Q&A

Q: What time should we arrive for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular?

A: I recommend arriving at least 30-45 minutes before the show starts. The venue can get crowded, and you don't want to miss the opening number! Plus, you can grab some hot chocolate from the nearby vendors and soak in the festive atmosphere before heading in.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Christmas Spectacular?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions, but I'd say it's suitable for kids aged 4 and up. Younger kids might enjoy it but could get restless. I brought my 6-year-old last year, and she loved it, especially the Living Nativity scene!

Q: What’s the best way to get to the Empire State Building after the show?

A: After the show, you can walk to the Empire State Building; it's about a 10-15 minute walk. Just head west on 50th St and then south on 6th Ave. If it's super cold, you could hop on the subway at 47-50th Sts Rockefeller Center Station and take the B/D/F/M trains to 34th St-Herald Sq. Easy peasy!

Just booked the Radio City Christmas Spectacular! Any tips?

I just snagged tickets for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and I’m soooo excited! I've heard the Rockettes are the highlight, especially during the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. My daughter is going to love it! I’m curious about the best places to grab dinner beforehand. Any recommendations?

Going to the Empire State Building after the show! What to expect?

I’m planning to visit the Empire State Building after the Christmas Spectacular. What’s the view like? And are there any good spots to take pics? Is it usually crowded at night?
