How we check
Every listing, the same facts, from the source.
Each place is checked against its own official page. Here's what every part of a listing means, and what we won't pretend to know.
The four ways in
- Timed tickets
- You pick an entry time when you buy, and popular times go first.
- Reserve ahead
- You need a reservation before you go.
- Buy tickets
- Tickets are sold, ahead online or at the gate.
- Walk up
- No tickets needed. Just go.
The family of four total
Two adults and two kids, ages 5 and 9, at general admission, using the prices the venue publishes. When prices change by day, you see a range from the cheapest day to the busiest. Taxes and fees aren't included unless the listing says so. If a venue doesn't publish prices, the listing says that instead of guessing.
When tickets open
What the venue says: on sale now, the date sales start, or not announced yet. For a holiday event that hasn't announced this year's dates, we only list it if it sold out or needed tickets ahead in a past year, and we say which year.
Sell-out notes
Only when the venue says its dates sell out or fill up, or a credible news source reported a sell-out, with a link and the year. It's what they've said, not a live count of tickets left.
What “Checked” means
The month we read the official page. Things can change the next day, so the venue's page always has the final word, and every listing links to it.
Accessibility and Black-owned details
Only when the venue or business says so itself, with a link. We don't label a place welcoming or accessible on a hunch. If your family needs something specific, call the venue before you go.
What we won't tell you
- Live availability. We link to the page that has it.
- That a place is worth it, when we haven't been.
- Anything a business paid us to say. Nobody pays to be listed.
