Overview

Join our guided walking tour of the site of the New York World’s Fairs of 1939/40 & 1964/65!

• Historian and World's Fair collector Kyle Supley will lead you on a fun-filled and fascinating walk, in which you'll hear about the planning and construction of the Fairs, while seeing the sites of the Fairs' most famous exhibits, including where Salvador Dali had his living art installation, where Michelangelo’s Pieta graced the grounds, where the first talking (and smoking) robot entertained, and where two time capsules still exist (and will until the year 6939)!

• You'll see why the Fairs were located here, the drama of planning and construction, and the Fairs eventual conversion into Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
