The High Line—a former elevated railway that has been transformed into one of the City’s most popular parks—offers incredible views of Manhattan’s west side, places to sit and relax, and greenery surrounded by stunning architecture. The science-minded should hit it on Tuesday evenings (April–October) for stargazing; members of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York are on hand as guides.

Evolution Store

687 Broadway
Fans of creepy-crawly critters and anatomy will feel right at home among the taxidermied animal heads and preserved specimens. Real animal skulls, replicas of human ones and bracelets made from actual beetles for sale. But the store is more museum than it is tchotchke central, with science and natural history collectibles, and unique decor sure to spark conversations in your home.

Museum of Mathematics

635 Sixth Ave.
MoMath takes a subject that’s not classically kid-friendly and turns it into something exciting for folks big and small. Pedal square-wheeled tricycles, solve tricky puzzles and discover the ways that math is all around us, even when we’re not thinking about it.

Holographic Studios

240 E. 26th St.
The world’s longest-running gallery of holographic artwork is a New York City institution. It’s a museum offering tours of its massive collection of holography; a studio that runs classes for those interested in the art; a shop that sells gifts; and a production company that can guide you through any hologram project.

Gulliver’s Gate

216 W. 44th St.
Located in Times Square, Gulliver’s Gate takes our very large world and shrinks it down to miniature size. See tiny versions of NYC’s most famous landmarks, such as the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal, along with the great attractions of Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Parts of the landscape move, there’s running water and a 3-D scanner stands ready to make a mini model of you.
