Our guided tours run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm.  We also offer one Saturday tour per month.  Reservations are required and can be made by calling us at 212-965-8999.  The tours are limited to groups of ten and the cost for the tours is $10 per person.  This fee is used to support Little Airplane Productions' mission, "To create and produce the finest educational preschool programming in the world."  The tours are held at our production studio at 207 Front Street in New York's historic South Street Seaport.  

        

   

The Little Airplane Studio Tour provides a close up, insider's look at how children's television is made.  Every aspect of production, from writing to animation to voice-over recording, is explained to families by the creative team at Little Airplane.

"By opening our studio, we hope to provide families with a better understanding of where children's television shows come from.  The Little Airplane Studio Tour is an educational initiative that will be as entertaining as the shows we make.  It is the first studio tour ever to explain in detail how a preschool television program is put together."

Josh Selig
President, Little Airplane Productions

"This is a terrific new experience in the South Street Seaport.  The Seaport is already one of New York City's premiere family destinations and Little Airplane's Studio Tour will be a welcome new addition.  Quite simply, there is nothing like it anywhere else in the city."

Janell Vaughan
Senior General Manager, Seaport Marketplace

   

This past summer, Little Airplane Productions welcomed kids and their parents to the Little Airplane Café!  Families had the unique opportunity to see some of their favorite children’s artists perform live in our intimate café setting! 
 
Check back with us regularly for announcements about the 2010 summer lineup!
