Built initially as a pavilion for the 1964 World’s Fair, the New York Hall of Science is now New
York City’s hands-on science and technology center. Since 1986, the Hall has served more than 5
million children, parents, and teachers.

The mission of the Hall is “to convey the excitement and understanding of science and
technology to children, families, teachers and others by galvanizing their curiosity and offering
them creative, participatory ways to learn.”
