge tires, and cars getting crushed. It’s so much fun!
My son and my husband are going next weekend to this! They can’t wait to go! It is a great guys night! I can’t wait to hear all about it when they come home! Sounds like they are going to have a great time!
I’ve never been to a monster jam. I know it’s something my grandkids would love to see. When they go, I’ll have to make sure and purchase Pit Party tickets too. They’d love being up close and personal with those trucks.
This looks like such a fun experience. I have to look into taking my nephews to a show. They would love it.
We have monster truck jams and tracker pulls are really big in our area. Sure this would be just as much fun to see.
We love Monster Jam. Heading to the show this weekend! Can’t wait for the Pit Party! Oh and we are bringing our ear protection… it’s a MUST!
WE have never been to a Monster Jam and generally don’t get the chance to see car races. The trucks do look like fun and my son loves Grand Theft Auto.
This would be such a fun show to see! I’ve always heard such great things about Monster Jam. I think my family would enjoy this for sure.
I have always wanted to bring my son to this event and I still hope to before he is grown. As we all have our favorite trucks we would like to see and meeting the drivers would be awesome.
I would love to take my family to one of these shows. They look like so much fun.
I’ve been wanting to take my kids for the longest but never got to it we were always busy when they came to town. I hope I can catch it the next time it comes into Atlanta
I would love to take my nieces and nephews to Monster Jam!! I bet they would LOVE it!!
OMG! This is the best way to have fun with the whole family! I should take my family to Monster Jam too!
This is the one thing my son always wants to watch. Unfortunately, there’s no event like that HERE.
How fun! Wish we have this event here in the city too. My husband and son would have a blast watching it for sure.
This looks like an event my nephew would love. He is all about some monster trucks.
I’ve only been to Monster Jam once, but I loved it! My husband and I are planning to take the kids sometime. They’ve never gone, and we know they’d love it.
Oh I think my in-laws would have so much fun at this! Check out all those monster trucks and how colorful they are – love it!
Something tells Babushka that The Grands would definitely enjoy one of those shows. Definitely appreciate the earplug suggestion, Gracias.
