Art Cart in Bryant Park
Bring the kids, pull up a chair and grab a marker… Art Cart is a free program located on the north side of the Public Library Terrace where children imaginations are able to run wild on paper. From now until the end of October, 11am-8pm on daily basis if weather permits, Bryant Park Art Cart provides craft supplies for children to use. The drawing lesson consists of an artist teaching drawing techniques such as lines, shading, and crosshatching on paper. These techniques will help children learn to express themselves and teach them the foundation of visual art. The Structured Play is where two artists lead a one-hour specialty class. Programs include collages, pattern stencils and many creative projects that all children will love to make. Kids are allowed to color and create whatever they want. This event is completely free and worth stopping by to enjoy with your creative children.

Ghostbusters fans will surely love the experience. Guests will also have a chance to upgrade to “Ghostbusters: Dimension Hyper-Reality Experience” which has players utilizing THE VOID’s technology to allow players to step beyond reality and into the world of the Ghostbusters. Within this world, kids are able to team up in threes, will grab proton packs and suit up for their very own ghost-busting quest, trapping and blasting their way through New York City apartment.
The second coolest part of Madame Tussauds is the Marvel 4D Experience where Marvel lovers can take pictures with their wax-figure super heroes such as Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and many more. The Marvel 4D Experience has audience members, wearing 3D glasses, to enjoy and interact their favorite Marvel movie. It’s not your typical boring movie theatre experience. The Marvel 4D is different because of how children are able to touch and see things come from the movie. Lastly, this Museum has over two hundred waxed figures of celebrities and famous people dispersed over five different floors. Selena Gomez fans are able to check out their singer at Madame Tussauds or Football players to see their idol, Eli Manning. Madame Tussauds New York, prominently located in the heart of Times Square, is more than just a wax museum. It’s a great family experience that children will never forget.
