As the holidays quickly approach, holiday shopping is at the top of many of our to-do lists. As someone who doesn’t like “stuff” I prefer to both give and receive experience gifts. Here is a collection of some great experience gift ideas in Westchester County and the surrounding area.

Phantom at the Westchester Broadway Theatre
One Broadway Plaza

now through January 27, 2019
*tickets start at $59/kids, $62/seniors, $69/adults
Although we have not seen Phantom at the WBT, we have seen other shows at the theatre. There isn’t a bad seat in the place and the performances we’ve seen have been amazing. You can buy gift certificates to the theatre that can be used at a future performance, if Phantom doesn’t appeal to you or your gift recipient.

Movie Tickets – Depending on the number of tickets you buy, this is a gift that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Memberships – If you want your family to enjoy fun all year-round, memberships are a great family gift idea. Memberships to the Bronx Zoo, Historic Hudson Valley, Hudson River Museum or the NYBG will provide enjoyment all year long!
