纽约科学馆

I was here for a conference, so I didn't get to fully explore the museum, but what I did see was a lot of interactive exhibits that I think my kids would love. Lots of physics lessons using sports stations, maker tables, and an outdoor, science-themed mini golf course make this tempting to return to.

My 2 and 4 years old love this place. The outdoor playground is really great and unique. The place is big with a lot of hands on displays for the kids. All the staff was helpful and explained everything. We loved the downstairs creator areas and the microscopes. With the membership the price is reasonable if you go regularly.

I went on a school trip for science class to this place. There were exhibits like seeing the inside of a rocket control system, feeling the average temperature of planets in our solar system, and more. I could say more but I don't want to spoil it. If you decide to visit, enjoy your time!

We are a family of five, including three kids, ages 8-16. Both adults are engineers, we homeschool, and our kids like science. We came a day early before MakerFaire in September 2014 so we could see the museum without all the crowds. The most interesting exhibit was on mathematics. It was extremely well done. We do not recall having seen a math exhibit at any other science museum we've been too. We ran out of time to play the science themed mini-golf. Hope to get back to do that in the future!

The Hall of Science is an amazing place to visit to feed the enthusiastic young mind. It is a great supplement to what children learn in school. Here they get to interact with the concepts learned in school. The Cool Chemistry demonstration was really engaging, talking about molecule arrangement and change of phase! With a group of 5 graders we spent here about 5 hours. P.S. the food in the cafeteria is really expensive, bring your own - Also there is a microwave!!. You can check your bags/coats. Save some money on the ridiculously priced food to buy something at the shop to make the visit even more memorable! Or visit during free admission hours - for a family of 3 it saves nearly $40! - When you visit during free hours, walk past the first gallery, as thats where the crowd does, and then return there later.

I mainly visited to see the "Gingerbread Lane" exhibit - which had over 1000 gingerbread houses displayed. While cute and seasonal, it was the rest of the museum that really wowed me, especially the gallery on art and neuroscience, with fascinating artistic interpretations of the brain and it's function, as well as the photo gallery of photos taken through a microscope, which were quite fascinating. The rest of the exhibits are quite educational, both for adults and kids alike! There are lots of hands-on activities for children and you probably need a few hours to go through the whole museum in detail. I went on a Friday between 2-5 pm, when admission is free. It's a short walk from the 111th street subway station on the 7 train.

I was very much impressed with their fairly large size science museum.There is so much to do there for the whole family.I was simply in awe during the whole time I was there.In one part of the museum, you can learn all about your body, eating habits, your heredity, etc.In another part, you can learn about mathematics and how it came about and they even have a chart showing you the history going way, way back in time.In another part, you can learn about sports and how baseballs are made.In the basement, the children can practice constructing or making things in various sections such as building a city.They even have various temporary exhibits such as one about Ginger Bread Houses which is absolutely Incredible and Smells Delicious too!There three main floors that you can visit are identified as follows:Upper Level: Viscusi Gallery, Great Hall, North Wing (The Sports Challenge Connections, The Nature Of Networks), TheaterStreet Level: Central Pavilion (Mathematica: A World Of Numbers Seeing The Light). North Wing: The Search For Life Beyond Earth Preschool Place. Admissions: Member ServicesLower Level: Central Pavilion (Rubbles Featured Exhibit)There is a lot more that I could tell you about the New York Hall Of Science, however, I think that it would be best for You to come out there and find out for yourself!PS: I want to also thank Brett T., Senior Manager Of Visitor Experience And Operations for the wonderful tour and Jose Morel, Security Manager for making my visit very enjoyable!

We enjoy the Hall of Science. It has a lot of educational exhibits and almost all are interactive. The key to really getting the most out of it is going in with time and patience. Every little exhibit is explained well for adults on a placard, but for your child to really learn the science, you'll have to read and understand the placard, then demonstrate and explain it to your kids. It's a great way to teach the kids complicated things I could never do on my own, but know that if you take the young ones and setting them free, they won't get much out of the experience. The playground is amazing! It's huge and filled with so many ways to play with science. You can use levers and pulleys to move sand in the sandbox, use sunlight to create energy, play on one of the biggest and best water tables, rest on seats that double as a drum circle, race down long slides that track your time, and so much more. I also appreciate the healthy food selections.

Thank you for taking time to share your review of NYSCI. We're thrilled you and your grandchildren enjoyed your visit. On your next visit, be sure to check out our Little Makers workshops and visit our PreSchool Place.

Thank you for taking time to review your experience at NYSCI. Yes, the world's largest Gingerbread village is our main attraction this holiday season, but that's just the beginning. We hope you will visit us again soon.

A very nice location located in Flushing Meadow Park which was the location of the 1960's World Fair. The Hall of Science has interesting exhibits especially for children, The Hall of Science is located adjacent to the Queens Zoo which is also worth the visit. After visiting the Hall of Science and the oo you can take a stroll in the park which still has some of the structures from the World's fair. You can very easily spend the entire day and enjoy yourself. This is well worth the visit.

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, World Maker Faire is a true collaboration between Maker Media and NYSCI. We're glad you were able to experience it and hope you'll come back next September to experience World Maker Faire 2015!

Attended Maker Faire in Sept 2014, this was a top notch event for ages 3-100Well worth price of admission, really need 2 days to see everything.If your child is not into science or building things, this fair will change thatWIIFI and an app while onsite enhanced the whole experienceParking at Citifield was well run, as line got big for buses, you could here supervisors yelling on their phones, get more busses to the lot, within 10 minutes, 5 buses came, no more lineTop Notch for families, kudos to the information booths and technical staff

Was here for the World Maker Faire, but saw enough of the NY Hall of Science to share that it is well worth your time and energy to visit as a family.

Thank you for taking time to share your experience at NYSCI. We're glad you had fun with your family. We have more than 450 exhibits that are all hands-on by design, which means that they all require a little TLC from time to time. Hopefully, you found more opportunities to explore and be amazed than you found out-of-order signs.
