The free admission is only available on these selected dates between the hours of 4pm and 7pm. It will not be available before these times on the dates either.

While you are there, you can also check out the recently reopened NY Energy Zone. Visitors can take a walk through the past, present and future of electricity. Not only are the exhibits interactive, but you will learn about New York's exciting electric history at the same time.
