New York City, known as The City that Never Sleeps, is living up to its moniker, especially in Midtown Manhattan. In addition to its always-changing lineup of Broadway shows and museum exhibitions, that area of the city welcomed new attractions in 2017, including the following three NTA members.
Gulliver’s Gate features more than 300 miniature buildings and 1,000 model train cars representing locations around the world. The attraction covers more than 23,000 square feet on the ground floor of the former New York Times building, and visitors can get a giant’s-eye view as they check out 3D-printed replicas of Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.
The National Geographic ENCOUNTER: Ocean Odyssey adds to the new New York when it debuted in Times Square in October 2017. The walk-through experience uses virtual reality technologies to show visitors breathtaking undersea locations.
