Review:
The New York Hall of Science, or NYSCI, is the only interactive science center in New York City, located within Queen's Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The museum is a top attraction for families and for World's Fair buffs alike, originally opened for the 1964 World's Fair and still housed within one of the park's only still-standing structures from the fair. Visitors can explore more than 400 science and technology-themed exhibits, including permanent exhibits such as a technology gallery, a science playground, a STEM-focused library, and an amateur radio station. Free museum admission is offered on Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings, with additional special free hours offered at select times throughout the year. Visitors should note that free museum hours are suspended during some museum special events, including the annual World Maker Faire. Some attractions, including the museum's miniature golf course and 3D Theater, require a ticketed upcharge even during free admission hours.
