Some FAQs:

What is World Maker Faire like?

World Maker Faire is an incredible event of makers and creatives from all over the world. You will see all sorts of interactive activities and demonstrations by all sorts of individuals and groups involving art, science, technology and creativity. There are also some speaker tracks inside the NYSCI itself.

What is the actual experience like, especially for the family?

World Maker Faire is held at the Hall of Science in Queens, NY - it is both outdoors in booths and tents as well as exhibits indoors inside NYSCI. Something like 100,000 people attend, so there can be crowds. It is a raine or shine event. There are porta-john bathrooms available and the sort of food and drink you'd find at a carnival - you'll more than likely eat it picnic-style in a grassy area. There are tons of fun things for children to do and watch. Your actual time at the Faire will be around 7 hours with roughly 3 hours travel on each end, which includes shuttle rides and the bus home. You will be able to leave and re-enter the event during the say should you so choose.

Can we bring our own food?

According to the World Maker Faire site, outside food and drinks are prohibited. You can however bring bookbags or other storage gear. Strange I included that tidbit, huh?

How are the tickets priced?

We calculate the price based on selling 75% of our available seats on the bus and covering the costs of transportation. We obtain a group discount code from World Maker Faire which gives us 15% off the posted event ticket price, all of which is passed on to you. There are some other odds and ends factored in, like the gratuity for the bus driver, the bus parking fee at Citi Field, and some fees related to purchasing the tickets online.
