What travellers say about Middlesex County

5.0
1. It discusses astronomy, the origins of Earth, planets, and black holes, making it suitable for families with children.
2. It explores Chinese customs and features many related exhibits. As a Chinese person, it truly opened a new world for me, as I had never seen these things in China before. It's not just a display of artifacts, but a showcase of Chinese culture, such as traditional Chinese medicine, marriage customs, the worship of the God of Wealth, ancestor worship, the Forbidden City, and more.
3. It showcases Asian culture, covering various countries, with the Chinese section being the most extensive. Seeing this exhibition revealed that Vietnam was under Chinese rule for a period of time.
4. The African animal exhibit uses real animal skins, but they are stuffed with contents, which is quite meaningful.
5. It displays dinosaurs and their evolutionary process, including Archaeopteryx. The dinosaurs are genuine, and there are even dinosaur eggs. Overall, the focus is on education and understanding.

Located on the 100th floor of the 30 Hudson Yards building, it offers a unique perspective of the Manhattan skyline. Higher than other observation decks, the platform extends outwards, and the glass railings are tilted outwards at a 6.6° angle, making people feel as if they are suspended above the city when they are close to the glass.

The journey to the top of One World Trade Center is an experience in itself, culminating in a view that is nothing short of breathtaking. Stepping onto the observatory floor, you're greeted by a stunning, 360-degree panorama of New York City. Seeing the iconic grid of streets, the winding rivers, and famous landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty from this incredible height is profoundly impressive. The "Sky Portal" glass floor adds a thrilling perspective. For the most magical visit, book a ticket for just before sunset to watch the city transform from day to glittering night.#OneWorldObservatory #NYCViews #NYC #Skyline #NYCTravel #BucketList #NewYorkCity #Views
