About Discovery Times Square Museum

The Discovery Times Square Museum sits in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at 226 West 44th Street, a large-scale traveling exhibition venue known for immersive, temporary exhibits that bring iconic stories to life. Opened in 2009, the space offers up to 60,000 square feet of flexible exhibition space, with no fixed seating chart since layouts change with each show. While DTS itself closed in 2016 and the space later hosted National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey, the building remains a landmark in Times Square for fans of blockbuster and historically themed exhibitions. When planning a visit, consider that layouts vary by exhibit, so be prepared for a dynamic flow as you explore.

To make the most of your trip, you’ll find plenty of transit options within reach, including the A/C/E lines at 42nd Street–Port Authority and the N/Q/R/1/2/3/7 lines at Times Square–42nd Street. There isn’t on-site parking, but several public parking garages are nearby, such as Edison ParkFast, Icon Parking, and Dock Parking within easy walking distance. After your visit, you can stroll into the vibrant Times Square area, where a wide range of dining and hotel options await. We’ve highlighted affiliate partner recommendations below to help you secure convenient lodging and dining that fits your plans.
