Sony Wonder Technology Lab

Just a few blocks from the southeastern corner of Central Park, the Sony Wonder Technology Lab brings technology and entertainment together in a facility that endeavors to make learning fun.

This four-story facility houses interactive exhibits that will appeal to all ages. Upon entering the Lab, visitors see a 3D exhibit of space displayed on six OLED television screens. Here they receive a passport to activate interactive exhibits, which include a world map that simulates internet traffic, a demonstration on the function of digital cameras, and a timeline showing the evolution of technology.
