Or so they sang back in 1964.


Wow - remember when people dressed up to go to the "big show"? and we were amazed when Disney's animatronic Lincoln stood up and spoke to us? (yikes - I sure was!)
 
Well if you want to go I have one Adult, and one Child ticket left over that I never used. Still have them.

I remember ATT introducing "push-button" dialing AND I actually got to try "picture phone" with a total stranger in an other city also in the ATT pavilion.
Got a ride in a Chrysler ~Turbine~ car. That was cool.
 
My maternal grandmother took me to NYC for a week to go to the fair. I was about 7 and still remember doing the sky ride, It's a small world and other sites, plus riding the subway and staying in a sort of seedy hotel owned then by a distant cousin. I still have all the slides she took, a scrapbook of the fair she made later and a small casting of the Pietia she got at the fair. Have a little tiny plastic 707 they gave kids on Pam Am somewhere too, little worse for near 60 years wear though.
 
By the way, the guy on the video failed to mention that one of the towers in the NY State pavilion had a revolving restaurant. My parents took the family there. You got to enjoy dinner as you slowly revolved for a 360* view of the fair.
 
a friend of ours sang in the chorus of It's a Small World for the world's fair
 
Bought my first watch at the Worlds Fair from an unknown (then) Japanese watch company.
Paid $30 for my first Seiko self-winding watch. Still have it.
