Advance reservations required. Please allow two hours for your tour. Recommended for ages 8 and up Please note: There are no objects or replicas of objects from the movies in the Metropolitan Museum.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this magical tour? Is it really suitable for kids?

A: The tour is recommended for ages 8 and up. We've taken younger kids before, and they really enjoyed the interactive parts. Just keep in mind that some activities might be more engaging for the older kids, though younger ones can definitely participate with adult supervision.

Q: What should we wear for the interactive tour? Do we need to bring anything?

A: Dress comfortably! Most people wear casual clothes, but if you've got wizard gear like cloaks or hats, definitely wear those. It adds to the experience! You don’t need to bring anything since all supplies are provided, but a camera is a great idea to capture the magic.

Q: What happens if it rains? Are we still going?

A: The tour goes on rain or shine since it's mostly indoors in the museum. Just make sure to check the weather for any travel disruptions. If it’s severe weather, they’ll usually reach out to reschedule or cancel, but that’s pretty rare. Just bring an umbrella for the walk to the museum!

Just booked the Griffins, Goblets & Gold tour! Any tips?

I'm so excited! I just booked this Magical Arts tour for my daughter’s birthday. She’s turning 10 and is obsessed with all things magical. Does anyone have tips on what to expect or how to make the most of it? I heard the interactive part is super fun!

Thoughts on gifting the Magical Arts tour?

Thinking of gifting this experience to my niece who’s turning 9. She loves that magical series. Is it worth it? How interactive is it? Any insights would be super appreciated!
