New York City's hands-on science and technology center. The New York Hall of Science is a science museum located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens, in the section of the park that is in Corona.
(356)
It occupies one of the few remaining structures from the 1964 New York World's Fair and is New York City's only hands-on science and technology center. The more than 400 hands-on exhibits explore biology, chemistry, and physics.
Mission: NYSCI's mission is to nurture generations of passionate learners, critical thinkers and active citizens through an approach we call Design-Make-Play.

On January 16, 2021, we suffered a great loss in the science community with the passing of Sharon Begley. As an award-winning science journalist for publications such as STAT, Reuters, and Newsweek, she embodied the importance of communicating science to the public.
In 2019, we had the honor of welcoming her to the stage as the moderator for a panel on the topic of CRISPR. We know her impact will live on through her excellent journalism, making science accessible to all.
As we begin 2021, we express our thanks to all of the public officials who work diligently to support #NYSCI and the broader cultural community in NYC, with special acknowledgement for Senator Chuck Schumer whose leadership at the federal level is critical to our future.
Over the many months of deliberation over COVID relief, Senator Schumer has worked tirelessly to secure aid for New York’s cultural institutions, including making sure nonprofits were made eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program and securing $15B for Save Our Stages, enabling nonprofit organizations such as ours to survive this crisis so they can recover when we emerge from the pandemic.
This assistance has helped to ensure that #NYSCI will survive and emerge stronger from the pandemic. Our deepest thanks to Senator Schumer and all the elected officials whose dedication to public service is making the future possible.

Congratulations to the student winners of the Third Annual Gowanus Canal Conservancy’s Blue Schools Design Challenge! 🌳
An inspiring group of middle schoolers were challenged to develop infrastructure design concepts for their school campuses. With support from professional designers and landscape architects, youth voices were amplified in the discussion around environmental and social resilience.
Michaela Labriole, NYSCI’s Director of Strategic Education Initiatives, joined other New York City-based design and sustainability professionals on this year’s jury panel. Panelists provided feedback on projects while celebrating the students’ visions for more resilient and inclusive school campuses.
At NYSCI, we understand how environmental and social resilience are deeply intertwined; these young peoples’ work highlights the ability of green infrastructure to not just manage environmental impacts, but to also create spaces that contribute to more equitable, vibrant communities.
