Today

GO BOOM: What’s better than clowns? Clowns with confetti, of course — not to mention a talent for making kids look smart and parents look silly. That’s what “Aga-Boom,” at Symphony Space, is all about. Don’t miss this rare NYC performance! 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., $15 for kids, $25 for adults. 2537 Broadway, at 95th Street; 212-864-5400, symphonyspace.org

MICE ON ICE: If you’re old enough to remember the Ice Capades, you may have kids just the right age for that kind of thing. Enter Disney on Ice and its new skating spectacular, “Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey.” Colorful costumes, music, ice, pricey souvenirs — you know the drill. Today at 11 a.m., and 3 and 7 p.m.; tomorrow at 1 and 5 p.m. Tickets, $15 to $150. Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, LI; 516-794-9300, ticketmaster.com

TOMORROW

SET SAIL: Just checking out the amazing array of boats at the annual New York Boat Show at the Javits Center should be enough to amuse most kids, but they’ll also get to hang with Discovery Channel’s Swamp Brothers and costumed characters Spider-Man and SpongeBob SquarePants’ pal Patrick Star. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Adults, $14. Kids under 15 free with adult ticket. 11th Avenue at 37th Street; 212-216-2000, nyboatshow.com

TOMATO, TOMAHTO: You’re never too young for Gershwin, as the Broadway Playhouse series at Merkin Concert Hall aims to prove with its George and Ira Gershwin show. Besides live performances of hits such as “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” expect singalongs, games and a mini-musical. Good for ages 4 to 11. 11 a.m., $20. 129 W. 67th St., between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues; 212-501-3330, kaufman-center.org

STILL TO COME

SILENT SOUNDTRACK: If you can’t make tomorrow’s Gershwin show at Merkin Concert Hall, be sure to reserve seats there Tuesday. That’s when Dan Zanes, NYC’s own pied piper, will premiere his original score for the 1928 Buster Keaton silent film “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” as part of the New York Guitar Festival. 7:30 p.m., $25, $15 for students. 129 W. 67th St.; 212-501-3330, kaufman-center.org
