What makes Elf Movie Locations Tour with Buddy the Elf a unique experience ?

Buddy’s big moment with Santa’s sleigh takes place here. Ride through Central Park as Buddy, and see the famous Bethesda Terrace where the crowd gathered to witness Santa’s sleigh fly through the night. Your guide will share details about the filming and some behind-the-scenes secrets from this memorable part of the movie.

It is where Walter Hobbs lives.

Buddy's brother, Michael, attends this school.

In "Elf," one of the delightful scenes is the snowball fight between Buddy, Michael, and the 'son of a nutcracker'.

As we drive down 5th Avenue, you’ll be surrounded by sparkling lights, grand window displays, and holiday decorations that make the avenue a must-see in December. We’ll cruise past iconic department stores, all decked out with holiday cheer, creating the perfect winter wonderland ambiance, just like Buddy would want!

What’s Christmas in New York without a visit to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree? This iconic tree is the same one Buddy marvels at, captivated by its size and lights. Soak in the holiday magic and snap photos at one of NYC’s most famous holiday attractions.

After seeing the Christmas tree, head over to the ice rink, where Buddy showed off his skating skills with Jovie. While we may not skate like Buddy, you’ll get a feel for where that special connection blossomed between him and Jovie.

Buddy’s journey in the Big Apple leads him straight to his dad, Walter Hobbs, at the iconic Empire State Building. Marvel at the building’s grandeur and learn about its fascinating history, all while standing at the spot where Buddy was first reunited with his family.
