The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows was a celebration of futuristic innovation and global optimism. Showcasing iconic exhibits like GM's Futurama, IBM's early computers, and Disney-designed attractions, the fair embodied 1960s space-age dreams. Although it faced financial difficulties, its legacy lives on through cultural influences and the iconic Unisphere, a symbol of peace and technological progress that continues to inspire visitors in Queens today.
