Families spending time in a big city like New York will understand that it can be very difficult to come up with some enjoyable activities that the kids will be able to enjoy.

However, from February 22nd to the 24th, the city's Beacon Theatre will be playing host to a special production that should fit the bill perfectly.

Scooby-Doo Live: Musical Mysteries sees everyone's favourite television cartoon gang called in to attempt to solve an epic mystery in the Big Apple.

Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, Velma and Scooby-Doo himself pile into the Mystery Machine to track down a trouble-making ghost that is haunting the Beacon Theatre.

Entry prices start at $40 for the cheap seats, going up to $75 for those who wish to enjoy the best views in the house.

Residents at the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York will find that they are able to get to the venue in around ten minutes if they drive or take a cab.
