NEW YORK CITY PAVILION
AND ICE THEATER

The host city of the Fair, which is celebrating its own 300th birthday in 1964, presents two major attractions in its big permanent building. They are an ice show produced by former Olympic figure-skating champion Dick Button, and "Panorama around New York," a simulated helicopter ride over a huge scale model of the city. The model includes every one of New York's 835,000 buildings and all of its streets, ferries, docks, bridges and airports.
