Learn about fire safety and shop for FDNY clothing and gift items at the FDNY Fire Zone at Rockefeller Center.

The center advertises itself as being kid-friendly, but it should also be of enjoyable for adults with an interest in fire protection and fire fighting. You’ll meet active and retired members of the FDNY, and there’s plenty of opportunity for hands-on exploration of firefighting equipment and gear. A cutaway fire engine gives a closeup look of how fire trucks work, and you can try on gear to see how it feels to suit up for a fire.

Admission to the Fire Zone is free. If you want to do the fire simulator experience, there is a fee of $6 for adults and children and $2 for seniors.

The fire experience guides visitors through an interactive fire simulator experience with special effects and multimedia presentations that teach you what to do in case of a fire.

There’s an onsite shop with FDNY toys, books, collectibles, t-shirts, and other apparel. The gift shop is an official store of the FDNY and sells licensed Fire Department merchandise.
