Start your tour right by visiting NYCââ¬â¢s latest attraction - Gulliverââ¬â¢s Gate! This interactive and immersive world boasts a 50,000 square-foot display of miniatures that is located right in the center of Times Square. Several design teams in workshops from around the world worked to bring the various miniature worlds to life. The exhibit wraps around a whole city block!
Next, head on over to National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey ââ¬â Times Squareââ¬â¢s latest attraction - to satisfy your deep-sea curiosity. This first-of-its kind immersive entertainment experience utilizes cutting-edge technology to transport guests on an incredible underwater journey. Visitors journey across the Pacific Ocean with family and friends, all the way from Australia to California, to interact with and encounter the oceanââ¬â¢s greatest wonders and magnificent creatures.
Your undersea journey begins in the shallow seagrasses off the Solomon Islands. Get fascinated by plankton, jellyfish and bioluminescent corals that surround you in the Reef Room. Take in the sounds and sights of creatures that dwell in the darkness of the deep ocean as you step in to profound darkness in the Deep Sea room. Learn more about Humboldt squids as you find yourself in the middle of a ferocious squid battle. Walk through a kelp forest past the Hawaiian Islands and off to the California coast. Here, come face to face with playful sea-lions following you as you wander around. Next, encounter humpback whales, dolphins, great white sharks, sting rays and other aquatic creatures in a two-story high theater!
The interactive nature of the museum will leave you excited with a sense of fun and wonder at all the creatures that call the Pacific seabed home!
