Reviews
Amazing event! Beautiful venue, great food, and front row view of the parade. Highly recommend!
Such a fun time at Gotham Hall for the Thanksgiving Parade experience. The hall was festively decorated, the staff were marvelous, the food delicious!A big thank you to all who made this event memorable for my brother and me! It was our first time seeing the Parade “live”. Also, a personal shout out to those who made the hot chocolate! It was my fave, as it’s European style not watery.
Absolutely loved it! The whole experience was seamless—great views, a fun atmosphere, and no stress with the weather or crowds. It felt festive from start to finish, and the holiday spirit was everywhere. Watching Santa close out the parade was the cherry on top—such a magical way to welcome the season.
I liked being able to see the parade without competing with the people who showed up a 8am. I also enjoyed the breakfast and having access to a bathroom.
From the moment I stepped in, it was the perfect escape from the cold and rain outside. Warm vibes, great company, and an unbeatable view of the Thanksgiving parade made it an unforgettable experience. Not only was it cozy and festive, but it was also a fantastic networking opportunity—I got to meet so many incredible people in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Huge thank you to the team behind this event for creating such a memorable and well-organized experience. Can’t wait to come back next year!
Photos simply don’t do it justice — seeing it in person is an entirely different experience. The area is so expansive, it makes you feel small in the best way, filled with awe and excitement at how much there is to explore.There’s no shortage of events and things to do, making every moment an adventure. I highly recommend going with kids — it truly becomes the experience of a lifetime for the whole family.
The pictures have nothing on the real thing . The area is so vast it makes you feel really small but also excited there is much to explore and no short of events. I would suggest going with the kids it makes the experience of a lifetime.
