Missed the event due to lack of important information

I can't really provide a good review of the experience itself because we essentially missed it. There was nothing in the instructions/description of the event to say you HAD to get there by a certain time. We left with what we thought was enough time because our hotel was about a six minute walk to the venue, which we mapped out the night before. But when we walked down to the parade route, the streets were already closed down. We wandered in the rain for 3 1/2 hours trying to find a way to cross 6th Avenue and it was impossible. We basically missed the parade. We finally dragged ourselves into the venue at 11:45 soaking wet and disappointed after the parade was over and they opened up the streets to get dry, grab cold food and a few drinks. As first time people coming in for the parade - that one piece of VERY IMPORTANT information would have made this very pricey experience amazing. My bucket list of seeing the parade was pretty much destroyed because there was literally nowhere to cross over from where our hotel was to get to the venue.

Bucket List events

Macy's Day Parade VIP. Just do it! Bucket List takes care of it ALL and it's ALL first class. Ben from Bucket List is the consummate host, the man never stops and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and want. There are other companies who do this but trust me they don't hold a candle to Bucket list. Yes, stay at the Lotte Towers. Amazing... Yes, stay another night or two or three. Yes, hit some Broadway shows. Yes, splurge, it's the holidays in NYC and the city is electric. Our family can't say enough about Ben, he made the trip even more enjoyable. We will be back.

I liked being able to see...

I liked being able to see the parade without competing with the people who showed up a 8 am. I also enjoyed the breakfast and having access to a bathroom.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

How much does Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch cost?

+

Prices start at $1,599 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

Is Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in New York?

+

New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit New York?

+

September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in New York?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch?

+

Included: Carbonated beverages; Brunch; Alcoholic beverages; Access to the private sidewalk out of the venue for a live view of the Macys Thanksgiving; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Where is the meeting point for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch?

+

The experience starts at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, New York City, New York, 10018, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch?

+

Is Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Premium Viewing Brunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+
