I just want to share my pure satisfaction with Mad Science where my daughter's 6th birthday party…read moretook place today. After a fair share of birthday parties over the years, I can honestly say the two ladies that covered today (Peggy Planet and Letti Lightyear) were incredible. These women did not stop working for a minute since we arrived and managed to keep roughly 16 6 years and a handful of younger siblings enthralled and engaged for 90 minutes straight before lunch. They did more than a handful of experiments including dry ice (creating smoke which was fun), making slime, and they used acetone to melt objects and many other experiments that proved to be both educational and entertaining. The team also took charge of getting the kids food and drink and kept reiterating that they were there to help (and clean up) not us. My daughter loved it and I am sold on doing other events and classes at Mad Science just to experience this level of professionalism again. Huge shout out to them!

Came here for a birthday party for 3/4 year olds. If you're not familiar with the area this area…read morehas a lot of restaurants and night life so it's a bit odd for a kids play yard. When you enter there's a spot to place your shoes which is like a shoe display area which is a bit different and kind of cool. You have to check in at the front desk before they unlock the gate to allow you in. There's a bathroom to your left then another bathroom located on the other side of the under 18 month play area. They have a lot are rideable cars for the kids. The set up is pretty cool too it's like a large tree house. There's also a water area, a make believe grocery store and the 18 month and younger play area. Something for all the kids up to age 6. The back right is the area where they serve food which is equiped with a soda machine. My friend told me all the food was cateredby twinkle. Pizza and pasta was good. Wings were ok. Fruit platter was good especially for the kids and the fries were soggy but my 1 year old didn't mind. The cake was chocolate and vanilla. I had the chocolate which was really moist and not too sweet. Party experience here was really great and it was from 5 to 8 so it was nice we had the entire area to ourselves.

We visited the New York Aquarium on Jun 26, 2025 as part of the Road Scholar's "American Mosaic -…read moreAn NYC Exploration" program. Tickets were provided by our tour group. Parking isn't free, or cheap. We didn't have to worry about that since we took the subway. We started at Glover's Reef and slowly moved through Conservation Hall. By "we", I meant me. There was a lot of people, and they kept walking into my shots. That meant waiting and more waiting, but it was worth it. From Conservation Hall, I exited to an outdoor area known as Sea Cliff. This area housed the otters, sea lions and penguins. More on Sea Cliff later. I approached the Ocean Wonders: Sharks! building, went in, and was immediately greeted by the wonderful underwater glass tunnel. This was easily the most impressive gallery in the aquarium. Multitudes of marine creatures were swimming over my head with every step I took. It was breathtaking. The rest of Ocean Wonders was all about sharks... mostly. There were rays, turtles and other fishes too. Next was the Spineless and PlayQuarium building. The Spineless gallery was not impressive, with the spider crabs and the octopus being the only standouts. No sturgeons. The collection of fishes wasn't as impressive as Ocean Wonders or Conservation Hall. We bypassed the PlayQuarium and into the gift shop. Last but not least, the sea lions. They were adorable. I took some videos but am unable to post them here. They can be found in my YouTube channel @1Somber. Look for "2025-1: American Mosaic - An NYC Exploration" playlist, and the "Day 5: Sea Lions" video. Thankfully, we didn't have to pay for our tickets. If we had, I would insist on visiting the 4-D Theater and the Aquatheater. But we did not due to lack of time. We were given less than 2 hours and the time was almost up when we were done with the main exhibits. The New York Aquarium is definitely comparable with the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA. The visit was enjoyable. It's worth visiting one time.

Visitor rating: 4/5 | Local rating: 3/5…read more As a visitor, I really enjoyed this aquarium! I hadn't been in years, and it was great to see all the updates and changes. During my visit, I saw jellyfish, sea lions, seals, otters, penguins, fish, and sharks. There's plenty to see both indoors and outdoors. The aquarium also does a sea lion show twice a day, and there's a new sea tunnel where sharks and other sea life swim all around you--it's really cool! After your visit, you can walk along the boardwalk and explore the nearby area. I rated it lower as a local (3/5) because if the exhibits don't change often, it can feel a bit repetitive and less worth the price. Overall, a fun visit--I'll definitely be back. Check out the aquarium today!
