New York! for Kids.

The space comprises of four activity zones – designed to engage with a variety of ages.

Across two zones, younger children can build their own miniature versions of Manhattan’s Uptown and Downtown using custom-designed wooden toy blocks that feature façades of New York buildings. The adjacent activity zones include a marble run, designed to emulate the hustle and bustle of the city with balls speeding from point to point across the city, and a photobooth activity, which highlights New York’s city skyline.
