Barcode Times Square Review

Busy place but spend at least 15 to 30 minutes here. Better at night.

It is absolutely amazing! The visual images are mind blowing! A must see if you're in NYC!

Ir is a amazing places to get with family. Alot of good things to do. Specially for shoppers.

Very chic and cool place. Lots of big international brand shops. You can see beautiful people strolling coming from all parts of the globe. Lots of transportation and food choices too. Five star hotels are located here as well.

Times Square is always full of life. Amazing bright lights and tall buildings. So much to do, see and do. Tourist and New Yorkers crowd the busy streets. Whether day or night, it s never a dull time in Times Square.

My daily bypass way to my office and its people's dream place ard the world

The famous time square you'll find everything there from busy people to wierd cosplayers and people trying to sell you anything they have well it's a very diverse place from low to high class

I love coming here from time to time to enjoy the sounds of the big city. There is so many stores to shop at and many big screens to look at. I love coming here during the winter even though it's cold but it's so lovely to walk around with family and friends.

World most famous square is a place everyone should visits.

I seen times square on tv but going to visit times square was such an amazing experience

Crazy busy crowded due to two opposing rallies going on simultaneously across the street from each other. All the usual activity with costumes overwhelming and some barely there...like body painting and G-strings for coverage. Oh happy day. But the weather was nice and the FOOD at the festival.....indescribably delicious!!

It's fun but not fun like it should be.. the non Disney kinda fun.. but heck ya should still go

Thoroughly enjoyed the time there.....full of colours.... different cultures, varieties of food, celebrations, lifestyles, performances .....must visit in new york

A little over rated in terms of a tourist destination. It s definitely glitzy but watch your wallet and purse. We only walked through after seeing a show. From when I first visited years ago, they ve at least blocked off traffic.

times square is beautiful, I had a lot of fun with my friends.

It was an awesome experience. I can see people all around the world. I enjoyed a lot. Too many people

Wayyyyyyy too many scammers in the streets. You will get harassed all day by scammers and people disguised as cartoon characters. This should be illegalized immediately for the safety of the public. Not a minute went by where i didnt get harassed by someone asking for money it really takes away from the joy of sightseeing time sq. The stores here are ok. A bit expensive but u can find a good deal.

Wow! From Toronto, I still am amazed at how many people there are at the square!!! I love it eventhough it is so crowded and it is a must go place for everyone to go! Do go and see a street performance there and make sure to give your tips. Going at night is the best and especially at midnight where all the electronic signs perform a spectacular light show. I wasn't able to go but I've heard it's great.

FEW TIPS:
-DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF PERFORMANCES WITHOUT GIVING SOME TIPS
-DON'T ACCEPT CD'S FROM PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY IT IS FOR FREE IT IS NOT
-DON'T STAND IN THR MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK

Lively atmosphere. I like it for the people. Always happening.

I am always going there.......very good if you want to walk until late

Iconic NYC stop. Very busy and lots of activity no matter what time it is.

The crossroad of the world is an amazing place where the outdoor advertising media is the principal atraction. You will find lights, animations and a bunch of people always in this place

Times Square is a commercial junction, dotted with shops and lit up by billboards. The famous Broadway Theater District sits in the bustling intersection and offers the best in entertainment. There are countless restaurants and shops to enjoy the sights and sounds the square has to offer.

A great NYC experience, whether you are going to an exhibition, theater, movie,restaurant or stroll it is never dull. My favorite time in Times Square would be in the evening with all the exciting lights everywhere....My heart races when I am in this area.... make sure when you visit NYC, to spend time here...

When I first arrived to the city, the lights and colors of time square were overwhelming. There is a lot going on at once here. This may sound naive, but before visiting nyc I didn t realize how almost exclusively touristy this part of town is. I mean, it s all still very cool to see and be around. At night, the scene looks very futuristic. You feel like you re in a movie set in 2050 or something. Maybe this is obvious for most readers, but there aren t really local restaurants/bars/shops in Times Square. It s all chain stuff. Definitely worth seeing and exploring. You are close to so many other cool parts of the city too. Just be careful and don t go on one of those bike tours... don t let them talk you into it. I was charged around $60 for about an 8 minute right (misunderstanding, I thought he said he was not going to charge me). I guess that was my naivety and I had to learn the hard way!

Times Square is usually too crowded to enjoy but tonight there was plenty of space. Unfortunately that was due to COVID, hopefully we will get to the new normal and then I'll avoid Times Square again.

I don't understand the hype about Times Square. Yes, it is impressive to see all those screens, but that is it. To me, a shrine to consumerism and materialism. With the large crowds and the bright lights, it feels a bit overwhelming. A once in a lifetime visit would be enough to get the experience of big city lights.

A must visit in your life. City that does not sleep

So many people but so joyful , hilarious and clamorous. Really "New York " city.

Super fun place... in the middle of everything. Full of life!

Loved loved New York city....first time back in ages....greatest experience ever!!!

Wow, just wow! Such Ana amazing place - can't wait to visit again in the future

Lovely Times Square! No words can describe the ecstasy and flamboyance you experience at this place. Lot of lightning and plenty of people from all over the world come to visit this place. Spend a day or two here and you will enjoy every moment of it. There are plenty of places to eat, shop and simply watch. There was a live band performing every time I ve been here so it s an added joy to experience a live performance.

Never been there . Was just looking some thing up in times square

Madness describes this place the best. It has a bit of a Las Vegas feeling over it. Unfortunately there are some improvements on their way which makes it less nice to see. If you don't like crowds stay away and go to Central Park :)

Crowded but interesting. Grands loved the characters but some costumes were a bit 2 revealing.

Times Square was great! Very interesting and scenic. I liked the Father Duffy statue and the video about his service during WW1, as well.

Great night hangout with your friends. Eat, drink and have fun.

Be ready for people who are money hungry. Keep your pockets tucked, but enjoy the scenery.

Always great experience in Times Square! Place full of life, fun, lights, crowd, buildings! Heart of NYC!

This is not a place. This is New york city itself. Never seen the centre of any city across globe so vibrant and so cheerful. This is the must go and must experience for everyone visiting nyc. At night it s different and in day it s different. Various shopping options available.

Lovely experience. I don't like crowded places but in there I experienced traffic on sidewalk !! :) so if you feel uncomfort where a lot of people just do not go. New Yorkers are kind and friendly.I was surprised but after this trip I can say NY is safe place to visit !! and definitely worth it !!

Love that area. Bright lights always something to do and places to take a lot of beautiful pictures .

Its OK, although right now is not the best time to visit. It is very crowded, and nobody cares about covid there.

Always magic being here, regardless we have a mask on!

The coolest place and no one can rate this below 5,
Bustling destination in the heart of the Theater District known for bright lights, shopping & shows.
Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center and neighborhood in the Midtown Manhattan section of New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. It stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.Brightly adorned with billboards and advertisements, Times Square is sometimes referred to as "The Crossroads of the World"] "The Center of the Universe", "the heart of The Great White Way", and "the heart of the world".One of the world's busiest pedestrian areas, it is also the hub of the Broadway Theater Districtand a major center of the world's entertainment industry.Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing an estimated 50 million visitors annually.Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of them tourists,while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.

Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected Times Building, now One Times Square. It is the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop, began on December 31, 1907, which continues to attract over a million visitors to Times Square every year.

Smaller than I imagined but super cool. Lots to see and places to eat and drink. Very busy!

To be honest, this square is not impressive to me. This is an ordinary square with a bunch of tourists.

Definitely what Aladdin was speaking of "A Whole New World."

+A must visit place
+Great Vibe
+Entertaining street shows
+Very colorful and bright
+Nice restaurants and shops
+Like the movies
-Very crowded

One of the Most Happening Place on the entire planet. Proof that this city never sleeps.
The only lines running on my mind were from Jay-Z s hit with Alicia Keys. This city and especially Times Square is at a completely different and faster pace than the rest of America. It feels like you re in a completely different place... there are a lot of huge stores and billboards and almost every angle will be photogenic... To just sit back and relax I suggest you go to the Times Square McDonalds order something and enjoy the view from the second floor... Plenty of entertainment options are available too.

The heart of the big Apples. Totally a must place to go for all of the travelers in NYC. Only drawback is it has no free toilet here. Even all the toilet access in all the fast food chains are locked with code and only admit entry for their customers.

Amazin square! If you come to NY you have to visit it! It is a must-visit attraction of the amazin NY city.

Favourite place on Earth. Always come here just to relax, and enjoy the views that Times Square has to offer.

One of the best place to visit , fun, entertainment and party. Lots to explore, everybody should visit time square New York once in their life

We loved times square! Compared to SF ( which smells like a toilet that's visually surrounded by feces and hypodermic needles) it's a clean and safe place. There's a huge police presence on just about every other corner. Felt really safe. Yeah, you still need to be aware of your surroundings just like any other place but there's a feeling of safety here because of NYPD. We definitely want to come back again.

Like no other place on earth. Just be prepared to to walk and pump into people.

It's very nice to look at and it looks better at night. It's just that the stores around are really pricey so if you don't want overpriced stuff don't go in and just enjoy the view.

This place was amazing!! All the lights, billboards and things to do. I have never seen anything like it in life before. I loved all the energy and excitement there. I definitely recommend checking out Times Square. I can t wait to go back and spend more time there.

No matter what time of the day you go to Time Square you won't get bored !! Lots of fun around

So much crowd and beautiful light, evening time is must there

Quaint little intersection. There is a big set of bleachers where you can sit and observe throngs of people, traffic, and flashy billboards. Many hustlers in costumes will try to take photos with you for money.

Very neat experience. Several street preformers (some might as well have been naked )

It's a nice place to go see if you're a tourist. Pretty cool to see when it's dark outside. The whole time square is is glowing from the screens. Otherwise not much to do out there besides restaurants. Streets are pretty dirty..

Loved it both during the day & night visit. Electrifying effect created by the huge bright video displays. Must visit place which gives a lot of cheer & energy.

I did not expect to like this place, but it was amazing, now I understand all the hype.

Super crowded around Christmas time. Literally was smahed together at a standstill in the middle of the street trying to cross with thousands of other people...PRE-COVID

Pro tip: Avoid the crowds (but still experience the amazing neon overload that is Times Square) by going earlier in the day (10-11am).

Grab a coffee and a pastry from a nearby shop, post up at the tables near GMA studio 7, and watch NYC come to life while getting a healthy dose of the American dream: Ads erved up via flashing lights and selfie sticks galore!

So much to do! So much to see! We were there to see the Lion King on Broadway. It was so great! After the show we wandered around Times Square, took photos with different characters and ate dinner at a food cart! Even at 11pm, Times Square looks like broad daylight! It's a time we will not soon forget.

Very upbeat and lots going on from street performers to eating cheesecake and shopping

It was a new experience for me and my family but we enjoyed every minute of it the scenery was breathtaking

This place is out of control! I swear it got busier as the night went on. People everywhere. You really get a sense of the heartbeat for this city, just overwhelming and truly awesome. Obviously a must see when you're in town. I want to be critical, but it's New York! Cmon!

Times square is the heart of new York city. It's awesome in night. There are bug screens , lights, shops, entertainment shows in night which you can enjoy. Trip to NYC is not complete without visiting times square. There are hop on hop off buses starting from times square. Times square is bit crowded on busy days like long weekends ,new year eve etc. So make sure plan visit accordingly

I love the energy of this place. It's an amazing experience. In the night all the ads on the screens are incredible. There are so many different people in the same place is crazy. I recommend Times Square!!

A excellently beautiful place, I love how everything is full of movement and colors, over here you can see a lot of cool places to buy stuff, and if I am not wrong, in winter... In winter, is the best place you can be.

Brighter than ever! Felt very safe with tons of NYPD around.

We had a great experience! so many people everywhere! so much stores and places to go. convenient subways and transportation everywhere!
