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!

We visited RiseNY on the final morning of our New York stay with it being just 5 minutes from our hotel. We went in with no idea what to expect but we’re very impressed at how they have shown NYC through its early history and then through fashion, finance, music, TV and much more. To top the experience off was the actual ride, amazing is one word to describe it! You don’t just get the sights on a huge screen but the smells and feelings too. Parts of the ride are very emotional too like the 9/11 memorial and flying over the marathon. When I’m next in NYC I will also be back to RiseNY!

We are so glad you gave RiseNY a shot! Soaring over the marathon is a favorite moment; so glad to know you felt the emotions there too! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Very easy walk through NY history which ends on a really fun note (which I will not spoil). I suggest taking this up on the 2nd day in New York to get an idea of the different aspects of New York. A great launch into this city.
