Guest Experience:

• Reservations:

All participants are required to register through Eventbrite and purchase a ticket for a designated time slot. You’ll receive a confirmation email once you register. Please print this confirmation and bring it with you, or, have it available on your phone.

• Onsite Check-In:

The Market is located on Level 1, near J. Crew. This is a timed entry experience, so we recommend arriving 25 minutes early for parking and check-in. Visitors will check in with staff and children will receive matching numbered wristbands for guardian/child, clipboard, blank shopping list, gift tags, and a pencil.

Please note that masks are required at all times by adults and children. Carefully read the Important Guest Reminders below for more information.

• The Market:

Children will enter the Puppet Theater where our puppet friends will help explain how the Kids Market works and get the kids ready to shop. There are gifts ranging from $10, $15, $20, and $25. Based on their agreed-upon budget and shopping lists set with parents/guardians, kids will shop & decide what to buy. Market guides will be available inside the space to assist as needed.

Parents/guardians will be able to review final purchase amounts and will only be charged for the amount the child opted to spend of their allotted budget. Children will not be permitted to add more than this amount to their shopping lists but can certainly opt to spend less. Purchasing gifts is not mandatory.

Please note, this experience is meant for kids to enjoy on their own; parents/guardians must remain in the Kids Market area outside the perimeter, which is designed for adults to be able watch from a distance. Please see FAQs for more information.

• Scavenger Hunt:

At check out, each child will be given an activity sheet with a scavenger hunt to hunt for animals around the perimeter of The Market. This activity is sponsored by Too Small to Fail.
