Marionette Theater

See a live show with hand-carved marionettes at the Swedish Cottage.

Located at the Swedish Cottage, the children's Marionette Theater holds shows featuring favorites such as Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and Gulliver's Travels, plus many new performances as well.

The Theater became a permanent fixture at the Swedish Cottage in the 1970's and since then, has been restored by the Central Park Conservancy. Now under the direction of the City Parks Foundation, the Marionette Theater is one of the most enjoyable children's attractions in the park.

Reservations are required.
