Like its 1939 predecessor, the 1964 World's Fair lost money. It was unable to repay its financial backers their investment, and it became embroiled in legal disputes with its creditors until 1970, when the books were finally closed and the Fair Corporation was dissolved. Most of the pavilions constructed for the fair were demolished within six months following the fair's close. While only a handful of pavilions and exhibits survived, some of them traveled great distances and found new homes following the fair:

* The Austria pavilion became a [[ski lodge]] at Cockaigne Ski Resort in western New York. On January 25, 2011, the building was destroyed by fire.<ref>{{cite news |last=Emke |first=Dave |title=Trying To Regroup: Ski Center Owners Look To Future After Fire Destroys Lodge |newspaper=[[The Post-Journal]] |date=January 26, 2011 |url=http://www.post-journal.com/page/content.detail/id/578606/Trying-To-Regroup.html |access-date=February 16, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222171537/http://www.post-journal.com/page/content.detail/id/578606/Trying-To-Regroup.html |archive-date=February 22, 2014}}</ref>

* The Belgian Village carousel after the 1964 World's Fair went to [[Montreal]], Quebec, Canada, where it was part of [[Expo '67]] in the Carrefour International at the [[La Ronde (amusement park)|La Ronde]] amusement area. After that fair closed, the ride was moved into the Kiddieland area of the now-permanent La Ronde Amusement Park. The 1885 "Le Galopant" carousel was restored in 2008, but has been out of service since 2019. It still can be found at LaRonde today (albeit for display purposes only), which is now owned by [[Six Flags]].

Some of the rolling stock still survives today in maintenance work use or in storage. Five of these cars (9306, 9307, 9310, 9586, 9587) are in the collection of the [[New York Transit Museum]], with 9306 regularly on display there. The rest of the fleet has been sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean as part of the "[[Redbird Reef]]" off the coast of the Northeast United States, to serve as an [[artificial reef|artificial barrier reef]] habitat for marine life.<ref name=nytreef>{{cite web |title=Growing Pains for a Deep-Sea Home Built of Subway Cars |website=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331 |date=April 8, 2008 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/us/08reef.html | access-date=April 15, 2020 |last=Urbina |first=Ian}}</ref>
