| About: | The New York Hall of Science is an interactive museum geared towards children. The Space Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair took place here, but now it houses more than 160 exhibits detailing the history and evolution of science and technology. A highlight is the outdoor Science Playground, a park filled with interactive games and displays, all designed to help children understand the human body. Fictional characters and scientific arts and crafts are used extensively much to the delight of the little ones here. |

My son just had his 4th birthday party at the Hall of Science on 5/16/09. I highly recommend it!! We had lots of fun and everything ran very smoothly. The party lasts about 2 hours and it includes a half hour in your own private section of preschool place and a half hour of your selected arts & crafts. The kids will love it!! The day we went was not crowded so we practically had the whole place to ourselves!! They will escort the party to various interesting exhibits. The best part is... there is free parking with the invitation for your guests and after the party is over, everyone can stay and browse around.
This is a great place for families. Excellent, engaging exhibits, superb outdoor Science Playground, wonderful after-school clubs (which we've done), summer programs (which we've wanted to do but haven't been able to fit in). Sections geared for older and younger kids; something for everyone including parents. They even have a lab for simple experiments! Also a fun place for kids' birthday parties (which we have done, and loved). Highly recommended.
its really fun and you learn alot without even knowing it, especially great for the kids. if you dont have any it brings the kid out of you.
