Ages 7+ [NYC Puppet Shows, Workshops, and Festivals for Kids]( [The charming Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre presents reimagine classics with the old-school art of marionette puppet shows. Photo courtesy of the City Parks Foundation] These puppet shows in NYC are the perfect first-time theater experience. Even if your kids can't sit still for more than five minutes, chances are they'll make it through a puppet show. The colorful characters are captivating, the stories are often adaptations of familiar fairy tales, the tickets are FREE or cheap (and certainly a lot less than nabbing seats for our [favorite Broadway shows](. Puppet shows are also short, and if your kids make silly faces at the stage, the puppets won't get offended (and neither will the puppeteers—they get it). While the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park is the best-known destination for children's puppet shows in New York City, there are many other companies regularly mounting puppet shows for families, and a few offer birthday party packages. A few other NYC theaters, notably the New Victory, also present puppet shows, like the upcoming [Baobab]( and [Wink](. DR2 Theatre is also hosting [a return engagement]( of [The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show](. Be sure to check our [Event Calendar]( for even more puppet fun, [including a variety of interactive Puppetsburg]( puppet show productions.
