We recently went to the Harlem Globetrotters at the DCU Center in Worcester and had such a fun time.
This time we didn't have the Magic Pass but in the past I have, you can read about that here!
You can also get autographs and meet players after the game for free however this is also timed and it is not organized in to lines. You basically have to wait at each player going around the court.
The game is so much fun and so entertaining for the kids.
The tricks and the shots they do are amazing with some silliness in between.
If you have never been to a Harlem Globetrotters game you should definitely go to one.
Disclosure: I received a Four Pack of tickets to a Harlem Globetrotters game through the US Family Guide in exchange for this promotional post. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.
The Boston Celtics are giving us a very exciting season and my son Evan loves to watch them. Evan loves basketball and is even playing in a Tournament with an All Star Team he was picked for from our town. I knew he would be thrilled to go to a game.
It was a really great game and the Celtics won! It is a great family friendly environment too. The kids had a blast!
The Celtics have been doing great lately and I am also impressed with all of the cool things they are doing for fun with families. Evan got to attend a Jr. Celtics Clinic at the TD Garden recently and loved it! I wrote about his experience here.
They also have Boston Celtics Family Packs which is an awesome and affordable way to take the kids to the game! Unfortunately they are sold out for this season but keep an eye out here for next year. The Family Pack includes:
4 balcony tickets, 2 Club Green Kids gifts, Meet and Greet with Lucky and a $20 credit towards concessions or merchandise at TD Garden.
If you tag your pictures on Instagram and Twitter with #LetsGoCeltics you can get on to the jumbo tron. There is so much excitement and fun during basketball games.
Kids can also register for Club Green Kids which has lots of great perks:
My son loves all sports! He loves to play them and loves to watch our Boston teams play. When we were given the opportunity to take Evan to check out the new Jr. Celtics program at the TD Garden in Boston I knew he would be excited. As the kids get older it is harder to come up with birthday and Christmas gifts for them, giving them experiences is the way to go. I think this would be a great holiday surprise for any kid.
The Boston Celtics recently launched an official youth basketball platform where kids will have the chance to learn the values of Celtics basketball by participating in on-court training via exclusive events. Evan participated in the one this past Sunday at the TD Garden with a friend and they loved it.
There will be more than 20 clinics throughout inaugural season. The clinics will promote the values of Celtics basketball through on-court training and exclusive events in a safe and fun environment directed towards youth development. The clinics provide feature coaches, special guest VIP appearances and exclusive Jr. Celtics apparel. Clinics held at the Celtics’ Practice Facility in Waltham, or at TD Garden, will also feature exclusive access to team facilities.
Kids were put in to groups and then split up with their coaches to go to four stations. Shooting, finishing (lay ups), conditioning and dribbling skills drills. Then at the end they had to compliment their teammates.
They also got to meet Lucky who got them all psyched up.
Fun shooting!
We watched the Celtics game that night and Evan kept saying I was shooting right there!

Members will receive benefits such as gift items, monthly prize drawings and discounts to Jr. Celtics events. For more information on the program visit www.Celtics.com/jrceltics
Plus they have Family Packs to go to see the Celtics play!
What an awesome experience! Make sure to register your child and of course cheer for the Boston Celtics!

I have loved the Boston Celtics since I was a kid and it is so exciting to share my husband's and my love with the kids. I recently learned about the Boston Celtics Family Packs which is an awesome and affordable way to take the kids to the game! The Family Pack includes:
4 balcony tickets, 2 Club Green Kids gifts, Meet and Greet with Lucky and a $20 credit towards concessions or merchandise at TD Garden.
When you purchase the Family Pack you are sent directions on how to claim your gifts. At the beginning of the game we were instructed to go to Section 15 to pick up the gift items and $20 credit and were also provided information on the time for the meet and greet with Lucky. The gift bags can be seen here and included the cool light up glasses, cup, and frisbee.
Lucky was super nice and spun the ball on his finger.
The kids were so excited for the game. Evan loves to play basketball and has been playing since he was in Kindergarten. He had only been to one game and Lauren had never been to a game.
Here is Lauren trying out the Snapchat filters for the Celtics.

This is before the game.
There is so much excitement and fun during basketball games. The energy is palpable. We were seated in Loge seats, Family Pack tickets are in the Balcony.
Here is a little video to get a feel of the fun of the live game.
Evan was really excited to see Isaiah Thomas. He is his favorite player. Here he is shooting a free throw.
We had such a blast! Plus the Celtics won!

We recently were fortunate enough to go to the Harlem Globetrotters and had a chance to experience the Magic Pass! What a blast!
The Magic Pass is an opportunity to meet players, learn tricks and shoot before the game. The experience is a half hour and is an hour and a half before the game. The Magic Pass is $22 per person and I believe it is well worth it. They also limit how many Magic Passes they sell.
We got to the Tsongas about a half hour before the Magic Pass started. You give your tickets for both the Magic Pass and Game and then get to enter the court.
Once the Magic Pass starts there are lanes for each player. Some you go up and meet a player and they will give you an autograph.
With other players you can learn a trick. In my video you can see Evan spinning the ball on his finger. Here he is with Moose.
Here is Moose giving him an autograph.
They met Cager too. This was not the same person that was in the game. The real Cager was super tall. I believe he was over 7 feet!
Here you can see Cager in the game. It was so funny watching him shoot as he could literally just put the ball right in to the net.
You could also shoot basketballs and pose in this funny sign.
Plus even see what the Harlem Globetrotters uniforms look like on.
We were able to get to all 6 players in the 30 minutes. They did add 5 minutes at the end of the thirty. I am not sure if that is a normal occurrence or just because they still had lines for players. We met 6 out of the 9 players from the team.
You can also get autographs and meet players after the game for free however this is also timed and it is not organized in to lines. You basically have to wait at each player going around the court. Here you can see some video of the Magic Pass and the Game.
The game is so much fun and so entertaining for the kids. Here you can see Bull standing on the net.
The tricks and the shots they do are amazing with some silliness in between.
Here is Fire Fly in the stands near us.
If you have never been to a Harlem Globetrotters game you should definitely go to one.
