Tons of people, tons of fun. Shopping, food, exciting lights.
Stay away from the Disney like figures, they will try to fleece you and they are very persistent. Also stay away from the bicycle carriages they will fleece you as well. It's something like $5 a minute and they will keep you in the carriage way beyond your expectation.

Great to say I have seen it. My husband was interested in the technology and clarity of the big screen displays.

The lights, ambiance and everything you see in the movies becomes real when you visit Times Square during the day and it is packed with so many people. My favorite time is just around midnight, I can see all the billboards, places that are open to eat or just walk as there are not so many tourists. It is so beautiful.

Its a must see location, felt very safe .. lots of NYPD around..
Lots of amazing shops , restaurants and theatre... just watch out for the crazy drivers!
