very small but definitely worth a visit if you are in the area
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
the best thing about the museum is the timeline showing how and where skyscrapers developed in the world over time. It really drives home that the centre of the world is shifting to Asia big time....

It is really small, only one exhibit. There is a security gaurd making sure nobody touches anything, so he might follow you around if your kids touch something.

Very nice museum with wonderful models. Very informative. Nice section on NYC and the WTC. Very well priced at $5. Definitely with the price. I will stop again next time I'm in the city.

Compact but compelling
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Skyscraper Museum celebrates the vertical density of Manhattan. It's a small space, but with the right curator can tell a compelling story. The current exhibition, The Rise of Wall Street, tells...

If you decide to visit this museum, just note that it doesn't open until noon. We arrived at 11:30 a.m. and discovered this. Across the street from the museum is the river park with plenty of places...
