The Visitors Center is a must go to for anyone touring NYC.

The first step for most seasoned tourists is The Visitors Center. It tells you what to visit, the hours the site is open, latest museum exhibits, latest Broadway shows. It's truly a fountain of information!!!

Tried to visit today but it's closed with no warning. What will happen to that elegant Embassy Theatre lobby, the New Years' Ball, those lovely costumes, and films shown? They also had the only public restrooms in the area and a great gift shop. Farewell...More

The best way to be apart of NYE in NYC at any time of the year!

We loved the Times Square Visitors Centre. There isn't that much to see and do there, but the two things that drew us to it was the ability to be part of NYC's NYE celebrations. The ball that drops at midnight from the previous year...More

Pretty cool

We stopped in here while walking around to warm up. It was cool to see the new years eve ball up close. They had a good selection of maps & such. Other than that I wouldn't make a special trip here. But it is free.

Nice free pop-in with area info

Convenient location open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Offers local maps and traveler information on sites, transportation, etc...The NYE ball is located inside for the celebration. You can make a wish, write it down on provided "confetti" paper and it gets dispursed during the celebration.
