It’s That Time of The Year To Watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon’s Come To Life

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is tomorrow, but visitors can get a behind-the-scenes glimpse ahead of time when the balloons are inflated today.

Head to the area around the American Museum of Natural History at West 79th Street to watch the balloons come to life starting at 3 p.m. Wednesday and expect crowds. You start at West 79th and Columbus, move along Columbus, West 77th Street, Central Park West and West 81st Street.

Admission to the balloon area is free and stops at 9:15 p.m. and viewing ends at 10 p.m.

Public transportation is the best way to get to the inflation area as they’re restriction on parking and taxi access.

If you have never done this, it is treat for both young and old.
