Barcode Times Square Reviews

This needs to be at the top of your list for any visit to New York. There's so much to see here, including the peoplewatching. Shops and restaurants in the area with many options. Frankly if you want better food go two blocks over to 8th Street and eat where the locals do. The Time Square lights are awesome. Many great photo ops and tons of people.

i love the vibe here. very chill.food are high though

Fun to go and absorb the atmosphere. I went during the day and would be interested to see it at night. I've heard there is a light show every night at 11:57. Plenty of shopping and people watching to do. Go to McDonald's for $1 sodas and public bathrooms.

IT'S TIMES SQUARE IN NEW YORK CITY. Enjoyed just sitting and watching all the people go by. Lots of touristy restaurants and shops.

I wish they had more items from the movie 'Aladdin'. Other than that, they have so many amazing Disney stuff. I specifically loved the Statue of Liberty Minnie Mouse items and took a plush home. This store also has a great selection of the Disney Eats kitchen supply range and I bought a golden Mickey Mouse silverware set. The staff at this Disney store is incredibly friendly and did a great job in helping us find things and answer questions!

Seem upscale... but the security was looking at me like they thought I was a thief are other than that I like it there. If you like style that isn't like the common fast fashion then this is the place but most of the clothes were very seasonal..so since its spring they were a lot of pink peach and floral
.. so I didnt find what I want because I need a evening dress

Enjoy going there it's amazing you feel like you leaving life

One of the most important attraction in NY city. I surprised when I saw there three naked women offering photos with them to the people, it was awful seen , it is not good if you have your family.

One of its kind. Need to see to understand. Just come and take look !!!

Born and raised in New York I've seen the transition of Times Square from 70s 80s and 90s and at the present time it is amazing. If you come to New York City that is a must see!!

If you're in New York and you don't go. What are you doing?

Really? There are reviews for Time Square??? Ok.
Big neon signs? Check. Dozen people dressed up as Elmo? Check. Every chain restaurant known to human kind? Check. Tourists all excited? Check. Naked cowboy? Well, it's two weeks before Xmas. Jenny McCarthy? Thank God she ain't there. Go take pictures. Check.

Time Square almost empty, its something unusual . Everyone put mask on their faces.

This is sorta one of the things you have to do when visiting Manhattan. It's a pretty impressive sight to see, and you'll be visiting with about four thousand other people just about any time of day... I would head over just as the sun is going down to get the brilliant effect of all the screens. Walk, don't plan on driving :)

Time Square was interesting to go experience. At night it is neat with all the lights and people watching. Unfortunately one night there there was a group of protesters and we just avoided them. We also had some guy's trying to sell us their music and they kept hounding us about it. I do not like that feeling of being pressured and forced to buy something you are not interested in but to avoid any conflict I gave them $5.

The shops are fun to go in and out of to buy things. There are several food carts all over the place. I like that it was not very crowded when we were there. Just keep your wits about you and aware of your surroundings.....

This iconic place is loved by visitors around the world, that's why is so crowded. Is one of the best places to get a perfect selfie. Stores around Time Square are open to very late, the big variety of spectacular Broadway Shows and Restaurants are the best excuse to visit

Really nice place! Grate stores grate atmosphere; it's the definition of "the city that never sleeps"
MUST visit and enjoy all the active mood.
Stop and buy a classic hotdog and make yourself a nice painting.

Tye times Square is really noise and interesting! Must be visited.

love the vibe, but a lot of annoying costumes. they chase you around, but it's fine.

Awesome experience! If you never been here take a bus trip and go. The lights, sights and sounds will amaze you.

Lost its charm due to Covid19 related lack of tourists.

Amazing to see all the billboards and people in one place. Don't rush it to take your picture. Just relax and enjoy the view, you're standing or sitting at one of the most famous places in the whole wide world.

One of the most Iconic places in this world , a must see arena for every world traveller . The best New York has to offer . It is particular famous for Broadway and all the Limelight that goes along with it. One of those must places to Visit .

Very busy and crowded place which I think only has some artificial value. Good place to hang out through specially in the evening. The cleanliness can be improved although it is not a big issue. Just a nice, well lit place to hangout with thousands of others who visit everyday.

People watching , crowded, loud ,,dirty all the Fabulous things that make it great some great stores also .....FYI: NYC doesn t have sales tax on clothes and shoes under 100$

Christmas time fun with friends. Good street food and shows on streets. Had fun

Always very crowed but the lights make it all worth it.

I love New York. Time Square is a great place to visit no matter what time it is, what day it is or what season it is. There's always something to see. The Police Officers gave us directions to the subway. I had a great time there.

Amazing how the city is so busy and the huge buildings all around you and the lights at night, wow!

Greatest part of New York.. just spend all your day here. Shopping food, coffee theatres. Just go there and see .

if your a tourist it is the first place you should go, One of the most famous places in NY, It is the heart of the busiest city in the world.
Amazing sights with the massive TV screens, This area looks very nice at night.
great diversity of people.
Gigantic stores.
One of the best places to go for a walk in New York and Central Park cannot be miss.
Unique place in the world.

Always so much fun hanging out, people watching, and shopping in time square. While I d consider it safe, it is a large, diverse collection of people so it s good to keep parties together but there isn t really a time that it clears up so you can really go at any time. We enjoy staying in time square and enjoying the evenings walking the streets and enjoying the crowds.

I can say I've now seen it. Much smaller than on TV but a great place to people watch!

Every time I walk into Times Square, I feel like a kid in my adult body. From the large screens and huge stores to how fantastic it looks at night all lit up. Times Square is constantly busy with various pop-up activities occurring. A must visit location in NYC.

Surrounded by abundance of lights. Some spots are so bright that it feels like daylight.
A very happening and thus constantly crowded place. A must-visit on any short trip itineraries.

It's a must visit when you visit New York, iconic and breathtaking to see it in person. It's always busy and only gets busier as the day progresses, even if you don't stop for food or shop it's still worth passing through just to get a feel for the atmosphere.

If you are around, go and take some pictures. Otherwise, do not bother.

There are literally 1.000 better palces to visit if you are in Manhattan.

Too crowded for me.

Times Square is perfect to visit right now with the pandemic.. I have gone at night and there is so much space to walk around.. There is so much space to take photos.. Good photos.. Police is everywhere to make sure everyone is safe.. They are cool AF.. Honesty I haven't walked around during the day.. But I'm from Orlando FL so I would probably have gotten anxiety. BTW I get why the high rate of COVID and deaths.. Garbage everywhere.. It smells dirty

You have to visit Times Square at least once in your life. Even if it's not New Year's Eve, you just have to visit this lively place and take on the sites, shopping and perhaps just people watching.

Bustling Times Square, famous for its flashing billboards, New Year's Eve count down, and constant throngs of people, lies at the heart of Midtown Manhattan. This intersection is really about the energy one feels when standing on the corner as taxi cabs rush by and lights flash overhead, rather than any individual site on the square. While it is an interesting place during the day, it is probably best seen at night to experience the full impact.

There is always something going on at Times Square. This place is like a huge surprise box, you never know what you are going to get. This Friday it was this magnificent add.

Another New York icon. Well worth a visit. Like Piccadilly Circus on steroids

Times square is truly the location that you can picture from all the movies. There is a lot to see and do, but (at least while I was there) the intersection is not so chaotic that you couldn't spend quality time with loved ones easily. However, definitely be sure to make restaurant reservations in advance.

Enjoy a coffee and sit and watch the city go by. There is a Starbucks with outdoor seating. Live entertainment.

It was colorful and crowded. But I do not get what all the fuss/hype is about. A lot of tall buildings with advertising boards in front of which people take selfies. That's about it. Maybe I did not 'do times square' correctly. I enjoyed the central park a lot more which is saying something because years of tourism and zero/low maintenance has had its toll.

Iconic place. There's a lot of excitement but the pandemic changed everything. Lots of shops have shuttered.

Times Square lives up to the hype. It is amazing and bright.

Of course, the amount of people you trip over because they stopped in their tracks to take a photo is enough to make you hate tourism, but I will save that for a soapbox.

As crazy as you think and heard it was. We visited during the day and night. It s very impressive either way and it was a sight to see. If you are afraid of crowds visit during the day, but everything lit up at night is worth it. Just remember to be patient and enjoy the views. Everyone is looking at all of the lights and there will be people stopping to pose for photos. I noticed a few people complaining about people just stopping in the middle of the sidewalks. It s what everyone wants to see so relax and take it all in. Enjoy your visit!

Fantastic place great atmosphere will definitely visit again can't wait .

One of the best places to see in the world! Excellent food everywhere, so much to do. Just have some walking shoes and get lost in a true American big city. (PS even got to see Hamilton the play)

Times Square is the place to be if you re looking for adventure and memories

Is great to go walk now, not too crowded as it used to be!

Great energy! Amazing tourists loving NYC.
Stores loaded with discounts
(I luv clothes w/ trendy styles). Yummy bites, happy hour prices & dinner options and Broadway theatres.

The one and only tourist spot! If you come to NYC, you must make it a priority to visit here

If you enjoy crowds, electric vibe this is the place for you, otherwise don't go as it is really busy. Lots to see. Parking pretty pricey.

Probably the most famous tourist spot in New York City. Times Square is a must visit. Be careful of people trying to stop you to take photos with unless you want to pay tips.

One of the most amazing places on the planet. Mostly by the power of feelings that overcome your mind when you come on this place.
"Flashy neon signs, funky billboards
Tourists throng here always in hordes
Trading hub, commercial center
Entertainment's epicenter!
See here, see there, see everywhere-
Exciting fun is sure to snare
Come, break monotony's pressure
Welcome to Times square's treasure
Exotic and quixotic place
Lose yourself in alluring maze!"

Loved it! Big screens ads EVERYWHERE, people EVERYWHERE! Truly what you see on TV! This was my first time in NYC and I will definitely be back.

It's Time Square!!! It is busy yet beautiful! I NY!

Not sure what the fuss is of this place. Sure there are all these huge screens around. Ok it does make you seem more connected to the many movies that have featured this spot. If you don't come here, you haven't missed much.

The organization 'One Fair Wages' landing in NYC with a message to Governor Cuomo.

Mildly overwhelming, highly touristy experience. It's a plaza/intersection/block plastered with high-definition TV screen billboards showing a variety of advertisements. It's a pretty cool/iconic thing to see, but not somewhere you want to spend a lot of time.

Great experience always. I live in nyc and it never gets overrated

Is the ONE OF A KIND PLACE TO BE!!!!
SO TRENDY, SO COLORFUL, SO BEAUTIFUL AND even thou is a modern CITY, also brings me the feeling of the Old Times.
Is such an incredible City.
I am definitely going to visit again!! Very soon!!.
Such a magic moment at New Years Eve!! Totally breath taking!!

I love it here. There is so much to see and so unique to NYC. Every time I visit New York we stop at Times Square. Stop by the Marriott and ride the cool glass elevators to the top. It's a unique experience to go up fourth five floors in an all glass elevator. There's a restaurant on top that spins as well.

Cool spot for photos. Too many tourists crammed into a small place at times.

The heart of NYC where dreams come true !! Its times square Baby enjoy your life!!

It's crazy busy, it's dirty, it smells terrible and everything surrounding it is either crazy expensive or horrible quality. At night the signs look great, but it's also really just a massive advertising square that people travel to see. If you're in the area passing through once is enough, but there's nothing awesome about this space.

New York's Times Square is always crowded, no matter the time of day or time of year. According to Times Square's official website, more than 300,000 pedestrians enter "the heart of Times Square" every day.

Though the New Year's Eve ball-drop draws hundreds of thousands, Broadway shows and brand-name stores attract tourists year-round. But it's not just tourist contributing to the crowds. Locals who work in midtown pass through the square during their commute.

Awesome!!!! Great place to take your family. So many shops and restaurants to go to. Our hotel was right in Times Square. Was able to sit in my hotel window and look at all of the lights and people walking the streets.

Always nice to visit Times Square but I never understood the reason of 2 statues ..... Very thoughtful to put a statue after another statue.... maybe they will add another one

Great place to people watch. You'll see people from all over the globe. Very unique experience. Street performers around to paint you a picture, paint your portrait or get simply entertain. The huge video displays light the night. Vivid and moving explosions of color. Speaking of color... The boys in BLUE are ever present and lend an air of security that keeps everyone on the straitand narrow. Like it or not.

So empty . Finally was able to visit Time square without tons of people just make sure to have your PPE

One of the world's most iconic locations and one of my favourite places on earth. It has everything I was would recommend the location for your hotel stay

Loved it, its the first time we've visited during the day for a long time but it still gives you a buzz of excitement

The best time to visit is by the sunset. You can see the people from all around the world at one place.

Larger than life! Amazing experience at night, lots of tourists as expected, tons of shops open late, places to eat. Must see while visiting NYC!

I've always loved Times Square, but it's become a tourist trap. All of the smaller, mom & pop and interesting places have been driven out. Still worth visiting if you're a tourist.
