    2. The Lion King

      The Lion King musical tells the Hamlet-like tale of Simba, prince of African lions, who battles his evil Uncle Scar for the throne. But before Simba can take his rightful place in the "Circle of Life", he grows up with his two fun-loving friends, wisecracking meerkat Timon and smelly warthog Pumbaa. Together they teach Simba their philosophy of life, "Hakuna Matata" (No Worries). Based on the 1994 Disney film, and book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, the musical includes the Oscar-winning song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Additional songs are by Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Jay Rifkin. This visual feast is famous for director Julie Taymor's complex animal-puppet-human fusion, and is loved by audiences of all ages.

    The Lion King - a must watch!

    This was an overall great experience, both the booking experience with Viator and the Broadway show itself. I would highly recommend this show to people, especially those with kids (as the kids would really love the characters and how it was been performed on stage).

    The Lion King in minskoff theatre

    ​Sean and LaShonda went above and beyond to work their magic, handling everything seamlessly and securing me a replacement seat for the very next show. The way they turned a stressful situation completely around was truly epic. The show itself was breathtaking, but the exceptional kindness and outstanding service from Sean and LaShonda are what made the trip unforgettable. Huge thanks to both of them for saving the day!

    Excellent, Amazing!

    This Broadway show has been something I've wanted to see for years. I finally was able to go to NYC to see Lion King. Excellent! We enjoyed the pageantry, music, plot, costumes, and of course the actors. They did an fantastic job. The costumes were amazing!

    Loved it!

    Everyone loved it! We had such a great time! It was funny and sad and the actors were so good! The costums and music also very creative and amazing! Even my youngest, who gets bored quickly, was attentive the whole time. Really a great experience! Thank you!

    great show unless you use a wheelchair

    We took our 7 year old (her first Broadway show), and the Lion King did not disappoint. I recommend it as a great first Broadway experience. However, I am surprised by the other reviewers who talk positively about the wheelchair accessible seating. I use a wheelchair and was seated in the back row. All other seats in the theater have steps to get to them. I knew when I purchased the tickets that the theater does not have any other wheelchair seating closer to the stage. This is frustrating, but what made our experience terrible was the ushers sat people in the last row (the accessible seating row) and the 2nd to last row for the first 30 minutes of the show. They talked loudly to the people who they were seating. They opened the door to the lobby, throwing light into the theater repeatedly. They used lights on their phones to guide people in. At one point, the row in front of me had to stand up while at least 8 people went into their seats. I could not focus on the show and was distracted for many scenes. This was really disappointing. I spoke to a manager who said that all ticket holders have a right to their seat and to enter when they wish. I pointed out that the theater has signs saying management can seat latecomers at their discretion. The 2nd act was much better because there weren't any distractions. Bottom line, to preserve the experience of people who need the accessible seats, the theater should not seat latecomers during the show.

    The Lion King On Broadway Ticket: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Lion King On Broadway Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $146 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 The Lion King On Broadway Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 The Lion King On Broadway Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 665 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    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 The Lion King On Broadway Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    Around 233 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Lion King On Broadway Ticket 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.
