The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre

Tucked away on the west side of Central Park you’ll find one of my very favorite hidden gems: the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre. Perfect for the little who may need a break from running around Central Park or the American Museum of Natural History, which is quite close by. And with tickets between $8-$12, it’s one of the best deals in town. Put it on your list, especially if your kiddos are on the younger side (I think ages 3-8 is ideal for marionettes).

West 79th St. and West Drive (enter the park at 81st Street and Central Park West)
