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!

Loved the simulator and flying over NYC You feel like you are actually soaring over the city. The staff was fantastic and the woman working the desk made it very easy for us to reschedule for the following morning.

Lots of reading so may not be fun for young children. So much good information and visuals about New York. We learned a lot and it was interesting. The final “ride” was really cool and similar to Epcot’s Soarin. Definitely a fun activity for your trip to New York.

Thank you so much for Rising with us! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the ride portion as well as all of our NYC info. You can utilize your smartphone to access audio content in each of our galleries if you'd like to cut down on the reading!

The short film at the beginning was well done, as was the 'flying' film at the end. The museum type exhibits were interesting, but I didn't realize 90% of the experience was the museum. There were very long waits for each part of the experience. Probably half our time there was standing in a line.
