NYFE Summary
The Great Hall uses small pieces of glass set into concrete to form its walls. More than 5,000 glass panels cover the facade. Architect Wallace K. Harrison had used the same glass-and-concrete technique for a church in Connecticut.
The museum builds its exhibits around learning through making and play. Visitors can explore hands-on science displays, while films, Rocket Park Mini Golf and other activities extend the visit. Some experiences require an additional ticket, so check what each admission option includes.
