The Oculus, a striking white structure at the World Trade Center, takes on a festive glow each December. Inside the soaring architectural landmark, you’ll find holiday lights, seasonal installations, and a mini skating rink. Though the rink is smaller than it often appears in photos, the Oculus itself is worth visiting for its unique design and convenient location above the Westfield shopping center. It’s a quick, photogenic stop while exploring Lower Manhattan’s holiday attractions.
