NFL Experience Times Square

When you’re a fan of American Football, like the New York teams the New York Jets and New York Giants, you should definitely visit the NFL Experience. The NFL Experience in Times Square is an attraction entirely dedicated to American Football. The aim of the experience is to ensure that visitors “enter as a fan, become a player and leave a champion”. It is an interactive attraction where you can experience American Football in a variety of hands-on ways.

The NFL Experience has closed. I recommend you to visit the Madison Square Garden All Access Tour instead.

American Football attraction

A visit to the four-storey NFL Experience begins as you take the escalator up to the top floor. Here, in the theatre, with images projected in front of and next to you, while you sit on moving chairs you can follow the players throughout the season and experience other surprises along the way. Continuing on and down through the other floors, there are a number of activities. Your own football skills will be put to the test. See how high you can jump, compare the size of your hands to those of a player, and test your talent for throwing a football. In addition, through the use of the latest technology, you can try on the player’s kits and much more!

The NFL Experience is a truly hands-on experience for football fans who want to be immersed in the game, it’s players and the whole competition of this popular American sport. Do you have the capacity to develop from a player at the beginning of the season to the winner of the Super Bowl? Here’s your chance. If your visit has given you an appetite, you can finish it with a bite to eat at the in house cafe, NFLX Eats. Try some real ‘stadium inspired cuisine’ to the round of your experience of all dimensions of a football game! If you want to complete the journey, you should definitely buy tickets to a real game. See the schedule of sports games in New York for available games.

Eric’s Tip: The NFL Experience is a nice attraction for everyone that wants to know more about American Football. In addition, the interactive elements make it a fun place for children, even if they (or you) don’t know anything about the sport. In the hours before noon, it’s generally quieter, so if you want to avoid the crowds I recommend to plan your visit during the morning.
