1. The Met 360° Project
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has offered virtual tours since 2016. The Met 360 Project lets you explore The Great Hall, the Temple of Dendur and even the Met Cloisters Garden from your couch. While the videos are playing, you are invited to actively participate. Instead of just watching a video, you can change the direction of the camera by clicking or tapping your finger and explore at your own leisure.

Tour the AMNH
3. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
In the same way that the American Museum of Natural History lets you tour the museum, New York’s Guggenheim Museum has also partnered with Google to bring you into the museum using the “Street View” mode. You can also walk the famous snail-shell-shaped corridor from the entrance to the very top!

7. Online Exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York
The Museum of the City of New York has now exhibited many of his works online, which you can view here. If you’ve already explored the MoMA, you should already be an expert at navigating Google Arts and Culture.

8. Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Video Gallery
The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Intrepid does not offer a virtual tour in the same way that other cultural institutions do but their website offers a comprehensive video gallery. Some of the videos feature tour guides and behind-the-scenes footage.
tour the video gallery
9. Audio Tour of the 9/11 Memorial Museum (narrated by Robert de Niro)
A virtual tour of the 9/11 Memorial Museum is available to members only and a membership costs $75 a year. If you do not want to spend the money but still explore the museum, there is another option. I just downloaded their audio guide via the app (190 MB). It guides its listeners through the most important parts of the museum. The app is available for both iOS and for Android.
iOS or Android
10. Watch & Listen by Lincoln Center
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center has decided to live stream concerts to audiences at home. You can access a variety of concerts, even after they have been broadcast. Check out the list below.
Watch live streams
11. Stars in the House
As Broadway went dark, The Actors Fund quickly acted and created a mini-show called “Stars in the House” on Youtube. Every day, you get insight into Broadway actors’ lives and careers. Of course, the streams wouldn’t be complete without a live performance.

Take a virtual tour of these NYC cultural institutions from home
Stuck inside? You can still experience some of New York’s best cultural offerings from your home
![new york city virtual tour](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/5dSQlyo_4vjNFfbfLRAx_Iv3brc=/0x0:4681x3392/1200x800/filters:focal(1967x1322:2715x2070)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/66514413/GettyImages_153389015__3_.7.jpg)
New Yorkers are spending more time at home than likely ever before, as the novel coronavirus pandemic has led to limits on how many people can gather in one place at any given time, and the widespread closure of the city’s myriad cultural institutions.
But many of those institutions—museums, parks, performing arts centers, libraries, and more—have risen to the challenge, providing virtual access to their buildings and collections. In a challenging time, these virtual experiences offer New Yorkers many ways to stay entertained and connected to the city’s plethora of incredible cultural offerings.
Below, find a list of what’s available from various online platforms, museums, and more.
Several New York City museums can be experienced via Google’s Arts & Culture platform , including the Met , the Museum of Modern Art , the Brooklyn Museum , and the Cooper Hewitt . In addition to providing a glimpse at those museums’ collections, the platform also lets you explore their buildings—so if you’ve never visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s nautilus-inspired Guggenheim building , now’s the time to do so (virtually).
Some museums also have virtual tours or exhibitions on their websites, including the Frick , the Museum of the City of New York , the Whitney Museum , the New-York Historical Society , the New York Public Library , The New York Transit Museum , and the Tenement Museum .
In a partnership with the New York Latino Film Festival, each week El Museo del Barrio will feature shorts, films, and documentaries from the fest on its website. The American Museum of Natural History is sharing previously recorded tours via its Facebook and Twitter accounts . History buffs can listen to more than 350 oral histories from New Yorkers on the Coney Island History Project’s website in addition to exploring their online collections .
Many city museums have also shared items from their collections using the hashtag #MuseumAtHome and #MuseumMomentofZen on Twitter—both are good to follow if you need a moment of levity in the middle of a stressful time.
Though New York City’s library branches are closed, many of the services that they provide—including access to e-books, research materials, and more—are available digitally. See what’s available via the New York Public Library , Brooklyn Public Library , and the Queens Public Library .
Many city parks remain open, but one of the most popular outdoor spots—the High Line—has closed for now. But you can still go on a virtual tour of the elevated park through Google Arts & Culture .
Looking for some activities in honor of Earth Day? The Museum of the City of New York has a bevy of resources for young environmentalists . A video explains the day’s origins and features readings of two ecologically themed picture books. For a jaunt in the outdoors without physically going outside, the New York City Parks Department offers virtual tours of some of its flagship green spaces, including Central Park and the Staten Island Greenbelt . The Parks@Home webpage also offers an array of digital content including live broadcasts from park rangers, of how-tos for up-cycled art projects, and of meditation sessions.
At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Sakura Matsuri , or cherry blossom festival, has been an annual tradition since 1982. The garden was forced to cancel this year’s festival, but it’s still possible to admire the blossoms from afar: virtual tours will be available on its Instagram and Facebook pages.
And the Natural Areas Conservancy has a nifty online map that charts the more than 20,000 acres of the city’s natural areas—forests, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, and streams—if you’re hankering for some outdoor exploration.
The New York Landmarks Conservancy has a video series called “Tourist In Your Own Town,” which takes viewers on tours of historic landmarks (including President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace and the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum).
The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission has launched Seneca Village Unearthed , an online exhibit and collection of artifacts from what was once New York City’s largest community of free African-American landowners. The exhibit offers access to nearly 300 artifacts for a glimpse of what life was like for Seneca villagers in the mid-19th century.
Urban Archive is another resource chock full of digital resources to explore in partnership with 40 museums, cultural organizations, and government agencies. The archive offers a seemingly endless collection of curated historic images and their histories. For instance, as part of the #NewYorkfromHome campaign, the Municipal Arts Society and Urban Archive create two digital tours: Epidemic, New York in 1918 , and Hospitals through History .
The 92nd Street Y has also made videos from its archives available to watch at home, and will livestream some of its planned concerts.
In the first in a series of online shows created for the Pace Gallery, the digital exhibit Saul Steinberg: Imagined Interiors brings together drawings, collages, and photographs by New York-based cartoonist and illustrator Saul Steinberg. The show explores interior spaces as sites for introspection and creativity, and will be on view online until April 6.

The Downtown Experience: NYC Virtual Reality Tour
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/world-trade-e1614961409454.jpg)
Even though I lived in NYC city for 13 years, I still enjoy playing tourist. I also think virtual reality rides are fun, it’s neat to be transported to another place or time.
In New York, I have gone on many tours, but never one that incorporated virtual reality until I had the opportunity to try the Downtown Experience. It’s a fun way to explore downtown Manhattan.
Keep reading for my review of the Downtown Experience.
Note: This post contains affiliate links. Please see disclosure for more information.
What is the Downtown Experience?
Your virtual reality headset, downtown nyc tour introduction, downtown tour highlights, what i learned from the downtown experience, wrapping up the virtual reality tour, logistics for the downtown experience logistics, is the downtown experience tour worth it, experts tips for the downtown experience.
The Downtown Experience is an NYC virtual reality experience tour from the same company that offers the Tour and the Ride. You may have seen their unique buses (more on that below) in Manhattan.
If you hadn’t guessed from the name, the Downtown Experience tour explores downtown Manhattan. You will see many points of interest and learn more about the history of New York City. The Downtown Experience lasts 90 minutes and is included in most NYC tourist passes or you can buy tickets just for the tour.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bus.jpg)
The Downtown Experience Bus
You have never been inside a tour bus like this! It is designed to provide the best views possible for everyone on board. All the seats face the left side, which is floor to ceiling windows, and the ceiling is glass too. There are three rows of stadium style seating, with each row higher than the one below it. No matter where you sit on the bus, you will have a great view. I sat in the first row right by the aisle so that I would have a little extra space for my leg brace.
In addition to the great views through the windows, there were also several small screens that would play video. To be honest, most of the time I didn’t watch the videos because there was so much to see through the windows.
Each person gets a virtual reality headset. Just to be clear, this is virtual reality not augmented reality like Pokemon Go. The headset is fully adjustable so it will fit any size head. We had time to try them on and get them fitted before the Manhattan experience tour started. There is also a button to adjust the focus.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/headset.jpg)
During this time you can see aerial shots of New York City. It felt like I was in a helicopter over Manhattan because as I moved my head I could see more. The headset allows for views any way you look – behind you, above you, etc. I loved the views over Central Park .
You won’t wear your headset the whole tour and they turn off by themselves when you set them down. If at anytime you have issues with your headset during the tour, you just raise your hand. There were several staff members on board to assist. I did not have any issues with my headsets or notice anyone else having issues during our lower Manhattan tour.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/anisa-with-headset-e1521772947409.jpg)
Before the bus started moving, our tour guide Alex introduced himself and then played a short virtual reality video for us. It was an original song about the history of New York starting from the ice age. It was fun to watch and look around to see what else you could see.
I kept thinking it would be funny to also watch everyone wearing their headsets and watching the video. I also couldn’t tell if the bus was moving or not, but when the video ended and we took off our headsets we were still in the starting spot.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/downtown.jpg)
Of course, you will see most of the main points of interest downtown including the World Trade Center, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Castle Clinton, City Hall, and more on the Downtown Experience tour. What makes it different from other tours is that it is the virtual reality videos which were both fun and informative.
Some of the other virtual reality videos were more historical. It was fun to go back in time and be in the middle of the inauguration of George Washington (well a reenactment of it), see New Yorkers reactions to the Stock Market crash, and also see what it was like for Irish immigrants traveling to NY in boats. There were a few times during the downtown bus tour when our guide mentioned how important immigrants have been to NYC. I thought back to our visit to the NYC Tenement Museum.
In addition to the virtual reality experiences, there were some songs and videos to go along with them. As we were approaching the World Trade Center, they played a video about September 11th. I was so into the video it took me awhile to realize that the accompanying rap music was being performed live right outside the bus. A man dressed in a suit carrying a briefcase was rapping right in front of us. I thought that was a nice touch!
If you have time, you should also visit the 911 Memorial and Museum .

I definitely learned several things about NY and its history. Given I lived in the city for 13 years, that is saying something.
I can’t give away all their secrets but I had no idea P.T Barnum played a role in the history of the city. Plus, I learned some interesting facts about the Brooklyn Bridge and Castle Clinton.
Of course, with all the hype around Hamilton the Broadway show, our tour guide pointed out a few Alexander Hamilton connections that I didn’t know about. Also, I thought it was fascinating that there is a church to honor the first American born saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton. I am going to have to read a little more about her life.
After 90 minutes the Downtown Experience came to an end, but we didn’t leave empty handed! They gave us each our own cardboard virtual reality headsets that will work with our phones.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/virtual-reality-box.jpg)
You are instructed to download the Timelooper app, within the Timelooper app you can download some virtual reality videos. You need to download the videos while you are still in the area, otherwise, the app will tell you that you are out of range. The Timelooper app has a few other virtual reality videos that you can purchase and it looks like more will be coming soon.
![new york city virtual tour The Downtown Experience: A NYC Virtual Reality Tour - Two Traveling Texans](https://twotravelingtexans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/virtual-reality.jpg)
The instructions to fold the cardboard virtual reality headset are on the inside of the box it came in. I tried it and was pretty impressed considering it was just cardboard and my phone!
Please note the bus will drop you off at Pier 16, which is about a block from where you started at 200 Water Street.
The bus will pick you up at 200 Water Street right in front of the Starbucks. There was scaffolding covering the Starbucks sign when I went. The instructions said to be at the meeting spot 15 minutes before the tour is scheduled to begin. Five minutes later the bus arrived and they asked that we form a line along the curb. They checked our tickets and after a few minutes, we were able to board the bus.
I recommend getting your Downtown Experience tickets in advance. If you have a sightseeing pass like the NY Pass it is included ( Click here to get more information on the NY Pass ) or you can purchase them separately online . Currently (as of 11/30/18), you can book The Ride, The Tour, and The Downtown Experience and save $15 per ticket using the code: SAVE15 . You don’t need to print your ticket but you should save it to your phone because they will ask to see it.
Yes. While there are cheaper tours that you can take, the Downtown Experience is unique with the special bus and virtual reality headset. I thought it made the tour more entertaining and interesting. It’s something that you won’t soon forget.
Have you ever done a virtual reality tour in NYC or somewhere else? I would love to hear about your experience.

Description.
Join Senior Planet and our tour guides from Discover Live for a variety of world tours….Zoom with us as we walk the streets with experienced Discover Live tour guides – in real time and LIVE.
Destination: New York City, New York
New York City – an iconic cultural melting pot and vibrant metropolis that has captivated the world for centuries. On today’s “Broadway to the Battery” tour, we’ll explore the southern tip of Manhattan, making our engaging walking journey from the urban canyon of Broadway down to the scenic Battery Park. Be prepared to experience famous landmarks while learning captivating stories along the way.
Our tour begins in Foley Square, lying over a near-forgotten 17th century African burial ground. From there, we’ll head down the iconic Broadway corridor, diving into its rich history’s transformation from a Native American trail to the bright lights of today’s Theater District. You can’t miss the striking new Oculus transportation hub along the way – a symbolic phoenix risen from the ashes of the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center site. Our path takes us to the Wall Street area, the economic heartbeat of NYC dating back to the dawn of American stock trading outside Federal Hall and the imposing New York Stock Exchange. We’ll make our final stop at Bowling Green, the city’s oldest public park featuring the beloved Charging Bull statue and Customs House with its unique history. By the end, you’ll have experienced some of Lower Manhattan’s most iconic sights and discovered rich stories along the “Broadway to the Battery” journey.
At the end of the tour, we invite you to stay on for an exclusive 15-minute demo with a Senior Planet Technology Trainer. You’ll have an opportunity to discover a unique aspect we’ve uncovered during the tour – something special that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the New York experience. You won’t want to miss this fascinating and interactive demonstration.

Highly recommend this experience to the people of NY and all visiting tourist. I the history lesson is invaluable but the ride is the icing on the top. Definitely will be doing it again.
I think I enjoyed this exhibit the most because I am a native New Yorker. The exhibit goes into how New York City has been at the center of many world-changing moments and how it has resulted in being the center of things like fashion, music, architecture, entertainment and more. There are cute vignettes you can take your picture with including the set of The Honeymooners and friends and The Tonight show. At the end of the exhibit, there is a 7-minute ride that is pretty cool. I wish we could get on the ride multiple times but once you exit, you are leaving the building. You can go through the exhibits at your pace so it is easy for anyone who needs to rest or walk less.
Like a piece of Disneyworld in NYC, this fun attraction left us wanting to go back for more. It’s just the right amount of information in the very interesting set of museums - like a little historical buffet!- and the ride at the end reminded us of the “Soarin’” ride at Disneyworld, but without the 3 hour wait. It’s the right length, the right cost and great for kids and adults. Great way to add to your NYC experience!
I went with family AND friends and we all had an amazing time!! It was my 2nd time going because I had been raving about it since the first time! We were celebrating our friend's birthday. The staff was super friendly and the attractions were very nice, too! Some things you can touch, others you can't (understandably). This was a wonderful experience and I CANNOT say enough about the ride at the end!! It was what I really came for. I was screaming my head clean off my neck because it looked so real! I am looking forward to my 3rd time!!
Even as a native New Yorker- learned things I didn’t know! Great mural and great experience.
This was a great experience! I went for a work/team event and it was a fun way to celebrate NYC. I forget how "cool" NY is and this reminded me of all the great things it has to offer and its amazing history. Definitely do the VIP access. We arrived at the same time as a school and without it, we would have had a long wait.
Great experience! Brought some out-of-towners and they loved learning about NY! Great photo ops and the ride at the end is amazing and well done.
My family had a blast! RiseNY is a must-visit attraction that offers an unparalleled way to experience NYC with its unique blend of immersive exhibits and experiences that combine historical education, cultural exploration, and thrilling simulation. It is the perfect attraction to deepen your appreciation for the Big Apple and whether you're a local or a visitor, you'll find new reasons to love this iconic city. The grand finale is exhilarating!
Walking into this immersive museum feels like stepping through New York's history, where interactive exhibits and passionate guides bring the city's past vividly to life. It's an experience that deeply connects you to the essence of New York, from its struggles to its triumphs. You leave not just informed, but inspired, carrying a piece of the city's indomitable spirit with you.

![new york city virtual tour Rossilynne Skena Culgan](https://media.timeout.com/images/105920182/170/170/image.jpg)

From theatrical experiences to trippy digital art taking over massive spaces, there's no shortage of ways to be immersed in a different reality. With so many ways to be immersed, we decided it was high time to round up all the cool, immersive events, exhibits and experiences happening in NYC now and coming up soon so you won't miss the chance to experience something new and potentially mind-blowing.

Incredible immersive experiences in NYC
1. the strangers project at the oculus.
![The Strangers Project at the Oculus The Strangers Project at the Oculus](https://media.timeout.com/images/106158939/750/422/image.jpg)
A new immersive installation at the World Trade Center hopes to remind us of our shard connectedness by displaying thousands of anonymous hand written stories collected from all sorts of people.
The exhibition, called The Strangers Project , will be set up inside the South Concourse of the Oculus at the World Trade Center Thursdays through Sundays from 2pm until 7pm for an indefinite period of time.
Each note contains a true story by a stranger, ranging from hilarious tales to inspiring anecdotes and downright heartbreaking recountings. In the 15 years since the project started, Doman has collected more than 95,000 stories and allowed thousands of strangers to empathize with each other without ever meeting.
2. The Balloon Story
![The Balloon Story The Balloon Story](https://media.timeout.com/images/106158629/750/422/image.jpg)
Balloon Story , a "balloon wonderland," has taken over the Park Avenue Armory with a whopping 600,000 inflatables set up across different exhibit rooms. More than anything, the artistry involved in crafting monuments out of balloons will leave you amazed.
On display through August 24 (tickets are available right here ), Balloon Story offers patrons interactive activations—a balloon maze, for example, and a jungle ball pit—but it's the actual recreations of iconic landmarks and figures that are the highlight of the production: you'll find yourself staring at each one wondering, how, exactly, they were built.
The show is split into sections that range in theme but not in scope: the subjects are different but they are all built using “environmentally friendly” natural rubber.
3. "BLOOM: The Secret Wonders of New York’s Forgotten Eden" at HERO
!["BLOOM: The Secret Wonders of New York’s Forgotten Eden" at HERO "BLOOM: The Secret Wonders of New York’s Forgotten Eden" at HERO](https://media.timeout.com/images/106132836/750/422/image.jpg)
It’s hard to imagine anything else at the site of the iconic Rockefeller Center. But 200 years ago, long before the famed skyscraper was built, this land was home to a lush greenspace called Elgin Gardens—it was America’s first botanical garden.
A new immersive art experience will now explore that beautiful history in Rockefeller Center. HERO, which opened inside Rockefeller Center late last year near the ice rink, will debut “ BLOOM: The Secret Wonders of New York’s Forgotten Eden ” on May 15; it runs through the summer.
At the all-ages exhibit, expect to walk through eight interactive experiences that promise to engage your senses with a captivating soundscape, changing scentscapes, interactive digital components, and light and video installations.
4. "Aṣẹ: Afro Frequencies" at ARTECHOUSE
!["Aṣẹ: Afro Frequencies" at ARTECHOUSE "Aṣẹ: Afro Frequencies" at ARTECHOUSE](https://media.timeout.com/images/106142064/750/422/image.jpg)
Digital art and poetry have combined for a dive into Afrocentricity and Afrofuturism at this new immersive exhibit in Chelsea. " Aṣẹ: Afro Frequencies " is now open at ARTECHOUSE and runs all summer.
The digital art exhibition promises a "vibrant reflection upon the past, present, and future of the Black experience." It's told through the perspective of London-based Afro-surrealist digital artist Vince Fraser alongside evocative poetry by ursula rucker.
Both artists worked to honor the legacy, struggles, and complexities of the Black experience in their work. Even the exhibition's title, "Aṣẹ" stems from a powerful mantra, affirmation, and philosophical belief held by the Yoruba people of West Africa, meaning "so will it be." (By the way, that's pronounced as AH-shay.)
5. Mercer Labs
- Financial District
![Mercer Labs Mercer Labs](https://media.timeout.com/images/106089862/750/422/image.jpg)
Mercer Labs, Museum of Art and Technology is a unique new immersive museum created by Roy Nachum, the artist behind Rihanna’s famous 2016 “Anti” album cover, and his business partner Michael Cayre, a real estate developer. Not only are the visual elements striking and entertaining but certain rooms are specifically targeted towards the younger set while appeasing adults as well. A mere walk through Mercer Labs makes one thing clear: the immersive space can be much more than that given its size and the clear technological capabilities embedded in each room.
6. "The INTERnet" at INTER_
!["The INTERnet" at INTER_ "The INTERnet" at INTER_](https://media.timeout.com/images/106147550/750/422/image.jpg)
Basically a massive maze made of ropes, this new exhibit allows attendees to jump inside, climb, relax and even get lost in the whole webbed arrangement that’s comprised of 80,000 feet of handwoven rope, which is part of a 400-square-foot interactive artwork created by Treenet Collective, a net expert company.
Find "The INTERnet" at INTER_ , the interactive art center at 415 Broadway by Canal Street in Soho.
The installation, which accommodates 15 people at once, boasts a variety of different weaving styles, each one creating a "setting" for folks to dive into, including the "quantum leap," where guests can play in mid-air, and the "social network," a more serene space that will feel like you are floating above everyone else.
7. IMAGINARI: The Insect World
![IMAGINARI: The Insect World IMAGINARI: The Insect World](https://media.timeout.com/images/106126465/750/422/image.jpg)
Think bugs are creepy? Think again. That's the message of IMAGINARI, an immersive art and science experience in Manhattan.
The year-long exhibition called The Insect World shows just how cool—and important—bugs actually are. You’ll get to walk through fields of 6-foot flowers, come face-to-face with Picasso bug artwork, and see a mantis partying under a disco ball. Larger-than-life ladybug sculptures dot the floor, and 200 faux monarch butterflies perch on a 12-foot cherry blossom tree. It all adds up to an important message of environmental stewardship.
Tickets are on sale now for $36; the all-ages exhibition will be on view until April 2025.
8. The FRIENDS Experience: The One in New York City
- Things to do
![The FRIENDS Experience: The One in New York City The FRIENDS Experience: The One in New York City](https://media.timeout.com/images/106066894/750/422/image.jpg)
Live like Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe at The FRIENDS Experience: The One in New York City . It's basically an immersive museum celebrating the '90s sitcom. You'll get to walk through rooms that look exactly like the ones on the TV show.
Photo opportunities abound. There’s a chance to pose with the “Pivot” couch, a backdrop that looks like the Vegas chapel, and a photo opp with Phoebe’s grandma’s taxi. You can even pose on top of Pat the Dog, snap a photo with the giant poking device and take a selfie in Monica’s apartment. Using high-quality cameras, staff take photos at each spot, which you can purchase at the end. But staff will also take free photos with your cell phone if you ask.
It's not just a selfie museum, though. There's a fascinating display featuring the show's costume designer Debra McGuire where you'll learn about her sartorial choices for each character. Another exhibit spotlights artist Burton Morris, whose Pop art pieces decorate Central Perk. Other display cases feature set designs, signed scripts, props and costumes.
9. The House of Cannabis, NYC’s weed museum
- Weird & Wonderful
![The House of Cannabis, NYC’s weed museum The House of Cannabis, NYC’s weed museum](https://media.timeout.com/images/105992949/750/422/image.jpg)
Many museums start with some kind of orientation, like a map or remarks from a docent. But not The House of Cannabis (a.k.a. THC NYC), the new weed museum in Soho. Instead, this museum starts, quite fittingly, with a trippy “Disorientation Room.”
While this museum boasts plenty of mind-bending multi-sensory bells and whistles, it also showcases art, highlights science and confronts the social justice issues baked into cannabis prosecution. The museum, the first of its kind at this scale, packs every inch of its four-story, 25,000-square-foot space at 427 Broadway with fascinating facts and delightful immersive experiences fit to entertain both tokers and non-smokers alike. Tickets ($45/adult) are on sale now .
10. Sleep No More
- Theater & Performance
![Sleep No More Sleep No More](https://media.timeout.com/images/106065263/750/422/image.jpg)
The McKittrick Hotel is home to the world-famous production of Sleep No More , a “site-specific, immersive experience” that blurs the line between audience and actor, stage and seating. It began previews in March 2011 and has been continuously extended over the past decade.
But the lights are fading out as Sleep No More concludes its nearly 13-year run on September 29, 2024 (an extended run). The pioneering performance has hosted over two million guests and has a sister run still ongoing in Shanghai, China.
Go see the show before it closes; here's our guide to making the most of the experience.
11. Summit One Vanderbilt
- Sightseeing
- Midtown East
![Summit One Vanderbilt Summit One Vanderbilt](https://media.timeout.com/images/105813604/750/422/image.jpg)
Get ready for heart-pounding experience in the sky unlike any other experience atop a skyscraper. Summit One Vanderbilt sits atop the new 67-floor One Vanderbilt super-tall—a 1,401-foot-high—skyscraper.
As the city's fourth-tallest building after One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower and 111 West 57th Street, it sits just west of Grand Central Terminal, where you first enter the experience underground. After a trip through a mirrored hallway with its own immersive elements, visitors take an elevator up to the 91st floor, where they're 1,000 feet over the streets and sidewalks of NYC.
Kenzo Digital has created a totally mirrored infinity room called "Air" that reflects the sky and city views over and over, making you feel like you're walking in the sky or on another plane of existence. Looking above you and below you in this two-story space, you see your reflection repeating forever.
One of the coolest parts of the experience is that it changes with the weather and time of day. When the weather is nice, it'll look like you're walking among the clouds. When it's stormy, you'll see the rain fly sideways and around the building.
12. Sloomoo, a slime museum
![Sloomoo, a slime museum Sloomoo, a slime museum](https://media.timeout.com/images/105932037/750/422/image.jpg)
Part visual splendor, part olfactory wonder and part ooey-gooey sensory fun, Sloomoo Institute’s slime museum offers a captivating playground for all ages.
While Sloomoo is a highly Instagrammable experience, the founders hope you’ll spend some time away from your phone and immersed in the moment during your 90-minute visit to truly have the slime of your life. You can squish vats of slime, make your own slime to take home and even stand under a slime waterfall—that's truly immersive.
13. Coming soon: An immersive ‘Mean Girls’ experience
![Coming soon: An immersive ‘Mean Girls’ experience Coming soon: An immersive ‘Mean Girls’ experience](https://media.timeout.com/images/106031053/750/422/image.jpg)
Turns out, we're still trying to make fetch happen.
Coinciding with the release of the new Mean Girls movie, a new immersive experience based on the iconic film is scheduled to debut for a limited time in NYC this spring. The exact opening date is still TBD, so stay tuned.
The experience will involve a fast-casual restaurant serving cafeteria-style fare created by Master Chef semi-finalist Chef Becky Brown. Menu items include a “Stab Caesar” salad, the hilariously-named “burn book” burger sliders and a 1 3 5 Acai Bowl.
Passes aren't available yet, but we suggest you add yourself to the waitlist right here ASAP.
