5. Theater
Where would New York City be if not for the theatre? Broadway is a staple institution in the Big Apple. People come from around the world to witness history in the making on the stages of theatres across the city. Luckily, there are usually some really great shows that cater to little ones as well. Start your kids out with an appreciation for performing arts by taking them to see a show! No wonder these suggestions are on our list of kid friendly things to do in NYC this weekend, right?
Disney on Broadway Behind the Magic Experience
This amazing experience is truly special for any aspiring star. Not only will kids get to go behind-the-scenes and into the backstage area and prop room of the New Amsterdam Theatre; they will also get to try on costumes from major Disney musical productions and get a full history lesson. Parents love this experience just as much as their little ones.
Another foolproof plan is to simply get tickets to a great show that the whole family will love. There are always deals on show tickets to be taken advantage of, including Rush and Lottery policies, which make the Broadway experience much more affordable. Some awesome shows that kids would eat up include The Lion King, Aladdin, STOMP, Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked.
