Griffins, Goblet & Gold: An Interactive Magical Arts Museum Tour

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Evie and the incredible, fun, informative experience we had at the Met. We took our child (then ~10 years old) to the Met on our last trip to NYC, and we learned from that experience that taking our child through a museum unguided was asking for lots of complaining and misery. The experience was radically different this time with Evie. She was so engaging in the way she connected the art to stories that kids know (mostly Harry Potter, but other fantasy series as well and peppering in interactive activities throughout the tour. All of us (adults and kids) learned a great deal about fantasy and myth as well as general recommendations for books, movies, TV, and NYC places to visit. We would absolutely book another tour with Fable & Lark again! Highly, highly recommend.

I’m so glad we booked this tour, as it was a wonderful way of exploring different parts of the Met with our boys (10 and 12). It was very evident that the tour guide put a lot of care into designing the tour, keeping kids and adults engaged and marveling about the parallels between Harry Potter and the wonderful art and architecture around us. The activities throughout kept our boys’ imagination engaged. We would love to do other tours in the future. The Met is so vast, and Evan is an expert navigator having worked there for many years.

I had a really wonderful time. I loved learning about how the art and artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art could be linked to famous fantasy novels like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. The activities were a blast too. The tour guide’s enthusiasm was contagious.

Evan was a fantastic good tour guide at the MET museum. We went to the Magical Tour with my son, Indeed Magical. Evan was able to keep my son interested while bring very informative. Would definitely recommend!

Evan was so knowledgeable about the museum and also able to adapt and change the tour as needed to meet our son’s interests. She really let him guide the show, and then made what we looked at all the more interesting and magical! Highly recommend!

This tour was FANTASTIC! Evan's extensive knowledge of myth and the museum is surpassed only by her warm and inviting attitude towards all things magical. I was so impressed by Evan's ability to connect the fantasies I love with the histories available in the museum - it was such a rare and fun experience to see my favorite 'fake' worlds come to life in this very real one. Would highly suggest - appropriate for all ages, and fun with friends!!

Evan was our tour guide and she was AMAZING! Her attention to detail and knowledge in mythology and all things magical made experience so special. Evan is witty, very smart and easily related to my moody teenager. I loved the interactive activities for kids and adults. I highly recommend a visit to The Met with Evan!

I can not say enough about this virtual tour. Due to Covid, we are not quite ready to venture into the city. Evan was amazing with my 9 year old who was engaged the entire session. She learned so much and enjoyed the interactive activities. I have recommended this activity to other parents in town. Upon completion each child gets a formal invitation to the MET wizardry school. Can not wait to sign up for future events.

My Girl Scout troop had the most amazing time participating in the virtual tour. Even those girls who do not love Harry Potter were participating. I’m especially grateful for the list of resources we received after the tour.

We did the tour with 2 adults and 2 children ages 10 and 12 and it was excellent! 1 of us is a true Harry Potter fan, 2 are casual fans, and 1 knows little about Harry Potter yet we all enjoyed the tour. Frankly my children are a bit ‘museumed out’ due to us visiting many museums recently during our travels so I was looking for something to make our first trip to The Met memorable. I first learned of Fable and Lark through the John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth program but couldn’t sign up for the dates they offered. We decided to book on our own and am so glad we did! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the museum and made our visit so much more memorable and educational than if we would’ve toured on our own. We plan to go back for the Percy Jackson tour the next time we’re in NYC!! Highly recommend as a must do activity when you visit The Met!

This tour was fantastic. It was interesting, informative, and fun! I would absolutely recommend tours with Fable & Lark, and I’m planning to book another tour soon.

It was really cool. Recommended. Some group activities were required and I wasn’t expecting that, but it was fun. Hope you enjoy it too. ✨

Wonderful girls day at the museum on the Griffins, Goblets and Gold museum tour. My 9 year old absolutely lives every minute of it. It was a great way to introduce her to the Met. Evan is incredibly knowledgeable about the museum and the book content. She engaged every one of us, paying particular attention to all of the children. Highly recommend!

We took the Griffins, Goblets, and Gold museum tour. Our guide, Evan, led us through the museum with stops to talk about Harry Potter the art work around us. She engaged the kids with descriptions, trivia questions, and comparisons to the books and movies. It was a great way to explore the museum in a limited fashion. Otherwise, the Met can be overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Just took my HP-obsessed 9-year old Ravenclaw on the Fable & Lark HP-inspired tour of The Met and had a wonderful time. The kids were excited and engaged and frankly, so was I. It was a fresh and whimsical look at both a museum that we have grown up going to and a story that is a part of our collective narrative. The other guests were lovely either as a function of being fellow Potter fans or just luck. Just enough interactive moments to help give the kids’ energy an outlet without becoming an issue. Loved loved loved. Will definitely do another tour with this company! Evan was an amazing guide for both adults and children!

Thanks to her godmother my 6 year old is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I worried that she might be young for the tour but she had a blast and Evan, our guide made her feel completely comfortable and important. The tour was filled with information and activities that kept both my child and the adults on the tour fully engaged. It was the perfect way to spend a chilly morning and introduce my daughter to The Met. I look forward to doing the tour again with some of my friends

Evan made the Met completely accessible and engaging for a 9 year old Harry Potter enthusiast, and I absolutely loved it too! The tour was interactive (which let's be honest the Met is fascinating but not interactive really) and interesting. Evan was so knowledgeable that any questions, both about the tour or the museum, were answered. When we showed any interest in something not "on tour" Evan took the time to explain. LOVED IT ALL!

We brought our 7-year-old for this tour, it was amazing. Everyone was very patient and friendly to the kid. It enlighten her imagination and interest, brings the joy of a wonderful story and reminds all of us to importance of paying attention to details in the books. Personal, i do not think we read enough so i picked up book 1 of Harry Potter again. Just a side note, if you have not read all the books and familiar with movies, it is a bit hard to follow all of them. But overall, it was great experience. When i am done reading them again, we will be back.

Highly recommend this experience! ✨⚡️✨FableAndLark wizard tour at The Met ✨💕✨ #keepthesecrets So.Much.Fun! Walking through the museum referencing my FAVORITE boy wizard! Guided!
