Moe FerraraJuly 20, 2014the Avengers STATION is almost more for the 30s crowd than the kids. A lot of fun, though be prepared for lines for some aspects of the exhibit. Well worth the money and a must-see for Marvel fans!!
John ThrasherJanuary 13, 2013Harry Potter Exhibition is a must-see for even a casual Harry Potter fan. Get up close to the horcruxes and deathly hallows. Get sorted by the Sorting Hat. Excellent exhibit.
Time Out New YorkDecember 17, 2015In honor of the new Star Wars movie, come out to the Star Wars and the Power of Costume: The Exhibition for more than 70 preserved original costumes from the first two Star Wars trilogies. $27. Read more
Salwa KhanDecember 18, 2012Saw the Harry Potter film exhibition. Really neat if you love Harry potter--lots of original costumes and props from the movie. Not necessarily worth the $30 entrance fee if you're not a die hard fan
ClaireJanuary 20, 2013Its worth spending the $7 on the audio tour but buy stuff online, not the gift shop. The markup is mind blowing. $180 for a book that's $45 online. No photos rule ruins some fun, but a good exhibit.
Erik CintronJanuary 6, 2011this exhibit is here for a limited time and it was maze of mystery and awesome artifacts from b.c. Times and the music and layout made u feel like u were in those times...it took 1 1/2 to get through
Lisa VignaFebruary 21, 2012Always interesting exhibits! Saw Harry Potter over the summer. Going to see the CSI tonite and the Dead Sea Scrolls before April 15. FYI: Cake Boss bakery on lower level near souvenirs is a must try!
Blanca AcevedoJune 18, 2014Check out the costumes and interactive exhibits from the Marvel films and the TV show "Marvel's Agents OF S.H.I.E.LD". Captain America and Iron Man were my favorites!
Mitchell LivingstonDecember 6, 2015The Star Wars costume exhibit is impressive enough to almost make you forgive the prequels.
Andres CalderonSeptember 2, 2014We saw the avengers station exhibit and we liked it a lot. Especially the hulk and iron man exhibit.
Jason FlattJune 16, 2013Lego exhibit so awesome. A bit short but so worth it for the kid in you. Look at them from different angles and distances
Sharon B.August 9, 2014The Marvel Avengers exhibit was awesome! I shall go again sometime soon. Loved it!
Carmen CJanuary 27, 2011The King Tut exhibit is well worth the visit. The exhibit provides a myriad of treasures of the late King, from big ones to small ones. I was shocked at the amount of time I actually spent in there.
Bradley CarterJanuary 1, 2012Check out the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibition while it's around, but be sure to block off about two hours for it. It takes a while to see everything with the crowd.
Marissa BJuly 16, 2011Harry Potter was short, but cool if you are a fan. Muggles would probably be bored. Crowded though. Don't feel you have walk in line among the other lemmings. Pompeii was great! Combo tix save $.
Nicholas RMay 28, 2011Harry Potter is cool for major fanatics, but it's also very touristy! Pompeii keeps the tourists (albeit less than Potter), but offers a more fulfilling experience.- Sandra RMay 31, 2013Their exhibits beat other nyc museums anyway plus they sometimes have specials on tickets
Natalie MJuly 31, 2015The hunger games exhibit is sooo much better then the avengers one. Go for the hunger games if you have to pick one!
You ever have one of those days where you're forced to deal with a giant spider, a centaur, and a phoenix? Today is one of those days.- I'm working as the Head Artifact Handler here for the Harry Potter Exhibition and it is an amazing experience! Come check it out. :)
Ashley AvolaJuly 27, 2013The Art of the Brick exhibit is so amazing to see, but very short. I'm not sure it's worth $22.
Lindsey CollinsJuly 12, 2015Body works was very interesting! A learning experience for the entire family!
DaveSeptember 14, 2010Just went to the King Tut Exhibit with my family and it was amazing!! I'm not sure how the people below can even compare this exhibit to the Met, this is the only one with artifacts from his tomb!
Larry RubinJune 4, 2012Try the laser room and try to dodge the beams; then take your spy picture right outside of it!
Examiner.comApril 7, 2011A city that was buried in ash for over 1,500 years. Get a fascinating glimpse into the ancient city. Read more
DoraJuly 21, 2010Check out kid-friendly exhibits (like King Tut NYC) right in Times Square. Reserve tickets to avoid long lines, and eat before you enter – no food or drink is allowed. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
Luiz Filipe MachadoAugust 3, 2011The exhibits here are not just as in a museum. Discovery makes them more interactive
Lily JungJuly 7, 2016The Hunger Games exhibit was good if you have seen the movies. It was mostly about the costumes.
Emily RossSeptember 14, 2010The King Tut Exhibit was fascinating! So beautifully presented and well done. Looking forward to more exhibits at Discovery TSX!
Nicole HenningerJuly 11, 2011Pompeii was definitely worth the money for those who will never see the real city. Harry Potter was overly crowded and shorter than expected, but was ok. I don't know if I'd do the HP exhibit again.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzFebruary 11, 2016Went to see the Vikings exhibition, pretty comprehensive as a history overview, just not terribly engaging or exciting- Michael CollinsSeptember 14, 2010Had such a great time at the exhibit with my friends & fam. Traveled all the way from Boston to go and it was well worth it!
George CanellisMay 3, 2010King Tut exhibit was interesting but a shadow of the exhibit that was at the Met many years ago. All the elaborate gold items you'd expect to see are still in Egypt. Money is better spent elsewhere.
