We went to the Art of Bricks exhibit and the cost for two kids and two adults was $76. My kids were finished with the exhibit in 10 minutes and they saw everything which brings this "attraction" to about $456 per hour for a family of four. There are 100 "works of art" and some of them are small. Also,...

Owner description:
Welcome to Discovery Times Square (Discovery TS) where extraordinary exhibits and unforgettable experiences come to life in our exciting, vibrant space for entertainment, learning and adventure.New York has always been something of a stage - a showcase for debuts and second acts. And so it is fitting that in the vast space that once housed The New York Times printing presses, Discovery Times Square now offers headlines of a different, but equally compelling sort.From the icy waters of the Titanic's final resting place to genius mind of Da Vinci and the riches of King Tut, Discovery is proud to celebrate the world with the world class exhibits of the new Discovery Times Square.Discovery TS also features two exclusive retail experiences — The Discovery Store featuring the latest in games, dvds and other products from the #1 nonfiction company in the world, Discovery Channel, and The New York Times Store with a wide range of exclusive items perfect for the newspaper enthusiast or history buff.

We found the SHIPWRECK exhibit to be interesting to a point. It was fun to see the artifacts, and to learn how they were retrieved by the Odyssey ROV from various shipwrecks. My son enjoyed working the robotic arm. The hurricane simulation tubes were OK - I guess when you live near the ocean you are used to feeling winds...

My childhood dream came true when I visited Discovery Times Museum. You could actually see many minute details about the film objects. It has moved to other city now but where it is its a must watch. Discovery times museum gets the full credit of exhibiting it wonderfully and so acurately that it felt like I was in Hogwarts!!

We went for the Harry Potter Exhibition. That was great. A little crowded but it was still pretty fun. Wish I got to take part in the fun with the sorting hat!

Every now and then an exhibit comes along that changes how you see yourself and the way you live in the world. This exhibit is it. This is an original human anatomy exhibition that explains how the body works and how you and your environment affects how it works. The brochure stated that it takes an hour to an hour...

Very amazing exhibit of the human body in many different forms. What they are able to do with the displays is nothing short of unbelievable (imagine seeing all of the blood vessels in a human heart - fully exposed). Wow. The message of the exhibit was very anti stress, rat-race, and sugar/bad diets which I thought was interesting considering it...

We brought our very mature 13 y/o granddaughter whom is a big fan of the Harry Potter books. She loved the experience, and so did we. While we (her grandparents) did not know the details of the stories as she did, her enthusiasm and the excellent explanations of the props from the movies made it a fun time for us...

It's not there anymore but hopefully it'll come back next year. I visited this exhibit twice and absolutely love it. I am a huge Harry Potter fan so this was right up my alley. The exhibit is filled with costumes and props from the movies. The best way to experience it would be to get the audio tour that tells...
