What makes it 69% Kids-Friendly: Age-5-plus shows such as The Lion King and occasional relaxed performances welcome children, but 2-hour runtimes, needs for quiet, and limited kid facilities lower comfort for younger ages.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Shows run about 2 hours with intermission; leave extra time to explore the lobby and art with your kids.
See a family-friendly musical:
Book tickets for Disney’s The Lion King or another kid-approved show.
Tip: Reserve aisle seats near the lobby doors so you can step out easily if needed.
Attend a Relaxed Performance:
Enjoy softer lights and lower sound levels on select dates.
Tip: Check the Mirvish website for Relaxed Performance dates and book early; these sell out fast.
Explore the grand lobby and artwork:
Let kids spot the Frank Stella mural and peek at the stage doors.
Tip: Arrive 30 minutes early to give children time to wander safely in the lobby.
Grab a snack in the CAA Lounge:
Recharge with drinks and light snacks at the lower-level lounge.
Tip: Bring small bills to pay; children under 12 must be with an adult and hold tickets.

The staff were very helpful and courteou...

I visited the Princess of Wales Theatre earlier this year to see The Lion King musical, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The theatre itself is stunning, elegant architecture, beautiful décor, and a design that ensures excellent visibility from almost every seat.

The Sound of Music today at the princess of Wales Theatre in live theatre feels timeless—filled with heart, hope, and the magic that only a live performance can deliver. This place is always magical.

A memorable musical 'Lion King' seen here. The energy of perfomers and the host staff was just beyond words. Gathered some beer before show to raise toast. Ice cream vendor came at half break to add to the flavours. Huge seating capacity. Sound system was great. Everything well organised to handle large crowd. Simply loved this place.
