What To Expect

RiseNY

Begin your adventure with an immersive film by award-winning documentarian Ric Burns and narrated by Jeff Goldblum that transitions to an interactive self-guided walkthrough tracing tipping points in history that contributed to NYC's global pop culture evolution. Discover the rise of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange in our Finance Gallery. Learn the history of mass media after the advent of Tesla's Coil in the TV/Radio gallery. Understand the laws of physics through the Otis elevator brake in our Skyline gallery. Visual and performing arts come to life in the Fashion, Music, Film, and Broadway galleries. Then prepare to soar to New (York) heights with a spectacular uplifting ride - a world-class flying theater - that gives visitors a unique bird's-eye view of the Big Apple. See the Statue of Liberty up close, fly over Central Park, Yankee Stadium, and more - all while seated inside a 180-degree 40' projection dome that gives the sensation of flight!

My son and I were looking for something to do on our last day in NYC so tried this out. It wasn’t crowded at all. I thought the price was reasonable for a his activity. The entire thing took us about 1 hr 20 min. You start by sitting in a subway simulator with a great video about the history of the city, Next you walk through a museum with great info and some artifacts about history, entertainment etc…would have loved more artifacts. Last is the simulator ride which was awesome.

I was kind of expecting this to be very touristy, but I was pleasantly surprised how well done it was. There was a lot of interesting information about NYC. The video at the start was very interesting. The virtual ride at the end was very fun. I wish the virtual video had labels on the different sections so when you are soaring over an area, you knew where you were.

The ride itself was great! Did not like the employees attitude. I purchased the front of the line and ended up in the back because they did not know what I had purchased.
