I'm coming over from Norway to spend three weeks in and around New York this summer. Being the Henson fan that I am, I would be thrilled to visit the NY Henson studios. Does anyone know if they do tours, and if they do, the particulars regarding booking, duration, location and so on?

Stay green. Martin

I'm pretty sure they normally don't do tours. The official Jim Henson Company website had said that the place is for business and not open for tours (not sure if that info's still on the site), I also recall seeing somewhere at Henson.com that they usually only give tours to relatives of employees.

But there was one member who got to tour one of the new york buildings a long time ago. But it was said he was basically at the right place at the right time.

Here's that article: http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/editorials/jhc_pilgrimage.shtml
