If you are interested in skyscrapers , building or architecture , or are just intrigued , it is worth checking out . It is only a small exhibition space , and will probably take up about an hour of your time . There is a very good exhibition on at the moment about the Woolworth Building , so I was... More

This museum is very small! It takes about a half hour to walk through. My favorite parts are the Burj Khalifa exhibit (the tallest building in the world) and the Freedom Tower exhibit. I've been there twice and I remember last time it was very hot in there because the air conditioning wasn't on but the overall experience is nice.

As previous reviewers have written, the Skyscraper Museum is very small. It can be difficult to locate. The museum is next to the Ritz Carlton in Battery Park City. I went to the museum to see “The Woolworth Building @ 100.” (The exhibition is open now until July 14, 2013.) I expected more. Perhaps never-before-seen photos of the building’s interior?... More

Entry is only $5 and whilst the place is relatively small, there are a lot of things to read (albeit somewhat generalist) and it certainly can fill an hour if you're milling about the Battery. Kids would be bored senseless very quickly though and there are no real facilities inside to speak of, save a very limited gift shop.

We love the skyscraper exhibit at Liberty Science Center. I expected this to be better. I should have realized that with the low cost ($5 pp) it wouldn't be great. We were very disappointed. We probably spent 30 minutes there. Just lots of signs to read about the history of building. Nothing hands on and not really anything about the... More

A gem of a museum. The current attraction ( Urban Fabric ) is a brilliant overview of New York's famed garment district. It mixes architecture, city planning, social history as well as fashion history and commercial real estate marketing. The other exhibits feature some fascinating photos, maps and models of the World Trade Center area before and after the 9/11... More

This is a small museum by Battery Park. Easy to miss. But it it is informative. There are a lot of interesting facts about buildings all over the world, but they do not explain where the buildings are. The fee is minimal, but it is a nice side note in NYC.

It was a very exasperating experience trying to find this museum. I even had a staff member on the phone but she couldn't help because the staffer didn't know any of the names of the streets adjacent to Battery PL. No sign - not allowed to have one they said. Since we had arranged and paid for a special tour... More

It started with a bored cashier. Continued with only one exhibition floor, no possibilty to sit down and have a rest, at least some interesting modells and photos, but nothing for an C-rating. My review shows that I was disappointed and expected more fascination, extent and love for details from the subject skyscrapers.
