Deets:
Celebrate New Year’s Eve every day with an interactive trip through Times Square’s history. Experience decades of celebrations, parties, and fun before stepping out onto the Times Square Skywalk to see the Crossroad of the World from an all-new vantage point.

Times Travel transports visitors back in time through centuries of Times Square history through interactive storytelling and immersive exhibits:

  • Cellar Crystal Core: Through a captivating blend of motion-activated photo portals and virtual storytelling, guests will access the “memories” of One Times Square in a way that bridges the past and present, creating a transformative encounter where history and innovation converge.

  • Times Machine: Board the “Times Machine,” a tech-enabled glass elevator that allows visitors to take in centuries of Times Square history in seconds.

  • Building One Times Square: Experience the construction of One Times Square as the headquarters of The New York Times through the eyes of its then owner, Adolph Ochs, and the workers who made it the tallest structure in New York when it was completed in 1904.

  • An Airship Above Manhattan: Fly through 1930s-era Manhattan and see the bridges and seaport as they were almost 100 years ago.

  • Decades of Change: Board a virtual taxicab that zips up Broadway in an adventure through history, passing by old Broadway theaters, marquee signs, and scenes and sounds from historic events that changed the neighborhood.

  • Eternal Midnight: Time ticks on, but the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square remains timeless as guests enter Eternal Midnight. The iconic New Year’s Eve Ball Drop is experienced from two unique perspectives: among revelers from the past century as they ring in the New Year, and from a virtual zipline through Times Square as the clock counts down to midnight. Past New Year’s Eve Balls, including a replica of the original 1907 Ball and the most recently retired “Big Ball” that rang in the new year from 2008-2025, will be on display for guests to observe and photograph.

The experience concludes on the Times Square Skywalk, a 360-degree wraparound viewing deck with river-to-river views and a glass walkway 19 floors above the Times Square plazas, offering a one-of-a-kind vantage point over the Crossroads of the World. Additional one-of-a-kind opportunities include the option to purchase a genuine Waterford crystal from the 2025 edition of the New Year’s Eve Ball.
