About This Place
The New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens is one of the largest science museums in the United States. Housed in an iconic building from the 1964 World's Fair, the museum offers hundreds of interactive exhibits across science and technology themes including biology, physics, light, sound, and engineering. An outdoor science playground for young children and a Rocket Park with full-size historic space launch vehicles make it one of New York City's most complete family science day-out destinations.
