Comic Con with children is a different proposition from Comic Con alone, and Family HQ is the con's answer to it — a dedicated space with programming pitched at kids rather than a corner of the show floor. Sunday is traditionally the most family-oriented day of the four.
What to expect
A dedicated family programming area inside the Javits Center, open across the show days.
Good to know
- Javits Center, 429 11th Avenue
- A New York Comic Con badge is required for entry
- The 7 train to 34th St–Hudson Yards is the closest subway
