Big Holiday Ticket Giveaway: They Might Be Giants Here Comes Science Concert
This week is our Big Holiday Ticket Giveaway. Each day this week we'll be hosting a giveaway post for at least one show. Check every day to make sure you don't miss out on a chance to win tickets to some great shows like Sesame Street Live, Wintuk, and more. The first giveaway in our great week of Holiday Ticket Giveaways is for a They Might Be Giants Benefit Concert this weekend.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
They Might Be Giants will be singing from their new album, Here Comes Science. Kids and adults both will jam to songs introducing science like I am a Paleontologist, How Many Planets, Photosyntheisis, and more. This show should be fun for kids from preschoolers up to tweens. The songs are educational but just as silly and fun as TMBG's earlier children's albums Here Come the ABCs and Here Come The 123s .
We're giving away 4 tickets to a They Might Be Giants benefit concert on Sunday, December 13 at 3:15 at the NY Hall of Science. The tickets include admission to the museum, so plan on a whole day of fun. The value of this prize is $150.

About the Author

Founder of Mommy Poppins
A fourth-generation Brooklynite, Anna started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to help families find the best things to do with kids in NYC, with a particular emphasis on sharing activities that are free, affordable, and enriching. The site, used by millions of families, has grown to become the ultimate resource for parents in the major US cities, plus travel guides for 100s of destinations.
Anna is a believer in the magic of summer camps, traveling with kids, and that you can raise kids on a budget and still have a rich life full of amazing memories. Anna's first Mommy Poppins book, The Young Traveler's Journal and Activity Book, published in 2025 and co-written with her daughter, Amelia Eigerman, brings that ethos to life, in addition to this website.
