Times Square is a busy crossroads in the heart of New York City covered in giant bright screens and colorful signs. It is packed with theaters, shops, and crowds of happy visitors.
It is famous for its dazzling lights that glow both day and night, earning it the nickname the Crossroads of the World. Every New Year's Eve a giant ball drops here while millions of people celebrate.
Enormous digital billboards light up the whole square so brightly that it feels like daytime even at night. The glowing colors make it one of the most photographed spots in the world.
Right around Times Square are the famous Broadway theaters where singers and dancers put on amazing live shows. Many family musicals fill the stages with music and costumes.
Every December 31st a sparkling crystal ball slowly drops down a pole as the crowd counts to midnight. It is one of the most famous celebrations on the whole planet.
