5 Immersive Holiday Experiences in NYC


This sounds nuts. Go to Randall’s Island where there are 16 acres worth of theme parks, art displays, live performance and fun. The theme of LuminoCity is an adventure store of a magical light bulb named aptly, Lumi. Expect light up forests, dinosaurs, and of course a towering Xmas tree. There will be indoor booths and outdoor food trucks. For an extra treat get a ticket to one the 3 themed nights- Cosplay anyone?

Tickets are $38 and the experience runs November 23, 2019, to January 5, 2020



From the immersive team that brought you “Where the F is Beverly?” comes a new comedic immersive adventure. This 90-minute sleigh-less ride by foot through Park Slope guarantees chuckling, chugging and cheer.

Tickets are $75 and include snacks, cocoa and some booze. It runs Dec 16, 17th.

New Ohio's basement theater transforms into a living archive of the neighborhood as audiences engage in a hands-on 360° pre-show experience, then become immersed in a series of short-form (10-15 minute), locally-inspired pieces, each created by teams of NYC's most adventurous theater artists. It was amazing last year and fun for the whole fam. This one is kiddo appropriate.

Tickets are $25 and it runs December 27, 2019 — January 4, 2020

Tickets that do not include food and drink are $85. Tickets are available for Nov 23rd and 30th.

Discount: $20 off standard reservations with code ‘Curious’
