1 . A New Museum of Ice Cream
The hottest museum in New York has got pop art, its own subway and a line out the door and around the block. It might not really be a museum at all.
The Museum of Ice Cream has built its first location in 2016 in Manhattan. At that time, so many people headed there that its tickets sold out within five days. And then, it was followed by Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. Now, it founds a permanent (永久的) home in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood.
The newest Museum of Ice Cream is a dream place for people. It provides many kinds of delicious ice creams. But only this can’t explain its success. With the theme of ice cream, things in it are pink. There’s a subway that transports visitors to the dream world of dessert, a top-floor slide which is a child’s dream on the playground, a swimming pool and other items they will enjoy.
The permission to photos
Unlike other museums where the phones are not allowed, everything in the Museum of Ice Cream makes taking photos so popular. People who visit it will tend to take many photos. The Rose Mansion and Color Factory that also introduce such experiences owe their success to the Museum of Ice Cream.
The big-ticket item in the museum
There is a sprinkle pool (糖果池) filled with candies. Creative founder Maryellis Bunn dreamed of swimming in the sea of chocolate when she was a child. “It’s all about fun, and feeling like a kid again,” She said. So she designed it where she and 30,000 other New Yorkers could do that.
Cost
Tickets start at $39 and kids under 2 are free,plus more for private sprinkle pool parties and activities with up to 40 friends.

9 . Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market now.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he/she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. Happily, it has been sold on the market.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing — but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures — all while getting exercise.
