The fair was held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in the Borough of Queens. That location held both the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair and the 1939/1940 New York World’s Fair.
More than fifty-one million people attended the Fair which had a theme of "Peace Through Understanding," dedicated to "Man's Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe."
The most notable exhibit was General Motors Corporation whose Futurama, a show in which visitors seated in moving chairs glided past detailed scenery showing what life might be like in the "near-future," proved to be the Fair's most popular exhibit. Nearly twenty-six million people took the journey into the future during the Fair's two-year run.
