Whether you have seen it from its appearances in movies like The Avengers or in TV Shows like Gossip Girl, Grand Central Terminal is globally recognized as a center of transportation. Over 750,000 people go through the terminal every single day! Come with us as we visit the largest train station in the world and learn more about this fascinating New York landmark.
After going through Grand Central Terminal, we will take a short walk over to Bryant Park. Each year during the holiday season, Bryant Park transforms into a Winter Village. The park is filled with twinkling lights, a large christmas tree, an ice skating rink, and much more! Visitors from around the world visit to shop from the wide selection of vendors. You will find anything from yummy hot cocoa to beautifully handmade candles. Skating admission is free if you bring your own skates. You can reserve your skate rental here.
We look forward to experiencing this Winter Village together!
Registration opens on November 2 at 9am.
Everyone is responsible for their own MTA subway ticket. Detailed instructions will be shared with those who sign-up!
