It's not there anymore but hopefully it'll come back next year. I visited this exhibit twice and absolutely love it. I am a huge Harry Potter fan so this was right up my alley. The exhibit is filled with costumes and props from the movies. The best way to experience it would be to get the audio tour that tells...

Owner description:
Welcome to Discovery Times Square (Discovery TS) where extraordinary exhibits and unforgettable experiences come to life in our exciting, vibrant space for entertainment, learning and adventure.New York has always been something of a stage - a showcase for debuts and second acts. And so it is fitting that in the vast space that once housed The New York Times printing presses, Discovery Times Square now offers headlines of a different, but equally compelling sort.From the icy waters of the Titanic's final resting place to genius mind of Da Vinci and the riches of King Tut, Discovery is proud to celebrate the world with the world class exhibits of the new Discovery Times Square.Discovery TS also features two exclusive retail experiences — The Discovery Store featuring the latest in games, dvds and other products from the #1 nonfiction company in the world, Discovery Channel, and The New York Times Store with a wide range of exclusive items perfect for the newspaper enthusiast or history buff.

Discovery Times Square is the best place to take your family. They house traveling exhibitions. Being local to the area, I have taken my 14 year old triplets to see
- The Harry Potter Exhibition
- The Spy Exhibit
- The King Tut Exhibit
- The Pompeii Exhibition
- The Chinese Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibit
I can't afford to take...

It was alright. Good displays. But why are we not allowed to take photos? Gift shop was expensive. Would I go again? No.

We paid a lot of money to take the family to this exhibit, which consisted solely of some costumes and props allegedly from the museum. Nothing the kids could even touch. Not only was the admittance a lot of money, but at every turn they were looking for more. Despite their crowd control scheme, it was crowded, so it seemed...

We went to Discovery Times Square to see the Harry Potter exhibit, which may have left by now. However, the exhibit was wonderful. Cost, somewhat pricey! The location is easy to get to, right off Times Square.

Harry Potter and a spy exhibit entertained an 11 year old boy, but was expensive, commercial and corny.

I've found that the best time to visit Discovery Times is.. later in the day after lunch and before dinner. I've made the mistake twice going at opening and that is prime time for many bus groups to be there, as well as passholders. The exhibits are nice but they move you in lines and no matter how they try...

Normally, we don't do a lot (besides the occasional musical) in Times Square when we visit NYC---just too touristy---but my history buff son & I were looking for something different to do while my husband and daughter did some shopping in Soho. Luckily, we read about this interesting exhibit at Discovery on 44th Street. Virtually everyone else was going to...

This review is only for the Spy exhibit - we didn't visit Harry Potter. We found this was well worth the money. Our only regret was that we didn't have enough time. We arrived about one hour before closing, so crowds were relatively light. The exhibits were very informative and somewhat interactive as well. There are films, good explanations behind...

We enjoyed the exhibition, but only went because it was included in our New York pass. Not being big HP fans we were not too knowledgable about the exhibits but found it interesting and enjoyable. Seemed quite expensive if you were to pay full price.
