Activity Level
Set the scene for your next adventure in the entertainment capital of the east coast: dazzling New York City. Together with your teenage grandchild, you’ll receive an inside look into the glitz and glam of theater, film and television while also learning about the hard work that goes into making a production. You’ll meet film, TV and Broadway professionals; get a private look at a Broadway theater and be serenaded by singing waiters before attending a Broadway performance. Along the way, you and your grandchild will explore famous film locations for an eye-opening deep dive into show business in the “city that never sleeps.”
Best of all, you'll...
  • Enjoy a lively Broadway show and participate in an interactive off-Broadway experience.
  • Attend a private screening of an iconic NYC-based film, then explore the actual filming locations.
  • Learn about television production from professionals who make it happen every day.
