A simple plan around your showtime
Book the performance first, then fit the rest of your outing around it. This suggested sequence works for an afternoon or evening show; adjust it for your own pace, travel and meal plans.
- Before your arrival window: Enjoy a meal or a short Midtown walk. Keep the route close to Radio City and allow extra time for holiday crowds.
- At least one hour before the show: Arrive at Radio City. Have your digital tickets ready and leave time for security and finding your seats.
- Showtime: Settle in for the 90-minute performance. There is no intermission.
- After the show: Add a nearby stop or an unhurried dinner. Keep dinner reservations flexible enough to allow time to exit the theater.
This is a suggested itinerary, not a schedule of additional included activities. Seasonal decorations and holiday displays have their own calendars.
Before you go
Location: Radio City Music Hall is at 1260 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue), between West 50th and West 51st Streets.
Pack light: The venue does not provide bag or coat checking. Review the current bag policy before leaving your accommodation.
Digital tickets: Open the actual admission tickets before your trip. For the Viator package, the booking confirmation is not the show ticket; follow the supplier’s separate delivery instructions.

Quick questions
