What people are saying? (Google Reviews Summary)

The New York Hall of Science is a quirky, hands-on playground for the young at heart,perfect for couples who want to unleash their inner child.

Forget your typical art gallery date, this place is about getting stuck in. The interactive exhibits will have you pulling levers and blowing bubbles like it's a science fair on steroids. It's not just for kids,adults can get pleasantly swept away by curiosity too.

Pro tip: Brace yourself for some retro vibes with exhibits that have a charming '80s educational movie feel. It's nostalgic in a way that might just spark some childhood memories. The Mathematica exhibit is like stepping into Bill Nye's childhood dream.

Swing by the space-themed mini-golf if you’re willing to shell out a few extra bucks. But really, the whole thing is a love letter to nerds everywhere. You might leave with a PhD in fun.
