Exceeded expectations.
Far exceeded my expectations! Went with my grandkids (aged 8&9). Even my “too cool” granddaughter was laughing and cheering. The experience defined “family friendly”. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the awesome review! We're thrilled that you and your grandchildren had an amazing experience at our family friendly magic show :)

Amazing show!!
We had such a great time! Our 9-year-old daughter said it was “awesome” and she wouldn’t change a thing, except she wants to be the one “flying” next time :) We loved how they did some tricks at the table ahead of time and really worked to engage the audience and do something for everyone. Thanks for such a fun experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming to our magic show, and it's wonderful to hear that you and your daughter had such a fun and magical experience. We had an amazing time too, and we hope to see you again in the future!

Family friendly majic show
Great show for the family. Small venue. Seating is based on first to arrive so the early birds get the front row seats.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square) cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square) take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square)?
+
Around 6 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does NYC: Magic Show for All Ages - Broadway Magic Hour (Times Square) 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 Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. 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.
