Where is Meet the Parents 4 being filmed? Fans can already visit the spots before the movie opens
Jack Byrnes has a new lie detector victim, and the Fockers have a new zip code. Two of the places Universal shot the fourth movie are open to the public right now.
Focker-in-Law, the fourth Meet the Parents movie, opens November 25, the day before Thanksgiving. Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are back, Owen Wilson is back as Kevin Rawley, and Ariana Grande joins as Olivia Jones, the girlfriend of Greg's son Henry (Skyler Gisondo). John Hamburg wrote and directed. Principal photography ran from August 18 to November 1, 2025, with the production based in New York.
This time, the paranoid in-law is Greg. In the trailer, Jack straps Olivia to his lie detector, tells her he tests every potential new family member, and she sails through. Olivia turns out to be a former FBI hostage negotiator, and everyone loves her except Greg.
Greg Focker spent three movies failing Jack's tests. Now he's the one who wants to run them.
Miller's Toys, Mamaroneck
The easiest stop is a toy store. For about ten days in late August and early September 2025, the crew took over Miller's on Mamaroneck Avenue in the Westchester village of Mamaroneck and dressed it up as a party supply shop called Rizzo & Son Party Supplies, Daily Voice reported. Scenes were filmed inside on August 28, according to the Journal News.
The shoot drew a crowd. Harrison resident Cari Hein told News 12 she saw Stiller come out of the store, and that "he gave us a little wave."
The fake sign is long gone, and the real store is worth the trip on its own. Irving Miller opened the shop on Mamaroneck Avenue in 1948, when it sold mostly bicycles, and moved it across the street a few years later. It's now run by the family's third generation, Brooke and Taka Andrews, and New York put it on the state's Historic Business Preservation Registry in 2022, per State Senator Shelley Mayer's office.
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, Long Island
The trailer's bike race between Greg and Olivia, the one Greg wins by playing dirty, was shot on Long Island. Part of it was filmed at Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve in Lloyd Harbor, Daily Voice reported after the trailer dropped in April.
You can ride the same trails. Caumsett is the former estate of Marshall Field III, who bought 1,750 acres of Lloyd Neck in 1921, and New York State took it over in 1961. Here's what to know before you go, per New York State Parks:
- Where: 25 Lloyd Harbor Road, Huntington, NY.
- When: Open sunrise to sunset, every day of the year.
- Cost: $8 per car on the days the park collects fees, mostly weekends and summer.
- Bikes: Allowed on the trails, but not on the beachfront.
Leave the dog at home, since pets aren't allowed. Drones are banned too, so there's no recreating the trailer from above.

Newark Airport, Terminal A
New Jersey got a piece of the movie too, though it's a less romantic pilgrimage. The production spent three days in August and September 2025 at Newark Airport's Terminal A, which stands in for JFK in the film, NJ Monthly reported. Expect at least one mad dash through the terminal and an emotional heart-to-heart in an airport bathroom. The shoot spent $4 million in the state and got a $1.5 million tax credit.
This one you can visit as long as you're flying out of Newark anyway.
Of the three Focker-in-Law locations you can visit, the cheapest is the state park, and the only one with a security line is the airport.
What's still under wraps
The rest of the shoot stayed in New York City, and no specific city addresses have been reported. So, for now, the map is a toy store, a state park and an airport terminal. That's three more locations than most people ever get to see before a movie opens.
